Big News

Well I have some big news I've been waiting to share with you, and as we got to tell all the various family people over the Christmas holidays I can finally tell the world ;-)

Joe and I are engaged to be married in December 2008. I got the most gorgeous ring, it's a 1930's antique platinum ring, and I love it.

Happy Christmas

Can you believe it's that time of year again already?

I want to share a very special Christmas card I made with you this week. Its for my Gran and is a collage using gel transfer techniques, stamping, inking, aging and lots of embossing.

As this piece came together I found myself thinking how the little girl looks quite like my Gran as a child. She too had dark, slightly curly hair. So the piece came together with her in mind, and I chose the brads which anchor the ribbon as her initials - "MB" - Maureen Bruton.

There is a little door at the back tied with ribbon, and the message inside reads "I hope all your Christmas Wishes come true".

 

Happy Christmas to All My Friends!!!

Birthday Cards

Here's a few more birthday cards I finished last week.

SW - My World

The theme for ScrapWest last week was 'My World' - although I struggled a little to come up with the idea, I was pretty happy with the final result.

Dad's Birthday Card

It's my Dads birthday on Monday so here is the card I'll be sending in the post tomorrow.

Christmas Cards

Here's a few different christmas cards I've made up...

It's been ages since I played with my alcohol inks and I was trying to figure out something new to try with them. While thinking about what I could try I thought how Utee should take alcohol inks well. So here's my christmas tree effort using alcohol inks. I'd love to hear what you think.



This next card is based on my SW LO last week. I really liked the cosy image that I took last christmas and wanted to make it into a card.



Finally this is a really simple cut out christmas tree, on a patterned paper background. I wasn't sure, but find I like the non traditional colours for this image.

I made this birthday card for a very special friend of mine recently. I was so pleased with the result I wanted to share it with you.
