Please accept my apologies

Many thanks to all those who have left me comments since I started this blog.    I have been by the touched by your kind words about my creations.     I didn't realise that I could thank people for their kind words, so now I know I just click on your names and it takes me directly to your blogs I will be reciprocating.

My New CD "Times Gone By"

I couldn't wait for my new CD to arrive and as usual the people at Crafters Companion we very quick with the delivery,   Ordered, one day (early morning) and arrive the next day.  

Here are some of the cards I have made already.   Just love using this CD "Times Gone By" one of Joanna Sheen's Cds  all the images are very crisp and clear.   Someone recommended to me to try and use Matte Photo Paper,  if you haven't tried it, you must,  it's brilliant.   I still love the using Gloss Photo Paper as I also love the way the picutres shine.

It's the weekend again "!"

Where has the week gone,  only seems 5 minutes ago that it was Sunday and it was pouring with rain then and it's pouring with rain again.

Still playing with my Humphrey CD, again it's one from the Card Companions.   They are great for quick cards, which is all I seem to have time for at the moment.  Last week it was the Scout fete most of Saturday so didn't get much time to craft, hopefully this weekend will be better.
Sorry about the quality of the picture, had to use my sons digital camera which is only 2mpx as mine is temporary somewhere where I can't remember where I have put it !!

Messing arround with Humphrey !

What else is there to do on a wet and windy day in June?   I've been snuggled up in my craftroom all afternoon making more cards.   Humphrey is so much fun to craft with,  here is another one.
Its again from the card companion section, but this time I have added an extra layer to those printed. and put some foam pads under the top layer just to give it a little bit more dimension.   Have added a dark purple ribbon from my crafty bits and bobs box and some tiny purple gems to finish it off.

I LOVE Humphrey - well who doesn't !

Just loving this new CD from Crafters Companion.   Don't know where to start first, so just to get something done, I have used the all new section "Card Companions".  This wonderful section prints onto  one page everything you need to have for one complete quick card.   It is the fantastic idea of Leanne.    Loving it.
Here is the "Card Companion" card for the Humphrey Competition they have running at the moment.

Having Fun with the Crafters Companion products

Just love using anything by Crafters Companion.   Been playing some more  with the die cut decoupage.  Its so easy to use and the finish is brilliant.   Love using their Collall 3d glue gel.   Here is the card I have done for their June blog challenge "Here Comes Summer"  I again have put a matted layer from MS punch around the page punch,  it is not too obvious from the photo but I have also distress inked around this as well in light blue to tone in with the blue layer I have matted and layered onto white 6" x 6" card.
