This is another card for Meg, I thought it would be nice to make the card but used a couple of decorated envelopes for her to put bits n bobs from her 18th in, cards etc maybe, so it's not an album as such, I call it a Keepsake card, she liked it anyway :0)







This is the other card I did for Megans 18th birthday. Meg is in a drama school and loves these masks so I think she liked it well enough!! I mucked it up at the very last minuet cos I decided to trim a bit off the top cos it wasn't perfect.. fopahhh!! I cut through the securing bit of the cord holding the beads and I think top 3 beads are in serious danger of coming out, it was too late to rectify or remake so hope they last until Meg gets the card and then puts them away!!

A card I did as a tryout for someone, bit to complicated if I remember right, but put my cricut through its paces!!


A little Anniversary card for Suzi, well for a friend of hers anyway, is it a bit OTT probably! but thats a long time to be married and deserves a medal... sorry nice card!!

I know I keep doing these name books but I like doing them and they are so personal to the person getting them they like them too, I loved this one cos the baby is soooooo gorguss, isnt she beautiful :0)







I was quite happy with this SISTER word book but it took ages to make and then I realised I'd used the wrong font.... ARGHHHH!! it took me ages to get the words to cut out how I wanted them, I had just finished a really nice (say it myself) word book for a couple that got married, it said FOREVER, unfortunately I lost all the pictures on my phone, so only got one picture of it when I had just cut it out, but none of the finished item.... GUTTED!!! it was probably one of my best efforts too... boo hoo (I found the pic and put it on, its after this post)


Well, this is the only pic I have of the FOREVER word book, THIS was the font I was supposed to be using for the SISTER book above!! what on earth was I doing? I am so upset that I lost all the pics of this book cos it really was quite nice.... isnt it a lovely font tho!!


Haven't been on for ages, so got a few projects I did a while back to put on, I did this name book for Dani, it looked ok and she was pleased with it

Well, I finally made a card for my friend, its nowt special but was the best I could come up with due to lack of mojo, I think the dog eat it!! my mojo, not the card!

I wanted to put a couple of pics of the new edition to our family, this is Tilly she's a Hungarian Vizla and is gorguss, she's 14 months old and absolutely crackers! she's changed our lives forever and I'll probably never make another card again unless its got a picture of silly tilly on it...

I like this card, I made it for my fwend Suzi, isnt Lola the cutest little girl :) I enjoyed doing this easle card and had to think about how I could use all the pics Suzi gave me as I loved all of them and just couldnt leave any out!! I was pleased with this card which is rare for me, the pictures make it for me!!

Some pics I took of our blue tits nesting in one of our boxes just by the front door, unfortunately we missed the chicks leaving home but I wonder if that thrush was keeping 'dickey eye' while they had their practice flights? will have to be more vigilant next year!











Look who we found in our garden this morning, a terrified little deer!! she was keeping a very close eye on me whilst trying to find her way out, goodness knows how she got in our garden, anyway several hours later I think she has found a way out and hopefully gone home!! isn't she lovely :)this was a very quick card I made with my trusty cricut for one of DD's friends, I should have cut out the happy birthday bit but I was in a rush so fell back on the dreaded peel offs, she liked it anyway!
Suzi moved house recently so I made this for her again with my cricut, what a fantasic little machine he is :)








Here's a few pictures of a wordbook for Teresa's grandson called (funnily enough) Harrison.... this is a bigger version of the one I did for a baby girl called Maddison but this one has pictures in!!





























Well, here are some pics of an album I started back in November just after I got made redundant, unfortunately it was another of my 'disaster' projects and after several things going wrong I abandoned the whole thing for several months! the young girl in the pics (Jade) passed away recently and this was requested by her cousin Kaylee for Jades mum to have as a keepsake, luckily there was no mad rush, just as well cos my mojo had still not returned from wherever its been for the last 30 years! anyway, my conscience finally got the better of me and I managed to finish it, It was a very sad thing to work on, and I'm not sure I've done Kaylee justice but I did my best and she liked it well enough thank goodness, it turned out to be a much bigger book than I'd planned on but there were a lot of pics and I felt they should all go in if poss, so its ended up 10 or 11 pages, in fact it was so big and fat I couldn't use my bind it all machine as I'd planned so had to buy giant sized book rings which I think spoiled it a bit... ah well.....
Jade loved lots of bright colours, beetle cars and playboy bunnies so I've put some of that in, but also more stuff for her mum to enjoy too!
