I designed this for a friends wedding, she was chuffed to bits with it, I think they looked quite effective and would be lost without my cricut.... best bit of kit I ever bought and SCAL is second!!


one of my cut out cards for a wedding recently, quite subdued for me eh!!


I can't believe I'm putting this on but its gotta be worth a larf, my lovely DD was 30 in June and I decided in my wisdom to make her a cake, the idea was to have a 3 tier cake one tier per decade, the items on the layers are some of the things she loved in that decade, I decided to get the people made as I realised I would make a huge bodge up if I tried, (the cake was bad enough!) anyway it looks dreadful but she thought it was ok, she loved He Man when she was little and of course her Teddy (he still sits on her bed) so that was the first layer, the second was taken up with.... yes you guessed it, FOOTY all my hopes and dreams of a ballerina gone!! the Mini is the exact model of her first car, and finally she's now plod and the BMW is the best car she's had, she loved that car! sadly gone now and replace with a teeny weeny Toyota....
the cake may have looked dreadful but tasted pretty good according to everyone who had some, and boy was there a lot, it was a huge cake!!

I CAN HEAR YOU LARFING!!!!!


this is a card for my nieghbour Carol, (92) she had a dreadful flood in her bungalow just after Christmas and still hasn't moved back in! fingers crossed she should be back by next weekend so thought I'd do her a Welcome Home card, this is a card I've done a couple of times but as I sold the cricut cart with it on I have done this one completely from scratch in SCAL, I'm actually quite chuffed with this one as I made the shape for the roof myself in Inkscape, very simple I know but it's my first attempt, and then I realised I could give it more definition by adding the little cuts, I figured out I could do this in SCAL, I am very pleased with myself as I've had SCAL for years and only just figured out how to use it better.... doh

Carols fav colour is lilac so I've done this for her, I even managed to cut out window frames to make it more dimentional, the first picture isnt a very good one tho, anyone out there reading this who has any doubts about SCAL..... GET IT!!

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

My first Tilly card, this was a replacement for the card she eat!!




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 FOUND IT MUM!

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!!
