OK HERE ARE THE PICTURES

It does look better in the flesh - honest! The flower looks very red but it is brown!



These 2 pictures are the best out of 7 that I took - I just couldnt get the right angles!



If I have time tomorrow I may try and get some better pictures.

I GIVE IN!!!

All for me not posting any cards for the next few days.

Here is the start of the card for the 60th birthday - bear in mind its not finished yet. I have just finished putting it together and inked up the edges. Now all i have to do is find a nice birthday verse to put inside and some small embellishments, make the box and it will be finished.



The paper is by Papermania - Silk Screened Paper Gold Ornate Metallic. I have used a 12 x 12 sheet to make the card and also some beige Bazzill Card for the accordian bit. I used the paper to cover the bazzill card on the inside. The ribbon I have had for ages and I think it really goes with the paper.



The size of the front and back cover is 11cm deep by 8.5cm wide. And the inside accordian is 10cm deep by 7.5cm wide. That gives me 4 pages to add the verse to.

The only main issue I had using this paper was that the gold rubs off!!! Dont know the reason for this - has it got to do with it being Silk Screened? Has anyone else had this problem?

FIRST OF ALL

HAPPY NEW YEAR
I cant believe its the 8th of January already and I havent posted anything since the 7th December. How bad is that?

Have been very busy here at home with Crimbo and such. Kids had a wonderful time (spoilt rotten again). This picture was taken on Christmas Eve when they were both in great moods (that doesnt happen here much!)



I have actually managed to make some cards as well - which is rare for me at the moment.



The paper is from a DCWV Paper Stack that I got at Christmas from my dad.



This card I made for the lady who owns my LCS - hope she likes it! Her birthday was today. She is such a lovely lady. If you are reading this Vicky I hope you had a wonderful day - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!



I dont know the maker of this paper but I thought it was gorgeous.

BEST BUDS

I made this card for my bestest friend Linda for her birthday which was on the 26th August (she was 34 - sshhh dont tell her I told you). Each page had a different saying on it that I printed off the computer and also primas, brads and ribbons. But sadly this is the only photo that I took of it and its not that good. The colours I used were so yummy - Chocolate and Pink - which happen to be her favourite colours at the mo! And I have to say she was over the moon with it.
