Need a hug

Hi all,

I have another couple of the Rachelle Ann Miller cards to show you today - again using CD1 - Kids at Play.

For this card I used Topper design 7, and teamed it with papers - Co-ordinating paper design 2 - colour 5

Co-ordinating paper design 4 - colour 5. The sentiment was printed from Sentiment design 1 & I added a border using Diesire Border Die - Lace Border 2

For this card I used Topper design 11, Co-ordinating paper design 2 - colour 6, Sentiment design 6 & added a border using Diesire Border Die - Lace Border 8.

As all the elements were printed off the CD I only needed to add a few flowers and bit or ribbon/lace to finish them off.

Thanks for popping by my blog today

Kids at Play

Hi all,

Hope you are all well, and not like me!. I have had a pretty rubbish couple of weeks health wise with a viral infection & stomach bugs. Poor Oli has also had a nasty Chest Infection which took him off his feet for a couple of weeks and Abbie's check up yesterday didn't go as well as planned - her lung function has dropped back down again and she lost weight again!!!!. On the plus side we had the most wonderful phone call at the end of March and tbh I am still in a little disbelief over it lol. Abbie's nurse had put her in to have a wish granted and we only had a phone call to say it was approved and we are being sent to Disney at the end of the year. To say we are thrilled just doesn't even cover it - I don't think I stopped crying for nearly 3 days - its fabulous to have something to look forward too after having such a miserable couple of years -  and madam is already writing her list of all the things she wants to buy!!

Anyway back to normality and I have a few cards made and not blogged so I thought I'd pop on today to show you a couple I have made using the fabulous and very lovely Rachelle Ann Miller CD Roms from Crafters Companion. I totally love all the adorable art work on these CD's and couldn't wait to make a few cards from it as soon as it popped through my letter box.

 

To make this card I printed the following from the CD - Topper design 2, Co-ordinating paper design 2 - colour 4,
Co-ordinating paper design 5 - colour 4, Sentiment design 6 the border was made using Diesire Border Die - Lace Border 4

For this card I made a Simple Stepper style card and printed off Fabric Companion design 10, Co-ordinating paper design 6- colour 3 & Sentiment design 1

As all the papers and images were printed off  CD1 - Kids at play all I had to do was add a few flowers and a cute bow to finish off - simples!.

Thanks for popping by my blog today, I have a few more cards scheduled up over the weekend to show you.

Utter Gorjuss!!!

Ok this is my very first Gorjuss Girl card!!!. The stamp was a present from a friend for my birthday and I just love her. I made the card following the fab sketch over on Sketch Saturday, although I have rotated it to fit the image.

I have used a lot of new birthday goodies on this card, Image is Sugar Nellie, papers are Basic Grey Marrakech, Scalloped border made with my new Martha Stewart punch, Poppicrafts flower, Papermania pearl brad & gem stones and Craftwork Cards oval sentiment.

I love Shopping !!! & a new venture

I have had to make a card for an 8 year old girl. Having recently had a spending spree at the Glitter pot where I purchased some fab Rachelle Ann Miller stamps I decided to use this sassy shopper image. All girls love shopping dont they!!! and I think these designs appeal to kids because of their cuteness.



The card is a gatefold with the flap being stuck down using a basic grey magnetic snaps. The papers are Basic Grey Euphoria, the flowers are a mixture of Prima & Poppicrafts with a fabulous Papermania sparkley gem in the centre. The pink gems on the LH side are Papermania and the ribbon is from the new Anitas collection (which I have had 1 spotty, & 1 stripy of every colour!!!). The sentiment is one of my own designs that I have made and am now selling on ebay.

AsIi just said above I have decided to sell the circle sentiments that I designed on Ebay. I was going to go down the stamp route but a certain company let me down and I cant afford to do them myself so for the time being this is how I am going to sell them. I am hoping someday to turn them into stamps. I have also put some images on there as well as I have had a few emails from people who dont come to the shop and would like to buy the images. I can tell you that for everyone of these packs of images or circle sentiments that are sold I will be making a donation to the CYSTIC FIBROSIS TRUST which as you know is a charity close to my own heart. I have actually been deeply disapointed with Ebay as we had a letter from the CF Trust the other day to say that we could now donate a % to them off any item sold on ebay. This was one of the factors that made my decision on where to sell these items. However after setting it all up today and chosing the CF Trust as my charity, once I got to the bottom and read the terms and conditions it states that no matter what % you chose to donate a min of £1 per item will be donated. Well I am only selling the bloomin things for 99p per pack and need to keep some to cover the costs, so that put paid to that. So in the end I have decided to do it seperately and pay them the % each month direct from my paypal account. So do pop over and have a look my user name on there is Lyndsey1044, obviously the more I sell the more money goes to the CF Trust.

Also I will just quickly mention that in May I am doing a 5 mile walk for the trust, so as soon as this snow disappears I will be putting my trainers on and getting some practice in cause believe me I am so unfit its shamefull. Oli is doing this walk with me so I cant have my 7 year old son showing me up can I !!!!. So if any of you customers of Prima Crafts see me walking round the drive looking worn out, please give me a kick up the backside and tell me to get a move on lol!!!!!!!
