Cameo card

My Something New for this card is My Paper, from The Vintage Pack I had from Craft All Day, and also the little handmade crocheted Doily that is behind the Cameo. The Cameo was made for me by Ulina as part of her scrumptious Pay It Forward gift. My card easel is new too....though that doesn't really count, it's just cute and dinky and I like it lol. My seam binding is ribbon girl...dyed with promarker to match.

A close up of My Doily and Ulina's handmade fimo Cameo....beautiful isn't she. 

 I now have the mold myself (moldmuse), so will make myself some.

My gems are stash. Now here's a question for you, how on earth did I manage to empty my pot of flatback gems all over my laptop.....a better question is....How on Earth am I going to remove the couple that wriggled their way under my keyboard..Yikkes.

Edited. I won for this with Creative Harmony Bookmark Challenge. Yippee!!

B is for Baptism

My card is for a friend in Ireland who was just Baptised. The red frame, is cut out using two die's put through together, I saw this on Catered Crop....sadly  it looks like just a mat in this scan. The challenge is to use the letter B, so I have Baptism, Bow and bling. My papers are both Kay & Co, the green quilted is a 6 x 6 from a Variety Pack I had from Craft All Day. It's a beautiful selection of papers from different Design Pads. The ribbon is also from there. My bling and cardstock are stash. 

I thought this image by Mo is perfect for a Man's card - I struggle so much with those lol. 

Colourants are ProMarkers. I did put shading on his skin, just been washed out in the picture.

Birds In Her Hair Ribbon Bookmark

Another project for my Daughter. She's not well enough to read now, so until she is this will hang in her room for her. She paid for this digi (and another in the set) from A Day For Daisies, Birds In My Hair Series. She also bought the mold that the fimo flower is made from....for my recent Anniversary. 

I made this to join in with Linda's Bookmark Challenge at Creative Harmony. You can make either a ribbon bookmark or a corner bookmark - for which you'll find a tutorial at SplitCoastStampers here.

The recipe is Pink, Black (or grey) and white; and include a ribbon or a bow.

Not to be missed Candy at Cards By America

Now this was a candy I couldn't pass up, not only all those lovely House Mouse Stamps...but lots of lovely embellishments too. Here to enter. 

Candy from Sarah Wright Designs

Sarah is offering this cute set of mini stamps on her blog at the moment as her monthly mini candy for followers. Well worth popping over and becoming a follower. Sarah also has a new shop called Craft All Day....perfect name isn't it. Just now she has some lovely 6 x 6 paper variety packs from  £3.50. I'm looking forward to receiving mine soon. 

My Heart Pieces

The image I used for the above plaque is called Nature, is by my blog buddy Priyanka and can be found in her new digi store here. She has a new challenge blog starting 15th May. There is just three days left to enter her DT call (ends 30th April). Click here for details. 

 I made this for my daughter who (some of you may know) has been bedridden for three years now. She's improved a little, at least she can talk more, and laugh now. She enjoys listening to the birds singing outside, but as she can rarely catch sight of any I am gradually filling her room with them lol. I have made some with needle felting, and I print pictures out for her. I recently saw a picture of an Eastern Bluebird on Dorcas' blog and knew my daughter would love them.

 I used 'artistic licence' and made the birds into Eastern Bluebirds, despite knowing they were a little on the small side really. She decided she'd like them hanging from the screen around her bed, so I punched a hole in the top and added a ribbon.

I used Lyra Pencils to colour, my cardstock and gems are stash.

House Mouse Anything Goes

It's our anniversary today, this is the card for my hubby.  I do love how cute these little house mouses are, and there is always one perfect for any (or many) occasions. I used my Lyra Pencils again, enjoying them more and more each time. I scored my cardstock in a double lattice pattern...I've seen it on a few cards around blogland recently. My image is matted onto a satin silver card, and the square behind is a shimmer pearl, also matted onto the satin silver. I have added a silver bead to the crossovers on the lattice.

A Close up just because these little fellas are so adorable.

Popped up with lace and pearls

My last free standing pop up for a while...maybe lol, I do find this style a lot of fun to make. 

My Image is from Card Mad Fairy, I added On Your Baptism in Word. I used a little shimmery chalks to colour the image. I think the paper lace is a from a cuttlebug set..I'll have to check. 

 I decorated with panels of embossed (cuttlebug) folder and papers from Papermania...I think the ribbons are from them too. My pearls are from my jewelry stash

Altered Gift Box

This was a small jewelry box that I'd had for many years. I made it for the bag charm - previous post. I embossed card and rubbed the raised edges with a bronze ink pad. The 'corner' and 'photo frame' are cut out of a bronze craft sheet. I've had it many years and bought from a little craft shop, no idea of the make, but it's a very thin and soft metal sheet. My photo is from a sheet I bought from Crafts U Print, I glazed over it.

 Sorry the photo's are of such poor quality..took them with my mobile (cell phone)

 Inside of box is also lined with embossed card.
