More cards...

If you are ever the lucky recipient of one of these cards, please know that they took literally hours to make, despite the fact that the book I copied them from is called "Take Ten" as in that's how many minutes it should take to make them :).

Girls Night In...

Crafting with my daughter is one of my favorite things to do in the world! Maddy and I spent last night making cards together with my new birthday supplies. We lost track of time and when we looked it was past 2am! We both decided it was because boys' cards are much harder to make. When in doubt - blame boys:). Here are some of mine...

And Maddy's...

Getting out of a muddle...

I find it tricky to get started on making cards sometimes:(. With all of the different stamps, inks, papers, scissors, etc. I seem to lose focus and end up back at the store buying more gorgeous stuff! I've decided to change my approach and start out by firstly selecting a card design to make my own version of from my favorite magazine "Take Ten." Then I am only going to take out the paper, stamps etc that I actually need for my design and put in a separate place. To get started with my new discipline I got out just some of my card-making supplies on the rug and tried to organize them a little better...where did all of this stuff come from!?

Birthday card with love in it...

Gail sent me a homemade card for my birthday. Don't you just love getting a card where some love has been put in it? In the same envelope was a store-bought card from mum and dad with some money put in it which I'm also a big fan of ;)

Maddy's bunting

The bunting for Maddy's new Big Cat bedroom came out really well although it took me 3 days to figure out how to thread my new sewing machine!
