Well, after a manic time at work ending with the flu to keep me in my bed for a week, I have finally managed a bit of crafting. Though it hasn't stopped me exercising my credit card on more crafty essentials!

It is my hubbys birthday on the 28th so had to make him a card. I thought I would use the sketch from the CBN challenge as flu is really hard on the crafting mojo and it gave me somewhere to start.
So I would like to enter this card for the CBN challenge this week
The images are from a Hunkydory set and the other embellishments were made. I used quite a few peel off borders and corners that had been languishing in my stash for a while. I find male cards so difficult so any constructive criticism gratefully recieved.
We are going to York to see Joshy at uni and spending Rays Birthday there, so am looking forward to that.
Hope he likes the card anyway!

Perfect Pansies

Hi, as you may noticed I never managed to post my wedding card, had a few tries but it is taking me some time to get the hang of it!
I need my son back from uni to help with this kind of thing, I'm sure some of you know what I mean. lol.
I am (hopefully) posting some birthday cards I have made, that came out rather well.

I used a stamped image and coloured with promakers, colouring in is just as enjoyable as it was when I was a child if not more so as now I get to create the pics to colour in too!
For the 2nd I added a border made with my Martha Stewart butterfly border punch.
I seem to have got the hang of this so may have a go at the CBN challenge- watch this space. Aileen xx

Lost Blog

Well I am so useless at all this technology, I started  blog page then couldn't find it!!
Have been making some wedding cards for friends at work and am quite pleased with the results, will post one of them. I have recycled some parts of another card as well as my own design elements such as plaited ribbons.
Would love to know what you think xx
