Funky Flower

I managed to have a crafty few moments last night although I only had about 10 / 15 mins.  I thought id try printing a few things and after screaming at the printer for quite a while I created this:

 It is quite a simple card but think its still effective. What do you think?

Barney The Looney

I know this isn't craft information but I couldn't resist putting these pictures on here.  Barney is my Mum and Dad's dog and I helped pick the little blighter out and he's gone from this (butter wouldn't melt):

Now he looks like this:
(Cone on head as he has only just had his manhood taken away). Needless to say he is feeling a bit sorry for himself although is still very much a cunning fellow.

New Embossing Folder Card

I've had a play around with my new embossing folders and this is one of the cards I created. The embossing folder used for this card was called Cuttlebug - Mesh.  I was very impressed with the effect and will definitely be using it on some of my other crafty creations.

The small flowers on the card are from a stamp cutter that I have and the bigger flower in the circle is a flower from a die cut.  Both of these I have layered up using contrasting colours to add more depth.

Butterfly Crazy

As we are coming into Spring now (at long last it has been a longgggg Winter) I have bought myself a great Cuttlebug Butterfly die with 4 embossing folders.
See link for my new purchase: Provo Craft Cuttlebug A2 Tag Team Dies, Butterflies, 4 Styles

I have been experimenting quite a lot already and here are two of my creations:

I am hoping to have a crafty afternoon tomorrow so you will probably get to see more of my Butterfly Craze.

Crazy Craft Show Ahead

I was searching the Internet again and came across a craft show near me.  As I am fairly new to the crafty scene I thought this would be a great place to find out about new products and also how to use them.  Here's a link below in case anyone fancies a day out full of craft things.

If anyone does go I hope you have a great time and you never know might see you there.

Pink Crafty Afternoon

Here is one of my newer creations am loving pink at the moment. I must say I am totally hocked on card making I find myself looking on so many different websites and thinking erm..... I could use one of them. On another note I must have been a very good girl as my lovely boyfriend bought me 4 (yes 4 new embossing folders) and at present I am experimenting with them.  I will do a post showing the fancy things I create with them.  

Here is a site I recently came across and find them to be great on price and they have a good range of stuff:

Hope some of you find this to be handy.

My First Crafty Valentines Day.

Here is a pic of the card I created for my Dad to give to my Mum for Valentines Day.  My Mum was really pleased with it and my Dad was really made up as he was out of the dog house for a day or two LOL.

Also below is a pic of the card I created for the love of my life (Dan).
