gone fishing

A change of card shape today, used an A6 blank for this fishing themed card.
Its actually supposed to be a pyramid topper, but I only used the main image.

Mothering sunday

My mum suddenly passed away in 1990, when I was just 18, I'm now 41 & 3/4's (to be precise!), that sort of math just sucks.
I'm not going to get all maudlin' - this is a just a nice little scrapbook page of a newly found photo of me as a babe in the arms of my mum, (dad was and still is camera-shy). I was born in April so this must have been the late(ish) summer wedding of my dad's youngest brother.

100% digital, using Daisy Trails "Butterfly Garden" kit, its such a dreamy and serene kit.

I haven't used Craft Artist to (properly) design anything for months, possibly a year. So when I spotted a digital challenge blog, I decided to blow the cobwebs off the old thing.
I designed this to be used as a tag on a birthday card, fairly basic design, but will be embellished when I make the card up.

fiddle diddle

Last year on a visit to Chatsworth, I bought two postcards, meaning to use them as toppers for birthday cards, one was of a veiled lady (statue) and this one, which is a photo of a door in one of the majestic rooms, its actually a 'trompe d'oiel' of a violin. When you're stood in the room you still have no inkling that the violin isn't real.
As I was doing a 5ish x 5ish card, I chopped the sentiment up.

Sweet tweets

Using Hot off the Press "Sweet tweets" design pack, put this card together for February's partner swap over at card exchange uk (yahoo group).

Spring has sprung

A commission card done for one of my Uncle's, also tied in the theme for cardz4guyz  weekly challenge, I love this image, its so serene and I don't think it needs a very embellished card so I kept it simple, printed a few off and I'm going to have a go with water colour pencils, also got an idea for some sort of  wall hanging - totally enamoured with this stamp!
