A New Card

It's great to be back to my crafting and I'm enjoying my new
'toys'.  My Glue Glider Pro works a treat and I am going to
get lots of use from my Nestabilities A2 Matting Basics A.

Now for my card.

Not looking forward to the long journey home but can't wait to
play with all my new crafting goods.  Mind you, where I shall put
everything is another matter!  But I do have plans for a niche,
which is behind the table where I do my crafting.  I just want a place
to put all the plastic boxes my paper, punches etc. are in, so that I
can have a nice tidy table when I need!

Here is my first post for the latest  challenge at Pattie's Creations. I
am one of the two new DT members and I am very happy to join this
great team. Challenges are bi-weekly. Do go and visit Pattie's page
and see what lovely digital stamps she makes.

Do visit the other new designer, Bettina, to see what beautiful cards she makes.

Just an update.  Nothing put up recently because I am in the States.
Was staying in Boston and had planned to go for a couple of days
to Philadelphia, but along came Hurricane Sandy and we headed
right back to MD to family, even though it took us nearly 10 hours,
with a couple of stops on the way, We also drove through heavy
rain for a while.  Luckily we weren't affected but wish those that
were all the best.

I have now joined the DT of Pattie's Creations and will soon put
up the card I made for the new team's first challenge.

Michael's had a crop from 2pm-8pm that I went to and  had a
good time there. Afterwards the four of us in the class, including
the instructeress went out to eat together. Of course I did some
shopping at Michael's and ordered a few things over the internet,
and so was able to make a card here.

Scrapbooking Again - Mum's Family

Actually got another SB page done for my family album - this time
I used a photograph of my mother with her parents and 8 siblings!
I just don't have photos of my mother as a child, so I am happy that
a cousin had this to give to me.  I never met my grandparents on
mum's side but I did meet some of her siblings, and now am in
touch with their children and grandchildren. My mother is the
one standing in front of her elder brother.

An Autumn Card

This card uses Autumn colours and gave me a chance to do a
slightly different style to my usual one.  The white part of the
two flowers I cut out whilst at a crop, so I can't say where
the punch is from.  I like the size of it, and, of course, it is
possible to colour them any colour you want.  I left them
white because otherwise the card might have been too dark
and I think they brighten the card up.

Time For Another Card

Should be out doing some exercises but am a bit under the weather
so I thought it a good time to add a couple of cards.  I love to use
Core'dinations cardstock because I can, emboss, sand etc. and I
do this often.  I have ordered more Core'dinations pads, and can't
wait to receive them.  I use the A4 size for making cards and the
smaller pads for using as mats or to cut out using Nestabilities etc.
I embossed directly onto the cardstock and then sanded the
embossing.
