Using Beads On Cards

Before I got hooked on paper crafting I made jewellery and still
have LOTS of beads and seed beads, so now and again I use
some on my cards.  Beads can be stuck on with glue, used
on wire or sewn on.  This time I have threaded a few beads on
wire, put each end of wire through ribbon and paper and taped at
the back, before adding to a mat and then attaching to card.

Card Using Ready Coloured Image

I'm a Winner!  I won a challenge at Sami Stamps Challenge and
now I get to pick some beautiful stamps from her shop.

I used a ready coloured image for this card, which I don't
often do, but loved the colouring of the image and I also want
to use different types of images, other than those I normally
would. 

Lately I've made a few cards, so watch this space!

Pattie's Creations Challenge #76 - Animals



This is my last challenge card for Pattie's
Creations; I have been on the team since
last November and have enjoyed the
challenges.  Now I shall take a rest for
a while from DT's, so I'll have extra
time to take part in Pattie's and other
challenges. Thank you Pattie and Sandi
for letting me be part of the DT.

A Birthday Card For Hila



Here is the card I have made for one of my
granddaughters'  birthday. She told me she
wanted a dragon.  She also likes princesses,
so there will be a few on her scrapbook page
- when I get down to doing it!
