More Guy Cards



I've been a bit quiet here because I have been busy.
I had to prepare for a bazaar and then bf had a visit
from his daughter and we traveled to Jerusalem for
a few days. We stayed at a lovely boutique hotel
called Mount Zion, which has beautiful views
over the Old City.   

Hooray, I won first prize on Sami Stamps Challenges
with the 'green' challenge, so now I can have some
fun choosing some digital images.  I really love her
style of drawing.

Do visit Pattie's Creations Challenge (I am on one
of her DT's) - the latest challenge is "Fancy Folds'
and the DT have done some lovely cards for this
challenge.

Following are some of the guy cards I have made
recently.  I am not writing any details on them of
materials used, but if anyone has a question, I shall
be only too happy to answer them. The last two
images are from CD's I have. The sailing boat I
have is on a decoupage sheet, but I don't have
the name of the artist. (Now I note all the artists).

I haven't entered any challenges lately as I've been
busy getting ready for a Crafts Fair, but there are
only so many cards that I need.

Use Some Green, and her DT have made some lovely

Here is my card for this challenge.  I just love Sami's

A Quick And Easy Birthday Card



This card couldn't be any easier or quicker to make - I can take 
a LOT of time getting a card made.  Do take a look at the blog of
Catherine Pooler - you will certainly get inspiration from there.
Now I am looking at my card, I see that I could have embossed
one of the pieces - that would have been nice too.  This design
lets you use up pieces of paper you have left over - and like me,
I'm sure you all have lots of bits and pieces!

Pattie's Creations Challenge #86 - Spots or Dots



Had laryngitis for over a week - missed a family party
for the birthday of one of my grandchildren, and couldn't
be there for my bf who is after a big back op.  But
things are looking up now, I can speak! 

Time for another challenge at Pattie's Creations. 
This card is going to my granddaughter who I
mentioned above - I shall just add her name and
age, and I hope she likes it.
