Here are the snowman and reindeer poo and snowman soup and a few cards of our church, that I made last minute for the Christmas church fete. I also made some extra for work and sold them there, after the fete, and raised some more pennies for the church.
I say every year I am going to start early, but I was even later this year, it was the Monday before the Saturday of the fete that I started, what a rush, next year I WILL start earlier.
The cup graphics are from DAISIE, I added a peppermint stick and mini marshmallows. The cards - I had a picture of the church and played with it in Photoshop to look like a sketch. Most of the images on the labels are freebies from Crafters Digital Art Center, which have fantastic artists.

Wood turning
My friend asked if I would make her a card for her wood turning hubby, this is, again, what I came up with, my poor hubby planed some wood as fine as he could so I could add it to the card, my friend was over the moon with it.
I had the image off the web, decoupaged it, added some wood dust and shavings |

First step card
I was asked to make a card which had these images in, here's what I came up with. Sorry the photo isn't very good.
Ballerina
Yet another commissioned card, for a 12 year old who loves her ballet.
The image from the web, with the "12 and her name" played with in Photoshop to blend in with this beautiful image I used, as the girl in it looks so like the girl it was made for. |
This is the inside, ballerina made with Avery's Fantastic Plastic, behind her is sparkly vellum which doesn't show up here sadly. |
Bald Biker
Another commisioned card, the brief was a bald biker who always wears shorts and likes his wine, so a few images off the web, played about in Photoshop and this is what happened,
New baby girl

A start -
Here I am in blog land, I have succumbed to techie land, I just hope that I can learn how to do it and keep it up, I also hope that you will enjoy looking at my cards.
The first card is one I have done recently for my SIL, who loves her sewing and sewing machine, she was thrilled with it. I colour all my cards in Photoshop
