Black and White


I found these "build a flower" sheets I had from ages ago, created by a craft forum buddy. Black and white on cards looks so elegant I think. I am really please with how these turned out. The flower on the Thank You card is mounted on black gloss card which is just gorgeous!

Where to start!


Last week someone asked me to make a card, fine I thought, what did you have in mind? She is mad on Fiat 500 cars says the lady...well an odd request but I've had a bash! I had no idea what Fiat 500 cards looked like, googled them and got some nice images. Here's the result, hope she likes it!

Gorgeous sunny day today, doesn't it make you feel better too.

Sunny days!


Well I woke up to a lovely sunny Thursday! Am making the most of it because the forecast is for a rainy and windy Easter. Boo. So washing out by 8am and started on housework.

The upside of a wet weekend of course is staying indoors and crafting. Was hoping to get out and about but every cloud and all that...

This week I was asked to make a couple of cards. This order stumped me for a while...I 50th birthday card for a horse loving lady. The customer wanted a jockey on a horse and "something to do with past the finishing post". Oh yes and can I have it by Wednesday (this was Monday!) Don't think this is bad for a rush job, she was very pleased with it anyway. The horse image was printed onto acetate for a bit of a different effect.
