Friday Sketchers 67 Sponsored by Verve Stamps

Really enjoyed doing this challenge.

Infact I did 2 cards to this sketch tonight,

One for my Mother in Law's birthday and one for Halloween.

Used old ribbon, some papers from a Forever Friends card making pack and some stickers I had in my craft box.

Also used some foamy halloween shapes I bought today.

Crafty Cards #2 Complimentary Colours

Here is my entry for the Crafty Cards challenge no 2 which was to use complimentary colours from the colour wheel.

I used yellow and purple which are 2 colours I never would've thought of using together but I think it looks really pretty.

As I am only starting out and don't have much of craft box as yet I am quite proud of this wee card. Used an old birthday present ribbon, some mesh fabric I had left over and some wee foamy hearts out of my daughters crafty things, as well as some wee sticky jewels I had.

Really enjoyed doing this and looking forward to the next challenge.

Friday Sketchers Card for Katie

Not quite up to the standard of some others who enter the competitions but I still wanted to enter as a novice.

Really enjoyed making this one for my friends mum's birthday.

Flowers and Stamps

Made this birthday card for my aunt's birthday last week.

I was quite proud of it, especially since it was made from all old bits and bobs from my craft box.

Using wee ribbons cut from old nighties etc, patterns from old cards/gift bags, and stamps I have recently bought!

Whatd'ya think?

Macks Magical Mirrors

Started trying this craft out for friends and family, decorating mirrors in a personalised way and it went down a treat, particularly with new babies and young kids.

Trying it out as a wee business idea now too. http://www.macksmagicalmirrors.webs.com/

I really love this craft as it's so cute starting out with something plain and ending up with a truly perfectly personal gift!

Balloon Cards - Simple but Effective

As a young girl I was nicknamed "Hally" as in "Hallmark" as I sent cards for EVERYTHING!

I just love cards, I love buying them, recieving them, and now I love making them too! I just think it's such a lovely way to send a message.

I have started doing these balloon cards for all occasions as they are simple and quick to make but quite effective I think. I made this one for an online friend's LO's 1st Birthday when we did a "secret birthday" club.
