*Roses & Ruffles*

I saw a lovely card on Clare's Creations blog where she did the paper ruffles, she has a tutorial too.  This is my version.  I still need lots of practice on the ruffles.

A closer view.

I added a paper bow edged with distress ink.

Check here for my tutorial on how to make the bow.

Thanks for visiting today, I hope you'll come back soon.

WOYWW

It's not too messy today - it was earlier, but I tidied up before I started on the ruffle card. I can't start something new when there's stuff all over the place.

See my new pink ATG gun?  Well, you can't really miss it, can you?  I had seen them on videos etc., but thought because of their size they would be pretty awkward to use.  I was wrong, they are great to use. I love it!  Something else that I really like is the Tombow glue in the little green & white container. Boy, does that stuff stick!  The card I'm working on now is a ruffle card.  I'm waiting for the last ruffle to dry before I can finish it.

That's all for now friends, I should go and start on supper, then I can watch Corrie Street.  Anybody out there who's a Corrie fan?  It's really exciting right now, don't want to miss it.

Have a super day...

 

*Tissue Time 2*

Still on the subject of  colds & flu,  here's a cute idea that I found  on this Youtube video

Just the right size to hold a personal size pkg. of tissues, it would make a perfect little gift for someone who's feeling under the weather.

A pink one

The flower was cut out with my Cricut *Sophisticated* cartridge.

I then added glue to the edges and sprinkled clear microbeads on.  In real life they shine, very pretty.  I popped them up on foam pads and added a pink pearl.

That's all for now, hope you'll have a look around before you go, there's lots to see.

Till next time.....

  

*Tissue Time*

Judging by the number of people around here that are sick with colds and the 'flu, (including me) it certainly is *tissue time*.

I saw a similar card when I was blog hopping & thought, *what a cute idea* plus I had the perfect sentiment (TLC) saved on my computer. Sorry, can't remember where the *get well soon*  sentiment came from.

It is a very easy & quick card to make.

*Snow Fun*

Here's my winter version of an easel/step card.

The girl & snowman are from *Fred She Said*, the snowboarder boy is from *Sliekje's* digital stamps.  The trees, snow scene, snowflakes & sign are free downloads found on the internet and the sentiments are from either Gingers or TLC (links on the right) I used my Copics to colour the images.

Thanks for stopping by today & hope you enjoy checking out my other posts....there's lots to see.

Bye for now....

Congratulations!

 I made this wedding card for friends who were married yesterday.  

I know I said I was going to make a winter scene card, but I suddenly remembered that I had a wedding card to make, so will do the winter one next.

This design is not my own idea, I saw it on Splitcoast, and the lady had a link to the original.  You should check out her blog, she does absolutely beautiful work.
The front is layered with white & gold card stock, top layer embossed with Cuttleug *Divine Swirl*.  Butterfly & leaves are M.S. punches.  The flowers & little swirly thingies in the flowers are from my Cricut *Sophisticated* cartridge.  I inked the flower edges with lavender ink, burnished, layered and finished off with a tiny pearl.  The sentiment is one I have saved on my computer & layered with purple & gold c/s.... hard to see on the picture.

The inside

The swirls are from my Cricut *Sophisticated* cartridge.  Flowers & leaves on the left side are punched out.  Butterflies are M.S. punches.  The pocket on the right holds a tag where I wrote my message.  Sorry but I can't remember where any of the sentiments came from, if you recognize them as your own, please let me know so that I can give you credit.

I have entered this card at Bunny Zoe's (thanks for reminder Dorcas) and *Make it Monday* link is on the right.

Thanks for visiting today, I appreciate it.

Have a lovely day!
