It`s Monday again and hubby has gone off to London so I am free to craft as much as I like today :O) and the sun is shining and the horrid wind has died down at last. I spent part of yesterday looking at my cd`s and also challenge blogs and came across one for animals on Carols blog http://cmdesign-cmdesign.blogspot.com/ and this is what I have come up with in the early hours of this morning. Must admit I have made it before and liked it so much I had to do it again which is unusual for me.

Ruby Rose......

..to Mummy.     My granddaughter Ashley asked me if I could make a card for her friend Charlene who had a gorgeous baby girl about 2 months ago. She wanted a chrismas card from Ruby to mummy and this is what I have come up with, just need to find the verse to go inside now. I used a small picture of Ruby as an inset for part of the card.

The images came from
My Craft Studio - Free download
I decoupaged the centre image

Crimbo Cards..

What a week of crafting I have had, housework went out of the window lol until tomorrow when hubby is back from London. I don`t really get a chance to craft at weekends so have to make up for it during the week. These are just a handful I did today.



All the images and sentiments were set up in
My Card studio -
Magic of Christmas
Then printed straight onto the cards



Challenge 4 - Sketch..

Here we are already on Week 4 challenge over at http://craftybloggersnetwork.blogspot.com/ It only seems like yesterday when we started, where does the time go.

This is my interpretation of the sketch.

Card for Grandson

Like myself and my hubby my gorgeous grandson Ryan is an ardent Arsenal fan and I always have to incorporate them in the card. So my mind went into a whirl thinking what can I do without it looking girly. Decided to have a look at the My Craft Studio cd`s . The original picture was in blue gawd help me if I did it that colour lol. Changed the picture to red and added a larger bauble for the middle then put the text inside and also added a small image of Ryan. It took me longer to add all the circle peeloffs than it did making the image up.
I hope you like it. :O)
