Freebies.....

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a fabulous christmas and got loads of crafty goodies to play with. I promised you a third digi for you, but christmas got in the way lol.

 

I have decided to give you another 2 digi`s to play with for all your wonderful comments throughout the year and for not giving up on me when I have disappeared for a while whether it was personal or when my mojo had gone walkabout.

 

I hope you like them and look forward to seeing what you create.
Hopefully I will get some cards made before the new year,
if not I would like to wish you all a very
 Happy and Prosperous New Year

Wedding Anniversary......

Hi folks, I hope you are all keeping warm and are all prepared for christmas,  not long to go now.
You may also have noticed I have been playing and created a new header.
  I hope you like it

Thought I would pop on and show you the anniversary card I made hubby for today, 3 years married and 13 years together in total and one or two other cards as well along with the freebies I promised so here goes.

I made this using Craft Artist2 and freebies downloaded from

With a Russian Heart She has some amazing kits.

 

This one is for my granddaughter Chelsea who`s birthday is tomorrow. The main image came from Jems Designs cd called `Gorgeous`, I took it into Craft Artist2 and had a play. My next one is also for Chelsea

Yes this one was also created in Craft Artist2.

 

Now for the freebies.........

Pansies

 

I have to say this is one of my favourite drawings.

Daffodils

Just click on the images to enlarge then right click and save to your computer.

I had to include this one as it is just right for the spring when it gets here.

In my next post I will have one more freebie for you and this time it won`t be flowers.

Carnival.......

Hi folks, have you missed me............. Sorry I have not been about as my mojo completely disappeared after having a few days away in September so I thought the best thing to do was walk away for a while and get on with other things, which  also meant not visiting all your fabulous blogs ( sorry for that).

Last month Sheenagh Hulin from Jems Designs contacted me and asked if i would like to be guest designer for her brand new cd... "Enigma ". Well I jumped at the chance as I always enjoy working with their cd`s (which I have many now), and it was one way of getting my mojo back as they are so easy to use.

Jem`s Designs will be on Create & Craft Tuesday 19th November at 3.00pm with this fabulous cd, if you would like to see more fabulous creations made by the design team before the show is aired and would like to join a great bunch of girls pop on over and join their facebook page here.

Well I have to say my mojo has come back with a vengeance and christmas cards have been coming out left, right and centre lol. So my blog will be updated a bit more often from now and I will be taking more time to visit you all. I think that is enough waffle from me as hopefully you are here to see one of my samples, others will be following soon.

 

For this I have used an 8x8 white card, gold mirror card, image from Jems Designs "Enigma" folder Carnival which I printed 3 times and decoupaged the headdress and gold embossed the edges then added gems.

 

I would like to enter this into:-

Thank you
