Some crafting at last.......

seem like forever since I did some crafting..... what with the wedding, having my parents here, working and addressing Christmas cards......as well as worrying about my hubby's sister in England - her melanoma has returned - this time metathesized on some of her organs and bones.  A few prayers would be appreciated as this is his 3rd sister to get cancer!!!!

I have some cards to show you that I made with my Mum a few days before the wedding... and then a couple I did recently.  I did make one for the Hero Arts Flickr group - for Pippa97 ( Marijke) but till I hear she has received it, I'll not post it.....

So to start, Mum and I got a bit of a production line going for some cards for her.... Using my favourite Starry Night cling by Hero Arts - using lots of different colours of ink and many different sentiments.....

and this one I did was inspired by a picture in a shop magazine

( visit my Flickr for details)

Today's make was a very quick and simple card made following the instructions in my latest Papercraft Essentials magazine.  It is usually a couple of months behind England where it is produced.... but it is a mag I enjoy.  This issue had some lovely papers and decoupage sheets from CraftuPrint  a website that has wonderful images, sheets etc that you can purchase.

I was pleased with the result.  It made a slightly smaller card than usual, but it looks sweet.  I added stickles and a gem and layered the centre panel on pop dots.

Oh well... I still have a number of cards to write in and address, so back to it.... plus I still have the annual Turley Family letter to write...
take care
