Some more bits to upload at last, this pink card created using a stamped image I was sent from the Trimcraft monthly image swap - I love it! Not sure who the card is for yet but being girly it shouldnt be hard to find someone who will love it!

Hello and isnt it just lovely to see some great spring weather, got some seeds planted this morning and managed to make time to make a card! Its a wedding anniversary card for my sister - done in yellow and green so I can use it for the challenge over at Cute Bears Challenge - I had entered one of my red engagement cards - before I read the rules of it being yellow/green! Oops!

Enjoy the sun... Helen x

Hi again...

Hope you all had a good Easter and didnt eat too much chocolate....! (and why not!)... Today's creation is another engagement card, it all seems to be Engagements lately, this for a friends daughter who is having a party next week, she once saw one of my cards and said the creator of that should be paid millions!!! So why arent I a millionaire I ask. Anyway, here it is and I hope she will like this one as much, using the beautiful Penny Johnson stamp again and those lovely paper roses... This one will also be used in this weeks challenge over at

Merry Easter... my gifts to the adults in the family this year is a bottle of wine, so I wrapped it simply with tissue paper, added a bow and some jelly sweet lollies and made the 'Merry Easter' tag!

Hooray - I finished all the invitations today! Hats off to anyone who makes invitations regularly, I love making cards but variety is the spice of life I say!!! So just one Easter card today, made for hubby using an image I received in a swap arranged on Crafts By Carolyn - its such a lovely image I didnt want to overpower it with embellishments so left the card fairly simple... Have used this card to enter this weeks blog candy over at Cute Card Thursday - here's the link

Easter

Managed to do a few more Easter cards today, I'm a bit behind and disorganised this year but think I've made all the cards I need too... just a few more eggs to buy. The sheep stamped imaged came in a swap arranged on the Crafts by Carolyn forum, I had lots of different images and it was a real treat to get an envelope full in the post along with the usual bills!
