Also made a first birthday card which I will probably duplicate as know quite a few coming up in the next year! Thinking of giving some cards as a little extra pressie for Christmas, we'll see if I get time :) I've made some very quick cards from my baby to her Uncles, Pops etc but haven't taken pictures.<br />

So I used a design I had done before... reason i've been missing so long is I felt really sick for quite a while and packed all my card making things away. Found out I was pregnant! Hoping now to get back into it before baby arrives - due 8th June! :) x<br />

Both cards were for my Aunties and just love how they turned out :) I especially like the flowery paper and looks like I forgot to add a button on the second card - oops. Do you like how I'm holding the card and having the photo taken just as I'm about to meet her - lol - my mum dropped her phone after taking the pic - but it was fine after she put it back together. At least it was in the daylight for once, second picture was a bit dark though - TFL! x<br />

It's my little brothers birthday today - Happy Birthday Seanie! I made him this card over the weekend - you can see it was quite late as lack of light! Both cards were made for <a href="http://caardvarks.blogspot.com/2010/09/clean-simple.html">Caardvarks - Clean and simple challenge.</a> I wanted to make a really simple kraft card for the CAS challenge but haven't got any so tried something different using tags - TFL!<br />

<br />
I used paper from K&Company cut to size and added a cream coloured strip which I had stamped with a sentiment. I used my sewing machine to zigzag stitch along both sides of the strip of paper. After fixing the green paper to the butterfly paper with double sided tape (just along the bottom edge as the machine doesn't like sticky tape!), I stitched all around the edge of the butterfly paper which included going over the green piece.<br />

I stamped thank you under the ribbon. I then created a pocket on the reverse with two pieces of the same colour card buy sewing them together along 3 edges and then sticking them with double sided tape to the back of the die cut. <br />

They are both using images from <a href="http://www.meljensdesigns.com/">Meljen's Designs</a> which are perfect for kids cards as they are just so adorable!<br />

It's bank holiday weekend and the first one my husband has had off work in ages. On Friday night his mum came over for dinner and a glass of wine. Yesterday I had my hair cut first thing and then looked for new glasses in town. My Mum came in to town to help me decide and we stopped off for a coffee. Also we went for a lovely walk at Delpre Abbey with the dogs and met our friends Louisa and Craig, their dog and baby Max. It's been tipping it down with rain all week so was nice to have some sunshine! Sat down to have a coffee and it started to rain, so had to give that a miss and have planned to go for a pub lunch tomorrow with them! So today we are having a chill day, with the fire going (not sure why i'm chilly) I'm attemping to make cards while Jon sorts a nice roast dinner for us.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Anyway here's my first card, which I have entered in <a href="http://meljensdesignsdt.blogspot.com/2010/08/challenge-22.html">Meljens Designs Challenge#22</a>, it's very simple but hopefully this will get me making some more! So I'm off to try - Enjoy your weekend!</div><br />

Had a good clean up of all my crafty things so am more organised, well as much as I can be on a small table in the living room. I was day dreaming earlier about clearing out our spare room and making it a craft room... hmm.. well could nick some of it surely, how often do we have people staying over!?? Another day eh!laurieloouhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02250637821693972955noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-943030136833226409.post-927337918869259082010-07-31T17:55:00.001+01:002010-07-31T17:59:18.929+01:00happy 1st birthdayGot a gift this week, my mother-in-law brought round her tin of vintage buttons for me to use. Says to give her any back that I don't need - ahhh but I want them all!!! My husband asked her to :) which I thought was lovely of him. Shame I didn't have them for <a href="http://hedgehogsandladybirds.blogspot.com/2010/07/lucys-cards-challenge-12-and-challenge.html">Lucy's Button challenge</a> could have made something with a lot more on it instead of the few I entered, oh well there's always next time :)<br />
<br />
Been glued to the computer all day, not good should be making cards! Need to make some boy cards; birthday and new arrival but need some paper, so have made another little girl card while I'm thinking what to do. My printers playing up not printing certain colours even though we've just replaced the ink ahhh!<br />
<br />
Almost identical to he last one I know, but want to get ahead so I can make them for the sake of making them instead of panicing at the last minute and losing my mojo! I have coloured a few lions to make some similar cards so I have some in stock as lots of kiddies birthdays coming up!<br />

I didn't think my local craft shop Hobby Craft would do it as have looked before, but this morning I found it! I've also been reading about Copics and Promarkers and how they are similar. There's less choice of colours with promarkers, they are cheaper but cannot be refilled like Copics. But they are available in Hobby Craft and they were half price so I bought a couple of packs.<br />
<br />
Here's my first attempt. I love this cute lion - thank you Meljen Designs for this great digi freebie!<br />

I attempted to give inking edges a go, but I think my brown ink is too dark, so instead used a pastel pencil. I rescued the pencils from my parents recently, I had them when I was at school!!laurieloouhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02250637821693972955noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-943030136833226409.post-46500186132277734042010-07-19T20:20:00.002+01:002010-07-19T20:42:01.248+01:00holiday inspired<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">Been away for a week with my husband, my mother-in-law and her partner to the Isle of Wight. Lovely sunshine first two days, sat out and had a bbq. Rest of the week was on and off rain. Just a few pics of us in a place called Godshill (I always forget to take photos when I'm anywhere and only using my phone). Had to have a cream tea while we were there - was very yummy!</div><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Been making little notecards for Louisa to give as thank you notes and to include baby's birth details on the back. Had printer problems, gaps in the printing, not taking paper, running out of paper and now out of ink - ahhh! My printer won't let me run the cleaning program to fix the gaps in the printing until I replace the ink, need to get to the shops! Made what I can and had to go with the really basic option, so may be too plain?! I'm trying not to have any dimention so they won't have to pay lots on postage. May make a few different ones if I can get the printer to work.</div>laurieloouhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02250637821693972955noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-943030136833226409.post-45939869915145915272010-06-26T11:40:00.003+01:002010-06-27T11:51:17.440+01:00wedding card<div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">After cutting the paper to size, I used the sewing machine to make a border around the edge of the pattered paper and pulled through the ends to make it tidy. Then arranged the self adhesive letters onto the paper. Next threaded the buttons and used glue dots to fix, also used these to stick on the ribbon bow. Finally stuck the gems to top and bottom corners and then fixed the whole thing to the front of the card with double sided tape.</div><br />
