Both Cards:

Card 1
Background paper - check printed from Chris Warner CD

Beads, Sequins and thread from crafting stash
Oval Nestie & Oval Scalloped nestie
Card 2

Embossed Flower in 2 corners - Fiskars Embossing board
Ribbon, beads & Sequins from my stash.

I really like this stamp, it's so cute! So true that a "wee nap" is just the business after a party to recharge the batteries. I must really use this stamp more, probably only made these 2 cards with it. Will have to have a look at older photos to see!

Mothers Day 2010


My First Easel Card!


Don't think the photo's really give it justice, but looking back at it, the card - mainly the base, could have had more decoration.


I found a template for the Apron, and printed on coloured paper from my stash. Cut this out, and mounted on to the easel card. Added an pocket, which I raised with foam pads. White coated wire was used to make the cord round the neck as this held the shape, and ribbon for the two tiers. Also wire to make a whisk, and I cut out a wooden spoon from brown card. I used paper punch, and border punch, and gems to embelish the card. Sentiment computer generated.
