Made a few more cards which I am pretty pleased with and have tried to upload them but there seems to be a bit of a problem.

Sympathy card

Been sorting out turtles today and housework called ((((sigh))).

All done and made this card for sister in law who lost her mam last week.

I've also been trying out my spellbinder dies and working out how/ what to use them on lol x

Origami baby shoe

I made this from velum 😄

Been busy day trying out different cuts on my e-craft machine - just need to assemble them so I can post them in my Docraft gallery. Feel like I've not stopped yet not got anything to show for it - Dogs have been going crazy in the snow, loving it and not wanting to come in lol. The little on is finding it hard now as the snow is so deep he has to walk in the path way the big one has made - so funny to watch them. I've been playing about with origami again today also, and using different types of papers to see how they work = some good and some not so good - hahaha.

Today is Thursday and its been a bit of a confusing day to say the least. Ive been mixing up my appointments lol thought one was yesterday and its not its today - silly me- still its better to be early than late and miss it all together. I have had a bit of a productive day as far as dull tasks are concerned - you know the ones that you put off - so they are now done - all bar one - shopping, still we have got to eat lol. once thats done more time to play - i am busy cutting on my ecraft as I had a slight problem with it but it seems fine now thanks to Craftwell and Crafters Companion for their great customer service. i am one happy bunny again as I will now be albe to cut all these lovely files I have bought. I will post my creations when I have completed them. I have been looking through the gallery at Docrafts and there are some beautiful and stunning cards, there are also some amazing bags and boxes made from all different materials. plenty of inspirations to keep the creative juices flowing lol. Heres wishing you all a lovely day :) x

Birthday card

New cards

Been pottering around today with Inkscape and Trying to learn how to use it.

As valentines looming closer decided I needs to start making cards 👍.

Got my Hunkydory stash out and here's what I did xxx

Saturday was a good day, got my T-shirt from Crafters Companion, my new grey top for my e-crafter machine, which has made such a difference to my cutting files. I received my freebies from Craft Bob, which are great, another CD with lots of inspirational stuff, Beatrix Potter prints and some really lovely old fashioned toppers, well pleased. Today now being Sunday brought me my Debbie Moore Bookazine, which is full of inspirational Art Deco stuff - love it. I think now its time to actually sit and make some things lol.

Today is Friday and I'm so excited as I have received all my goodies from Pandoru - wohoo - its like Christmas all over again. I ordered 3 goody boxes, one for general craft, one for sewing and knitting and the other paper crafting/scrap-booking. I didn't know what I would be getting just the items would be related to the type of craft, and I wasn't disappointed. Each box cost me on ave £9.75 and they were well worth the money. The items are unusual and not what we can get in the UK, which is why I like Panduro. I also bought 10 Metres of Tilda fabric for £29.99, which is fantastic and cant wait to get started. So much to choose from - ooooooo dilemas hahhahah.

What was in the three boxes?? The white box is actually a storage box for 12x12 paper/card and it came with stock inside - its great : ). You still can't see the full extent of what is there as there are small craft kits, jewelry kits, fabric, embroidery prints, wool, three bags of wooden coloured beads, paint, varnish, brads, ribbon,peel offs threads, glue, glitters, embellishments,polystyrene shapes, moulds and loads more, I do believe I got my moneys worth and more. This is the Tilda fabric I bought.

Today Ive been tinkering with Origami and have made a heart box and a butterfly, however as with all first projects they are a bit rough around the edges so need to take my time. Will post pictures as soon as I have perfected them lol.

Dog all spruced after his pooch pampering

Smokey been to groomers today and looking smart - swits swoo lol

Experimented with e-crafter today, trying different paper , card , velum and acetate.

Made a card with moving parts which I will post as I am really pleased with the way it's turned out x

Another day over

Monday - strange day - eventful day and rip off day . The day started well watched create and craft and got some brill tips off Leann for ecraft machine and I spent a couple of hours cutting some intricate designs - then sat at computer got a message off cousin on Facebook to say he won on an auction site and to try it out - got ripped off for £ 40 and nothing to show for it x lesson learned 😳
Can't sleep for this bug has me coughing and back and forth to loo so having a tidy up of my craft stash and donating some to Hubbies School 👍

cough cough go away come back never lol

Well I'm into Monday morning now and this cough is so irritating, wish it would go away. My wonderful husband put together my new work station this afternoon, so I have been rearranging my room so I can do my crafting more ergonomically plus I now have another work top ((big smile)). I am so looking forward to Create and Craft today as Ive been having a few cutting issues with my craft machine and im hoping they will be giving some tips on how to correct them. I am so spoilt and I have lots of craft things to use, I cant decide what to do first. However, I do know that I have to try to stop buying for a while and use up some of the stock I have ----oooooooo but its soooooo hard as there are so many nice things. I'm sure you all know what I mean lol.

Today I am slightly under the weather with a cold and sore throat, never the less I have taken comfort in watching one of my favourite shows - Create and Craft .

I have persisted in trying to put pictures of my cards on to my members gallery at Docrafts but haven't succeeded yet, so will have to ask for some assistance :) .

The Beginning of Card Making and Crafts

I have taken to the crafting world and have been dabbling in a number of different crafts.  I still haven't made up my mind which one I prefer as depending on my mood I like them all lol.

I have made a variety of cards and I wouldnt mind some feeback on them.  So here are a few samples -more to follow ....
