I thought this card request was going to beat me...Medieval Wedding Card...but I'm now breathing a huge sigh of relief! Found two great sites Font Space & Dafont with the most beautiful fonts. I've painted the letters with gold Glitter & added a peel-off border & heart. I'm quite chuffed with myself...panic over!!

Football Dude

As per usual...I struggled to make a card for an Arsenal Fan. Tee! Hee! The lads in our house are Chelsea supporters so I made this under cover of darkness!!! The image is George from Charmed Cards and Crafts, coloured with PM's, decoupaged & glazed. Grass from Basic Grey with computer sentiment. Entering it at -

My Time to Craft  -Make it Manly

Darn! I spent years (at least that's what it felt like) embossing this card with hearts and the photo doesn't show them too well! Trust me...they're there alright!! I haven't got a mechanical-type embossing gadget to do the hard work for me...on my list should I win the lottery!! Blisters-aside...I did enjoy making this card for a couple celebrating their 40th Anniversary. The heart is made up of Trillions (yes! I counted them!) of weeny red beads glued onto a heart peel-off that I used as the template. It's been glazed too to make it nice & shiny & stop the buggers falling off!!

Feeling Under the Weather?

I just love this Little Land Swimmers stamp from Sassy Cheryls - it's uses are endless, from "Feeling Under the Weather" to "Birthdays" and "Hello's!",  so I'm leaving off the sentiment for now. I've decoupaged & coloured the image with Pear Leaf, Lime Green & Bright Orange ProMarkers, black glitter Sakura pens with silver glitter glue highlights. The raindrops are blue teardrop gems. This could be Spring or Summer in the UK - warm with Rain!!!

I'm a bit worried there may be competition in our house to take over my little card-making business!! These were the gorgeous Mother's Day cards I received from Sophie (left) & Oliver (right) today...brings a lump to my throat when they take the trouble to make me something. Oliver made his at school so the excess glitter is on their floor!! Alas, Soph' is a great card maker BUT a dreaful "Tidyierupperer!! I'll be finding "bits" for weeks! Love 'Em!!

Ladybug

This is my very first sketch challenge card entry, totally out of my comfort zone...but...Hay! Ho! The challenge is over at Sassy Cheryls which is also where the Country Gal Stamp came from.

ProMarkers!!

These are the other "life saving" cards I made using digital images of "George" from Charmed Cards and Crafts.

Mowing

Phew! Panic over..and saved by Charmed Cards and Crafts digital images. I had a sudden request for 5...YES 5 MENS cards (ahhhhhh!!) and 24 hours to make them. Several panic attacks later I came across these life-saving digi's from CC&C. My order was for 4 seperate children's cards to their Dad for his Birthday & a Grow'd-up one too. I used 4 different "George" images to create an idea of Dad in his different roles aroud the home, all decoupaged. (The other's will follow in a later post). Coloured with my beloved ProMarkers, papers from Basic Grey, grass clippings are green gems, computer generated sentiment.
