Boys Birthday cards

So my daughter was complaining the other day that she needed some more cards from my stash........freebies of course!  But she also specified that she required some boys cards, as she was getting more occasions to use them now that Jacob is getting older and attending birthday parties.

well as it happened I had very few cards to suit her criteria, but I had recently purchased some digi stamps from Sassy Cheryl's website which I had every intention of using.  Plus I had some stamps from Lili of the valley which I wanted to use.  So with a relatively free weekend and some cardmaking  enthusiasm at the ready I created the following.

Decoupage Birthday card

Really needed to get a better picture of this card.  But all that aside this has been done in three layers and put onto the circle.  The picture is a digi stamp from http://www.sassycherylsstamps.com/ I thought it was really cute and ideal for boys and their grams alike.

Mainly blue chunkies

Made two chunkies so far for the mainly blue swap. Need to get moving and complete the others so I can get them posted off to. New Zealand

Making chunkie a

Well I joined a swop on atcsforall for blue chunkies. Am quite pleased with the end results and have sent them off to the hostess. Hopefully they will be well received when they get sent out.
Have decorated the backs as well, pictures 2 and 5 are backs, the others are all fronts.

Sparkles galore

Well I have been a busy bee playing with beads and wire, making earrings, necklaces and a couple of rings. I'm really pleased with the final results, might even try making some more.

It's all a great big learning curve

Well after numerous attempts to set up using my iPod I had to resort to commandeering hubby's iPad to actually get blog set up and working. Now I am attempting to post via my iPod - the proof of my success is as they say in the pudding!!
