My Birthday Surprise

Morning all

Well as you know it was my birthday on Sunday and I'm so excited about the present that hubby bought me that I just had to share it with you all!!  To clarify though its for my birthday AND Christmas as these gadgets are expensive!!  So here is a picture of the box!

Well I'm so very excited - have wanted one for ages now!  I've had a little play and have printed off the manual so need to read up so that I can use it to its full potential.  For whose who don't know what it is - its a hand held portable device that stores all your Cricut cartridges on it (+ it comes with two cartridges pre-loaded that have got loads of images on them from pumpkins to hearts to scallop labels and a lovely alphabet.  It has a screen on it which allows you to design your own images from the library.  It can weld letters together, insert images inside of one another and I'm sure a lot more besides!  And being portable means I can take it with me anywhere and design away!!!

So watch this space in the future for cards where I will start using my Cricut and Gypsy a bit more!

Cold what cold - nearly forgotten about it......!!

Anglomania!

Good morning all, here are some cards I've made using the new Anglomania collection from Craftwork Cards - I confess when I first saw the collection on line I wasn't sure if I liked it - but the more I saw the more I liked it and so I placed an order.... and now actually having the paper set and die cuts I'm really lovin' em! And obviously it is very current for World Cup time! I also think in the future once the World Cup has been and gone, this collection will be great for any footie fan and so great for men's cards - and we all know how hard it is to make cards for men - LOL. Although you will see the first card is for a girl! and I think quite cool! The other two I've customised to make them for father's day too.

Another card for the Flower Power Challenge

Good afternoon everyone, a little colder today than yesterday - does that mean we've had our summer now!!!???..........

Here is another entry I've made for the Craftwork Cards Flower Power Challenge. For this one I joined up all the flowers individually - I resisted the temptation to use acetate behind them (although this would have been a lot quicker!)



I think I'm definitely in a PINK phase at the moment don't you! Must try some different colour combos soon.........

More Craftwork Card goodies Sugared Almonds

Here are a couple of cards that I made with some lovely Sugared Almonds goodies I received from Craftwork Cards - I just L-O-V-E their stuff!




Well the sun is shining and hopefully we are in for a nice day today (and hopefully a nice Sunday too - or is that hoping for too much!)

Hope you are all well.

That Embossed Tree again...

I've had another play with that lovely tree embossing folder. This time I added some lovely pink birds (these are from Paperchase - bought them at the same time as the owls....). I decided to go for brown as I think it goes really lovely with the pink birds. I created the sentiment in Word.
