Naturally Gorgeous - As promised

Hi everyone

Well I'm hoping that Mr Blogger has worked and that this scheduled post publishes!!  The reason for the scheduled post is that as you read this I will be at home with my crafting buddies, Shirley, Beryl, Karen and Julia (well Julia is new to cardmaking so I will be helping her to make some cards) and hopefully she will have a fun time!  There will be plenty of laughter, chat, coffee, biscuits and lunch so a great day should be had by all!

 As promised yestereday here are another couple of cards that I've made using the Naturally Gorgeous kit from Craftwork Cards. 

On this card I've used the card blank and sentiment from the kit.  The chandelier stamps are also Craftwork Cards, but the swirl stamp and ribbon are from my stash.

 

 

 

 

Again the card and sentiment are from Craftwork Cards the swirl stamp, ribbon and ribbon slider are from my stash.

 

 

I hope you like them and agree that they are "typical" me all nice and sparkly!
