Tuesday 26th Feb

Good Morning everyone, well this morning I have already re hung the lounge curtains twice before seven am. this silly curtain rail in the bay just does not work. but I have now sorted the left hand side and will tackle the right one in a bit. I promised yesterday that I would post the pictures of the cards I made so here we go. there are four. Two have a cascade of small punched butterflies which are from a vellum type paper and thena larger die cut butterfly on a circle of glitter card. I loved the way the little butterflied all folded their wings when the were glued to the paper if I could have filmed it I would have as they looked so real. The card that I am pleased with is the white one with the branch and flowers, I cut a die cut from the middle of the card and then did a larger one frsaming it and added a die cut branch with small flowers on. then backed the appature with lilac card.
Enjoy x

New cards from this morning.  Hope you like them, thanks for taking a look.

First time

Well this is a complete first for me, venturing into the world of blogging.
I suppose I should introduce myself, my name is Deniece I am 48 years old and a married mother of two lovely grown up daughters.

I am currently not in work and have used the time to build more and more of my card stock. I love making cards and having been doing so for about ten years now. I look back on the cards that I made when I first started and think "oh god how did anyone like them" but they did. Today I make a lot of cards just for the sake of making them. I have over the last year sold the cards to friends and work collegues to help raise money for a family who live close to me whose son has the muscle wasting disease Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. These funds are to help buy him the specialist wheelchair that will make life so much more easier for him.

thid is one of my cards from this week, I used the Memorybox die twice and as you can see I tend to like simple cards rather than very fussy ones. I struggle to come up with ideas for men and boys so Girlie ones tend to take over.

 



I am hoping to just write about my card making, photography and family here, use it as an outlet and let people see my work and hopefully share in the things that I like.
