come over all pink

This is the second of my cards from yesterday, I love this one - lots of lovely pink and sparkle lol. I got to use my favourite 'Blush' papers again too. The stamp was a freebie from Bugaboo, which is great for the charity card, hopefully I'll have chance to get more made for next October too.

Right got to go through all my sunset photos and pick which ones to get put onto canvas for my mum - argh hundreds of them to go through lol  and then hopefully going to try and get some more cards finished XOX

Do we really need Mondays?

Argh been one of those days, do we really need mondays? they always seem to be a nightmare and this one was a particularly bad one :S and now got to try and motivate myself to get up and get some cards done that have been ordered, so not in the mood just want to get into bed in my jammies and put on a couple of good chick flicks, but going to have to get my butt into gear.

So for now here is another of Saturday's cards... this is another teal card for Sue's appeal for Ovarian Cancer Research, I was hoping to get another couple done but I'm not sure if time is going to allow it. I'm quite please with this one, though I think I'm going to have to have a go of making it in a different colour - teal isn't really my colour - it definitely needs pink lol.

Here's a close up of Nikki's uber-glittery dress, how stunning, complete with matching glittery shoes and a smidge of sparkly eye-shadow

Teal Card For Charity

Yay today actually turned into quite a productive day - must have been the Maccy's Breakfast to start lol. I also I finally found a really cute house stamp and that arrived today - not made a card with it yet but got it stamped and coloured in ready.

Anyways this was the first card that I made today, this was made for Sue Upson at 'I can't draw but I can do this', she has an appeal on her blog asking for cards based on a teal colour scheme to be donated to help raise money for Ovarian Cancer Research - I think you have until 22nd September tosend your cards, so if you can then pop over to Sue's blog and have a read and get your teal cards over to her.

Trying to get a close up of the iris-folding, the pattern was from Cardmaking and Papercraft Magazine a few months ago, been meaning to use it for ages - yay finally got round to it lol. I'd not done any iris-folding since I last made cards about 9 or 10 years ago (before I drifted over to scrapbooking) so it was a bit of a challenge, alot more fiddly than I remember lol.
