Oh, hello Mojo!!

Wow - well it really shows how long its been since I posted something.... blogger is COMPLETELY different!! It took me about 5 minutes to find the 'write new post' button! :)

Anyway,  I have been in a total mojo-less pit for the past couple of months and I've ground to a complete halt with my crafting, there's lots of reasons, which i wont go into, but I'm hoping that my mojo is back now!! I had a last minute order for a card on Sunday so here's hoping the pressure will give me the kick up the bum I need!!!

Since my last post I have made a couple of cards;
with some inspirational help from a Facebook friend I created some 'Super' cards!! :)

superhero themed cards

...a card for a friend to let her know I was thinking of her:

Tim Holtz ticket, butterflies coloured with alcohol inks

...a Baptism card with beautiful 3d roses on it:

I used sizzix framelits for the sentiment and backing

...a few birthday cards for the future inlaws:

Tim Holtz style rosettes

Simple layered butterfly punches

And a steampunk mothers day card!!

Kenny K digi Stamp

AND I have been designing my own wedding stationary!! i never knew just how creative you could be using Microsoft Word!! I have to reccommend a few websites for free fonts - without these sites, my wedding stationary would have been in Comic Sans!!! lol!!! check them out: http://www.dafont.com/ and http://www.1001freefonts.com/ are FAB!! LOADS of different fonts to choose from, great for cardmaking and scrapbooking too!

Looking back over the preview of this post, I can see that I have been quite busy, I guess sometimes it takes seeing everything that you have done in a list like this to see that you have achieved quite alot!! OK, feeling positive again and I think I feel my Mojo returning... I'm going to go and crack on with this Birthday card order.

Big Love, Speak soon.

Babies, babies, everywhere!

Hey peeps - thankyou to everyone who is following my blog so far!

today I have been mostly working on a baby card for a customer. Have done a few baby cards recently - there has gotta be a baby boom going on! - but all the cards I have done have been for boys, so you can imagine how I squealed in excitement at the thought of using pinks and  lace and flowers!!!

Its finished, well, as finished as it can be...the blooming printer decided to run out of ink so I still have to print out the baby's name, birth date and weight for the frame on the right, but its as finished as I can get it for the moment :)

I went for a trifold card (one of my favs to make) in a baby pink using cream card to stamp on. took a chance on rounding the corners off - 1st time I have done this on ALL the corners...glad I did. think it gives a softer look to the card.

(they are a bit dark - my craft room light is AWFUL!!!)

I incorporated some Tim Holtz idea-ology tickets as the customer wanted the card to complement a present they had bought - a cute 'admits one to the world' framed ticket from notonthehighstreet.com.

I got to use my Martha Stewart edge punch too - LOVE IT!!!! soooooooo pretty! Roll on next payday...got my eye on the double loop round the page set! lol

oooooo - incase anyone is wondering... the panel in the middle - the white tab with the ribbon comes out and unfolds to give a nice 'secret' area to write your message :)

well, I think I'm going to go and rest my weary eyes now. Thanks for reading my ramble guys! 

speak soon.xxx
