A Wild Rose Mother's Day

Hello everyone.
What a few months I've had! I have been working on numerous commissions from Crafter's Companion, in particular, designing the two new 'Celebration' embossing boards. The actual designs on the boards all came from my original drawings (made infinitely better by a professional artist!!). I wrote the instruction book to go with it, including designing & photographing all of the projects inside. It's been a labour of love and it has been very gratifying to see something go from ideas to a product on the shelf.
Anyway, we're well into March and Mothers Day is almost upon us. I made this card using some of the latest release stamps & patterned papers from the Wild Rose Studio. If you haven't yet seen the lovely items available in this range, I recommend that you take a look!

Wild Rose Studio sketch challenge

Hi all!
I'll keep this short as I've just written a lovely long post with links, instructions details etc & accidentally lost all of it.... AARRRRGGGGHHH!!
Anyway, please check out the lovely Wild Rose Studio blog for the latest sketch and see the gorgeous enterpretations from the other DT members!! The stamps used for this card are from the Love birds stamp set, which is perfect for valentines, anniversary and any other lovey dovey cards!! & When I've stopped having a paddy, I'll go through the details of how I made this flower from punches!

Finally put the tree up!

It's late as usual, but the tree is finally decorated. Unfortunately, there's no room to put it on the floor, so it's a bit crammed!

21 with a bit of 'BLING'

Hi everyone!
I hope you're all well.
I was asked to make an extra special 21st birthday card for a girl who likes fashion. I have to say, that I am very pleased with this card- although I wouldn't make too many the same, as I've burned through a large amount of stick on gems!!!

Ok, he's such a gorgeous puppy, I have to show you all.........!!!

Puppy thank You's

Hey everyone.
As usual, I'm up to my neck in commissions. I am currently working for Michelle Marsden at Red Hot Bed alongside the projects I do for Crafter's Companion.
I thought I would share with you a set of Thank You cards I was asked to make. There is a charity that I help which trains dogs in bio-detection. They can be trained to find cancer and recognise when a diabetic needs to take their medication and give a warning, among other things. I am an emergency foster home, so I help out by looking after the puppies when the need arises. The dog I'm currently fostering is a labrador puppy called Dizzy. He is the calmest and most loving dog I have ever had and it's going to be hard seeing him go in a few days!
The local charity co-ordinator asked me to make some thank you cards using a dog image, so I naturally thought of the Wild Rose Studio puppy stamp. I used a variety of thank you stamps and some background paper from the Popcorn Bear CD ROM.
I hope she likes them!
