A New Home

Afternoon. I recently took my box of cards into work to see if I could sell some of the huge pile that had suddenly developed lol ( with a donation being made to Macmillan from each card of course) and I'm doing well selling them so far, but I have also had a few orders too... Here is one of them... I can't believe I didn't have a single new home card in the box

Congratulations

Morning... Early post from me today with a card I made late last night for a last minute order.  I used the sketch from the new challenge CAS(E) This Sketch... I'm really loving making my CAS cards at the moment... I find them most satisfying and have a lot of requests for cards without images so these are perfect!.  I'm really glad there are more challenges for this type of card appearing. Here is my creation...

Sorry the photo is a little blurry... really didn't look that bad at 11pm last night lol...

Bouncing to Oz

Well I don't get to make many Bon Voyage cards, but a colleague of mine is emigrating to Oz next week so this was a perfect opportunity....

The kangaroo was hand drawn following a how to draw cartoon characters tutorial ... I then traced round the shape, cut out in kraft and shaded with flex-markers.... I've also used a fab letter die from Tim Holtz sizzix range... The map was off google images and I simply distressed it..

Inspiration:
CAS-ual Fridays: #75 



Ok... I'll be back tomorrow for a new Sketch Saturday... Have a great Friday...

What A Winter!

Well... no LIM last week, but I'm making up for it this week as I managed a little mid week crafting which hasn't happened for quite a few weeks now...  Anyhow, when i was sorting out stash I found about a gazillion card blanks so decided that I would use a DL one for the first time in about 3 years!... There were once my favourite, but with promarkers taken over they did not always fit in with designs and sketches... when I found this stamp in the draw I knew it was perfect.... Ok so enough waffling... here it is....
