IPhone to No Phone!

I did a really silly thing yesterday. I dropped my phone down the loo! UGH gross! Let me explain lol, we have a speaker system in the bathroom and I had the phone plugged in and playing. Somehow, I have no idea how, it took a dive into the loo! Luckily a clean loo lmao.

The biggest laugh was watching how fast the tech guy dropped the phone when i casually mentioned where it had been. I had cleaned it up and it was only water but it made me giggle. So I am now two weeks without my phone, that means I cannot upload any new photos until I get a new one. It also means tons of piccies when i get it back!

Anyway, here is a card I made for a friends wedding. She wanted a plain and simple invitation but after seeing some samples said she liked this one best!

I used the Fiskars Threading Water Punch to punch out the scalloped shape onto white card and silver paper. This was then layered onto a white card base. I cut out three hearts using the Cuttlebug Heart #1 and silver paper and punched the second of the hearts (topper) in white card. Themiddle plain heart was stuck on the white card.

The top layer is vellum punched again with the Fiskars punch and secured on with silver ribbon. I then stuck the top and bottom hearts on.

The inner is printed vellum held in place, again, by the ribbon.

I was really pleased at how this one turned out.

Wierded out

Ok, Now I am weirded out! I seem to have two blogs! I have no idea where the other came from but I posted the following on 13th March and it has not appeared here but on another blog.

Title: First Blog Ever!

Well, this being my first ever blog I have ever written, I am a tad excited! I am going to use it to hopefully showcase a few cards I have made.

This week being Mothers day I have been working on a number of cards for various mums in my family and post one for you to look at. I hope you like it! I am using my phone camera so it might not be the best light quality (no flash!)




Getting used to it!

Ok so it has just taken me half an hour to figure out how on earth I post here again. As you can see I made it and all (I hope) is well!

I have been rather busy with the other caps I wear this week so have not been able to make as many cards as I would like to. I have however managed to make one for my Father in Laws birthday.
I always find male cards difficult, he is not really into pretty pink bows or flowers lol. I am rather pleased with this one however.

It is a gold cardstock base with a piece of patterened paper I got out of a Create and craft box! I then embossed a corner scroll in gold embossing powder. The sentiment is made the same way by embossing in gold after layering the paper. Not too girly and not overly macho so could be used for a female card too.

This week I am going to try harder to make some new cards...oh yes I am! That is if the school, playgroup, art course, freegle and my DD let me lol.
