Since that was posted before I went to bed I will call that yesterday and will post my grandson's 2nd birthday card here.



You cannot see it in the scan but the wings stick up a little, and the owl is shiny gold.

What fun! I bet he'll love it!

OK I can't get into Photobucket for now, so I've done the next best thing; but I hope it's OK with the mods. If not, feel free to remove this post and I'll redo it when PB lets me in!

I would like to share with you all the two gorgeous cards I received, from our very own JaneMarple, and Sue943. Both are absolutely smashing, and Jane: your beading is amazing!

You can see the whole haul here

PB is fine for me, I have just uploaded. Gald the card arrived ok.

Well my beautiful embossed card from Sue arrived today. A huge Thank You Sue you put so much into each card you make. Sad to say I have been rather busy with my 'sick' husband and have not even thought about Christmas cards so no one will be getting any from me this year.

Here's an unusual christmas card I made tonight. The front is part perspex, part cardstock, making a window to see the image on the inside of the card.

My card from Sue arrived and is just gorgeous. Ditto one from Toni which is very clever. I shall take photos at the weekend.

I got a really cute one from Toni too - love it
Love the clear one you've posted up there, Toni.
There's lots of great creations posted

here are some card sets I've been making for little gifts.

WOW They look fantastic! You have been busy!

Seeing those boxes reminded me that the other day I covered a box for a gift. A former neighbour asked me where I got my cards with 'Handcraft by *name*' printed on the back as she makes birthday cards. As she doesn't have a computer I printed some cards of various sizes with her name and then with the correct envelopes put them in an old acetate box. As the box had sticky labels which wouldn't come off I thought I would line the lid and base with plain paper the decorate the lid.

Those are lovely Copago. Were the boxes readily available?

I made them The lid is just a piece of acetate rolled around and taped to make a sleeve.

Great job, Sue!

Wow! very nice Copago. And yours is wonderful too Sue. I missed it when I posted - not sure how. You are all so talented.

Golly! I don't look in here for a little while, and just look at all the wonderful creations! Everything is beautiful, stunning

I have been busy making some Christmas gifts, but I can only post a part of one of them, as most of them consist of photos of people who might not like me posting them, made into albums or other displays.

This is the first panel of a 4-panel hanging for my niece, the only one I can show, at least until she has seen it and given me the OK to show any more.

Nice work, liz, love your polka-dot ribbon and letters. (I'm a sucker for polka dots )

Here's a LO I made recently as part of an album for one very special lady. Some of you may recognise various elements of the page:



The other pages of the album can be seen here

A parcel arrived for me this morning and there was this amazing scrapbook, absolutely gorgeous. Thank you Toni.

That is such a precious album, Toni. Alex is such a lucky child, Sue!

What a smashing jumper too!

Hehe, isn't it just?

Here's a Christmassy layout, though the colours are a little different:

After the maxi-album for Alex, I decided to go miniature, and made a neat spiral-folded album for myself.

Did anybody notice that it snowed recently???



The rest is here.

That is lovely. I am taking the album to show Vicky tomorrow.

Oh how lovely that is Toni. I just spent ages drooling at your website. You are so original.

Have fun with Vicky and Alex, Sue! Is her broken ankle better yet?

Ren, there are loads of people way more talented than I am, ... so I just copy their ideas
