Bella'

Hi all.I had great fun colouring in this little one,trying to get my head around the technique of colouring with pencils and sansador.
Have to keep chanting to myself to leave a white space in the center of the bits and pieces of the stamp.This was a class that Linda Dawson taught at an siopa bui,and i have been colouring like mad since.Please excuse the photo I have just realised that it is sideways,but you get the idea............philomena

Nappy card



Hi all.Here is the first nappy card that i made,I used a baby decoupage to decorate it and i think i will have to put a ribbon on there as well to finish it off.These are really cute and simple to do..........philomena

Hi all.This baby card was made using the baby glitter girls board,Fiona started us of with this board because i was just looking at it and coming up blank{Thanks Fiona}.Will show the first one i made tomorrow,i paper pieced the gigham blue to give a bit of dimension and I'm very happy with it,all i have to do now is make an insert to cover the embossing lines.Another grotty day in the west of Ireland but what else is new.Have you all seen the class lists for the GBCE,they look good and i have picked out the ones i want to do,Roll on September!!!!!!!!!!philomena

New Pendants

Hello all,I have been missing for the last while,not enough hours in the day to make cards but now that the weather is so awful i got a chance to play.Had to tidy up a bit in my room first{can not call it my studio,what should i call it}.This is the first card i made with the new pendant dies,now i have to say it felt weird to make a Christmas card in august but that is what it turned out to be and i love it.Now these are not as easy as nesties because you have to poke out all the bits from the die but wow are they fab,I'm want to get a few more made tonight and i promise i wont be gone so long again{at least not until lambing next year}........philomena
