First up is this simple yet sweet engagement card...<br />
<br />

This card was made solely using Docraft's Forever Friends - Black and Gold CD. <br />
<br />
I also finally got a chance to play with my Humphrey's Corner freebie Christmas stamp.<br />
<br />

I coloured in using my promarkers and added some snow and sparkle to give a bit more dimension. I used one of my new nesties to cut out and emboss the picture. Now I just need some inspiration to turn it into a gorgeous card.</div>Jen xohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09598960536826245822noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1936088909174698161.post-73750049735189434832011-09-11T15:15:00.000-07:002011-09-11T15:15:10.003-07:00I'm a busy little crafter.............<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Well I've been up to my eyeballs in all things crafty since the hubby's 30th on Friday. I had my second ever craft fair on Saturday which although wasn't too busy is giving me the confidence and experience to keep going.<br />
Today I've been busy making two very special cards for a good friends mil.....<br />
<br />
This is the first one....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2xEoHLN_El2klXZAtqu36SO-V-pnW1F00Pb0Br748e8KmbdiqsBbBDH0gNT76ovS5KVdBmgQZ7m-h3eytwBZPSRjGizVyah2VXWUe-DcGBbM0W9C7r1uglGcYu-R5Ft4t24IOfBm6Tw0/s1600/022.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2xEoHLN_El2klXZAtqu36SO-V-pnW1F00Pb0Br748e8KmbdiqsBbBDH0gNT76ovS5KVdBmgQZ7m-h3eytwBZPSRjGizVyah2VXWUe-DcGBbM0W9C7r1uglGcYu-R5Ft4t24IOfBm6Tw0/s320/022.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
This was made using the papers from the new Docrafts Country Companions paper kit with embellishments from Papermania. It;s so so cute isn't it....lol<br />
<br />
The second card I just love.....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf2-hQynRrTraloS_QAPlWdiAixLLhw1XQMgVdcxipwTJUHhY0WFDtNg-KA-NcQmgLDeGo_7uOjSdu_EgrhB86E6rIyHUUaDtSDVQhT5abhVbvzVOhhVTt16PXh_SGZO6wOgK6m-6UiSo/s1600/023.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf2-hQynRrTraloS_QAPlWdiAixLLhw1XQMgVdcxipwTJUHhY0WFDtNg-KA-NcQmgLDeGo_7uOjSdu_EgrhB86E6rIyHUUaDtSDVQhT5abhVbvzVOhhVTt16PXh_SGZO6wOgK6m-6UiSo/s320/023.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
This was made using the ever gorgeous Humphrey's Corner everyday decoupage kit and using cardstock and ribbon from my stash.<br />
<br />
I've still an engagement card to make tomorrow for another family member but having a crafters block at the mo. need some sleep to get my mojo back hehehe. </div>Jen xohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09598960536826245822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1936088909174698161.post-84848622475121145012011-09-06T14:56:00.000-07:002011-09-06T14:56:56.629-07:00Finally finished!!!!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Well thanks to the footy being on tonight I got a couple of hours of happy crafting in. I finally finished the rest of my hubby's birthday cards (and yes Humphrey was used).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigAIQU-OtNSQhGCnxTmYuDlvHmQ08bWSfiWbqZyeuL049-rzIYSf4YXGehYUAaJAbLcycz8JOCekcI8NSfVwGgZoZkvLTVMIus3Y5OQmEkeid-XlRMtW5qrwsYyKHQzphrVAuMgs77Roc/s1600/007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigAIQU-OtNSQhGCnxTmYuDlvHmQ08bWSfiWbqZyeuL049-rzIYSf4YXGehYUAaJAbLcycz8JOCekcI8NSfVwGgZoZkvLTVMIus3Y5OQmEkeid-XlRMtW5qrwsYyKHQzphrVAuMgs77Roc/s320/007.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
For this scrummy little card I used backing papers from the Humphrey occasions cd and the image is from the everyday decoupage kit. The lettering I used was from the Forever Friends Best of Days collection.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8-Rl6ZAtCza34mFmFbo_vP3XDzz4uBQa2mNV7nBEkpcGDonvBFDUo9U2IX4b8yelEex9WDosYojiFJmUIfvuKozPxTKapbO1CRgop2osB-mxJB9OC914CxRw_snK5SA_tce52KKTS-ro/s1600/008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8-Rl6ZAtCza34mFmFbo_vP3XDzz4uBQa2mNV7nBEkpcGDonvBFDUo9U2IX4b8yelEex9WDosYojiFJmUIfvuKozPxTKapbO1CRgop2osB-mxJB9OC914CxRw_snK5SA_tce52KKTS-ro/s320/008.JPG" width="239" /></a></div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I coloured in the image with my promarkers and mounted onto die cut centura pearl and mirri scalloped circles.

I figure a good range will work better at the craft fairs giving people a bit of choice.<br />

I'm basically using this to keep a record of how my cardmaking is progressing (hopefully).<br />
This week is going to be a busy one as I have a craft fair on Saturday and I need to prepare. I always worry that I won't have enough stock with me. That and it is my amazing hubby's 30th birthday on Friday so need to get my butt into gear.<br />
Anyways last night I used my Humphrey stamps with my promarkers for the first time. I went with green as I felt the traditional pinks, blues and yellows are overdone a bit.<br />
