i made this to try and get my mojo back and to take my mind off of things used a digistamp image from the pamela west volume 2 cd rom ran a piece of card through the cuttlebug backing paper from a cd rom and some glitter paper i had then used an embellishment on the top of the tree and some sticky gems along the tree

my first attempt

this is my first attempt at using embossing paste so think i need to improve and practice a bit.

i used a robin brass stencil, the backing paper was a freebie from a magazine i then embossed the mirri card with the holly embossing folder and used a bit of dark green card to matt

Thank you card

This is the thank you card I have made to send to the vets, as they were so kind and understanding when I had to have them come to the house on Monday afternoon this week to put my darling boy Peter to sleep, they sent me a condolence card and a packet of Forget Me Not seeds so felt I had to do this for them.

I used the Joanna Sheen cd rom Pamela West for the images and then just a simple mat and layering.

some more embossed images

these are some more of the embossed images by the craft too folders i bought from art of craft

embossing folders

i recently bought some embossing folders from art of craft which are compatible with the cuttlebug this morning i have been playing and this is just 2 of the many that i bought so thought i would share them with you i thought the swirly frame would be lovely to just put a simple embellishment in and the christmas tree is so different from the sizzix one so again can ring the changes

Another Thank You card

This is another thank you card I have made for another kind neighbour who went and got my mother's medication after the pharmacy failed to deliver as promised. I used the image from Crafters Companion Popcorn Bear CD rom

one of my neighbours very kindly cleared my drive of snow without letting me know he was going to do it which i thought was a lovely gesture so i have made this card as a thank you to him
