Forever Friends and sad news:(

Sadly this is to be my last DT project for the Forever Friends Blog I have been with the Blog for over 18 Months now but feel its now time to step down from the DT......

I have loved designing with these cute bears and they will take pride of place in my stamp draws, ready for me when I need them....

This weeks Challenge is ......

'Spring'

We challenge you to make a spring themed card.....

I thought these papers from DCWV (blossoms and butterflies stack) would be perfect and a few Martha Stewart large monarch butterflies punched from white card stock and coloured and shaded with promarkers....

we would like you to make your card/project using this photograph you may be inspired by the colours, textures, shapes, layout its entirely as you see it.....

I used one of my new stamps which I got in the Glitter Pot sale such a bargain......

2 chipboard zig zags and a few prima flowers finished of with white craftwork cards cardcandy coloured with promarkers (the white ones are so versatile as you can colour them any colour with your pm's or copics) and a Craftwork cards die cut sentiment these are fab too just wish I had a punch for it so I didnt have to cut it free hand when i mount them but its not too bad,

Forever Friends.... I Heart You....

This week at Forever friends we are still in a romantic mood and we would like to see hearts on your projects

This is the card I made for Ian for valentines day the images are from a printable sheet from the forever friends hallmark web site the lettering is double sided so I stuck them to the hearts and then covered them in red glitter, a bit of matting and layering and voila. Quite a simple card as Ian is not a fussy person but i'm sure he will love this...

Forever Friends anything but a card...

Its time for another fortnightly challenge at Forever Friends...

This week we have the lovely Jackie as our guest host and she has chosen the theme of not a card so.........

I made this christmas tree decoration (lol I had to hang it on my flower jar to take a decent photo!) the decoration is a die cut shape folded and glued to give the basic shape then I nestied and image (slightly off centre to fit the gems on ) and mounted it on a scalloped circle, finished with a bit of bergundy ribbon....
