Thank You Sue

I would like to say a huge thank you to Sue from www.slumbercards.blogspot.com for giving me this award. This means a lot to me Sue so thank you so much. Sue makes great cards so pop over and take a look at her creations.

Now comes the hard part of awarding this to just 5 blogging friends. The reason this is so hard is that everyone's blogs are all just as stunning as the next. But here goes.

I would like to pass this award onto

Natalie www.nattykcards.blogspot.com

Michelle Short www.cardgrotto.blogspot.com

Tonya www.stamphappens.typepad.com

Kim www.inkypingers.blogspot.com

and last but not least Gayle at www.littlebirddesign.blogspot.com.

Many thanks Sue

Thinking of you....

I made this card with my new Changito clear stamp from stampendous. This is the same size as the wooden version of this stamp, but with the clear you have a choice of text to put in the frame. I purchased this from an American seller on ebay. Her ebay I.D is craftycarol. She has some amazing stamps and with postage this stamp cost me around £3.00.

Backing Paper - From Stash

Ribbon - Dovecraft

Flower - Prima

Coloured with Whisper and Marvy Pens.

Forever Friends

I made this card using the free stickers on the latest issue of Creativity Magazine. The Red backing paper is from The Christmas Stack from DCWV. The Green Textured card is core'dinations which I have run through my Big shot in the Baubles Cuttlebug folder and then sanded using a fine sandpaper.Backing Paper - DCWV Christmas Stack
Ribbon - Dovecraft
Oval Greeting - CWC
