my daughter decided that she didnt want to go trick or treating as a cat so we tried a few other things and this is what she has set her heart on now. it is quite easy and quick to do which is a bonus.
shame though my sons wont have his done.not even sure if he will even get dressed into his costume yet

this is me and my hubs off to the helloween ball. i know a witch how original but i did do the spiderweb on the side of my face all by myself. it was quite easy suprisingly. had an absolute blast at the ball.
i had so much fun doing ians make up again although i do need to speed up slightly as it took me about 30 mins to do it. we also bought some green hairspray to complete the look

my cousin has just had a baby girl and i wanted to make her something a little different than the usual baby card.i wanted something that she would hopefully keep. i designed this from an idea that i had seen in one of my card magazines and modified it to how i wanted it

i also made he a nappy cake photos of which a cannot find at the moment i definatly took some just not sure where i have uploaded them to. when i find them i will add them

sorry but again the pictures are not very good it was a bit difficult to hold and take the photo at tthe same time

50th Birthday



I made this for my aunt who had requested a pink grown up girlie 50th Birthday Card. I rather liked it as it was different to anything i had made at the time. unfortunately my aunt didn't like it as she said it wasn't big enough

these are the cards which we made for my sons birthday. he is very into toy story at the moment so me and my daughter decided on that theme.

Front of the card i have made for my nephews birthday
using crafters companions cd's

my first attempt at a stubby diamond card, and i am quite pleased with the
outcome, i found this design suprisingly easy and couldn't wait to make some more
so i used a similar design for my hubbys valentines card, which i will photograph and put on later

i love this style of card i think it is so easy and looks great, this is one of an order for
a friend. used kim and co paper flowers and a random backing paper i had lying
around
