Parents Christmas Crads

Good evening, Hope every ones had a nice weekend, we have had a night to ourselves last night and it was bliss, had a curry and watch a film, but the best bit was the sleep in this morning, as Archie's gets up between 5 and 6 every day its bliss to to wake up naturally at 9.

I have completely forgotten to post these pics of the cards I made for both sets of parents for Christmas, didn't want to do it before I had given them the cards and then forgot.
I made them both very similar just changed the poems inside to suit them more personally.
The front ...
The first flap which held the poem ...

And the reverse of the flap which I had included another image on and then the bottom to write our message.

Making two took bloody ages and as I had left it so late ended up been a bit of a nightmare, and I quite gladly shut up the craft room over the holidays, but I seem to have recovered and have just placed a huge order at Funky Kits so will have lots of new rubber to play with soon.

Off to watch Top Gear, back tomorrow.

I,m back with another card which fits two challenges this time, I don,t normally like to mix them but wanted to do both and knew I only had time to make the one card.

The sketch is from the Just Magnolia Challenge blog

And its a colour combo over at Basic Grey Challenge blog.

And this is my card, the blue looks a lot more turquoise than pale but I hope they still let me enter.

Stamp; Magnolia (not sure which had her so long)

Papers; Basic Grey

Colouring; Pro Markers - Rose Pink, Cool Aqua, Cocoa, and Cinnamon
Flowers; Stampin Up Pretties Kit

Punches; Martha Stewart and Woodware

Not made the card for anyone in mind but need to start a stock of a few as I,m always forgetting someone till the day before and have vowed to be more organised this year, or at least try to be.

I used my new stamp which Ive been wanting to ink up since it came a couple of weeks ago.

Charisma Cardz Challenge and 1st Birthday

Happy New Year to all, Had a great xmas and surprisingly sober New Year, really enjoyed all the time with the kids and family but was in need of some crafting time, so popped over to Charisma Cardz challenge blog its their 1st Anniversary and have loads of prizes for this challenge and a great blog hop with every dt member having their own candy too.
How fab so here's my Celebration card another birthday card the colours are bad as its so dark here all day cant get a good pic.

Tilda stamped and coloured with SU inks, the papers are Basic Grey and the ribbon came on some chocs I got for xmas. Not my best card as have tried distressing the edges of everything which I think will take some practice to get right but still happy with the end card.
