New Home...

Here's a very quick card I made for my daughter and her boyfriend to give to his brother who has just moved into his own place. As I didn't get much warning I had to create something fast - this personalised door was pretty quick and easy to do.

I designed the door in Serif home office just using basic shapes. The panels were printed twice so that I could use my Scor-pal to add depth and also matt them onto gold mirri card for a bit of oomph. The letters (complete with real address) were also created in Serif Home Office. I love messing about creating little extras like these - so much fun.

Apparently Neil was over the moon with his card as was his mum who told him in no uncertain terms that he was not to throw the card away as she wanted to keep it. Isn't it lovely when people really appreciate the things we make?

As the challenge at Cute Card Thursday is new beginnings my card is perfect for their challenge and I do hope that Neil's new beginning continues to be a happy one for many years to come.

Yet more Christmas in July...

Another Christmas card - this time one using a Joanna Sheen Victorian lady image from one of her fantastic Christmas CDs. I'm sorry I can't tell you which one as I printed it some time ago and have only just got round to using it on a card.

The embossed diagonal lines on my card were made using my new scor-pal (my birthday present from Shelley). Love this gadget and the mat that fits inside is making my measuring so much more accurate. It's just great.

My card is for the challenge at the Cuttlebug Spot where like many other challenges they are celebrating Christmas in July.

Sorry about the bad photo - mirri card is dreadful to capture on camera - the spooky eye and streak of grey could be me. Don't get too scared!

Thank you so much to great friends who have become followers of my blog. Love having you around.
