I love Diane’s page for this week’s MMM challenge: The Written Word and the poem about time from Dr. Seuss… This card is for a friend of mine, using lots of text and one of my favourite sayings to try and cheer her up. She’s had a bit of a rough time lately and hasn’t [...]

They’re so useful in backgrounds, aren’t they? I’ve covered several themes in this collage (which came together unbelievably quickly!) – Make It Mondays – Postage Stamps; Created by Hand – Stripes; and Artygirlz – Butterflies.
The original cardstock is maroon, although you wouldn’t know it now! I used torn text pages for the base, then postage [...]

I made this card for a friend whose daughter is getting married on Saturday – she always leaves it till the last minute!! Honestly, I was so far outside my comfort zone on this one… I just hope you like it Pat – more importantly, hope S. does!! Pat saw the trio of frames I altered [...]

I really enjoyed the [...]

Doesn’t sound like a very natural colour combo to me… but in the spirit of adventure, orange trees and blue skies, I made a good friend a birthday card this evening. Apparently it’s her birthday on Friday so I am trying to be organised! Here’s my entry to this week’s Artygirlz challenge:
Lots of blues/oranges here [...]

Briefly, here’s my card for this week’s theme at Theme Thursday – Friends 4×4 – featuring a Mother/Daughter image from DCS. I chose to make this because until she passed, my Mum was my best friend and I still miss her terribly.
I’ve had the most wonderful day today. Nick arranged for 4 severely disabled guys [...]

Woohoo! Artygirlz is a year old today!! I can’t believe I have been blogging and doing Crissi and Julie’s challenges for a whole year! So we naturally enough have to celebrate the birthday, don’t we? I have had a free card kit in my stash for a long time. I don’t like them – there [...]

… it’s all about “opposites attract“! Basically, that means light/dark, black/white, positives and negatives… hot/cold – to me, anyway! So my take on this week’s challenge is using one image and contrasting it for this card. There’s a fab prize up for grabs too – a sheet of Cherry Pie Artstamps!
Stamp: Anita’s – this is a [...]

That’s the Created by Hand theme this week, so I’m submitting this card. I made it for a lady in Virginia called Lennie – we don’t know each other, but she sounded such a fascinating character, I just wanted to send her a card! I know, I can be impulsive, but get this: Lennie is [...]
