Robert's Birthday card

September 2008 - A card I made for my Step-dad's Birthday

Leaving card

September 2008 I made a leaving card for Lynsay at work

Mum's Birthday card

I made my Mum a Birthday card for her Birthday in September 2008

Thank you cards

August 2008 again.

Some cards I made for my US friends to say thank you for their generosity.

I decided to give them a stitch marker each so tried to incorporate them into the cards

this is Katie's


and this is Deneese's


To be honest I couldn't work out how to incorporate Deneese's stitch marker so it's sort of a book mark thingy

G'Day

My beautiful cousin Sonya announced that she was uprooting and starting a new life in Australia in January 2008. I couldn't have been happier for her. What a great opportunity.

I wanted to make her a very special card and this is what I came up with. I was still new to cardmaking at this point remember ;)

I didn't get a proper picture of it because I finished it just in time to sign it and put it in it's envelope, so this is taken in the restaurant, after I'd given it to her

Happy Birthday to Cath

Whilst browsing through Ebay I came across a stamp that just screamed out "IN-LAW'S!!!"

They're a very musical bunch so when I saw a Happy Birthday stamp set on a music sheet background with a treble clef to one side I just had to get it for them.

Cath, my Nana-in-law's Birthday was coming up (August 2007) so I made this card for her.


my daughter Rheya contributed as you can see

Thank you card

My sister got married in July 2007...Hurrah!

We got stuck for a babysitter for the night do and our friends Mother kindly offered to watch Rheya for us since she was watching her Grandson anyway.

To say thank you for her kind offer I made her this card. A light improvement on the other cards don't you think?

My first attempt at card making

In June 2007 I bought this card making kit on a whim


and so began my venture into card making.

These are the first cards I ever made. I do get better with time I promise.

This was made for my husband for Father's Day from our daughter Rheya.


this one was for one of my 2 step-dads (well one is an ex-step dad)


and this one was for the other step-dad


I apologise for things not being in any particular order at the moment. I have a lot to show you so it's probably going to take a while to go back through my pictures.

Card making fun

From April 2009

Today, Rheya and I had a crafty day.

I made some cards for a couple of friends' kids and Rheya did some painting, followed by cutting shapes out of playdough.

This card is for Zoe (my friend Helen's little girl) who will be 1 on 13th April.


and this card is for Erin (Hazel's little girl) who will be 2 soon (Rheya's going to her Birthday party on Saturday)

Card making flurry

From February 2009.

I made Daniel a Valentines Day card



this was for my Nanna's Birthday



For Gina, my sister (who's Birthday is in April)


and a spare.



and one for my friend Alex who turned 30yrs in March :)
