Photos at last

Yay, Mr blogger has finally allowed me to add some photo's.

So this is the card I made for a chap at work last year. 


I did it on the Serif Craft Artist package and them printed it on to leather look card.


It gives the picture a bit of an aged look.


Before I gave it to him I attached a key ring I had made to go with it but I forgot to photograph that ! Lol


Anyway hope you like it. See you soon take care.

Not a great start to the year

Good morning all. Hope all is well with you and that you have had a better start to the new year than our brother and parents have. They were going home on New Year's Day from visiting us when they were hit head on by another driver. Luckily John managed to swerve the car enough to take the major impact on the drivers corner rather than full head on and because of this they have all managed to walk away from it. Very bruised and extremely shook up but at least they are all in one piece.
 
The other driver didn't look so lucky and had to be stretchered off to hospital. We don't know yet how he is but hopefully he will be OK too. They say these things are sent to try us but my parents have more than enough going on at the minute without this as well! But if the love and support of family and friends can get you through then we know they will all be fine. 
 
Then to top the start to the new year off really well, my youngest granddaughter Isabelle came down with chicken pox yesterday!

Anyway that's enough rambling from me. How about something crafty? 

This is the card that I made for dad to send to mum for their wedding anniversary.
 
 
And this is the one I made for mum to send to dad. Lol. 
 
 
They were both done with Serif Craft Artist software on the computer and a couple of different digi kits. 
 
 
I don't use this often enough as you can make some really lovely cards with it. They are especially good if you want to post them. As you can get quite a lot of detail in without making the card too thick and heavy. 

Right that's all from me today. See you soon and thanks for dropping by again. 

Take care

With Love

Good morning folks, it's Jen back again today. I'm holding the fort while Jude is on her sick bed! There are so many bugs around at the moment and between the family we seem to be getting them all. So yesterday was Jude's turn. Hopefully she will be feeling better today and will be back to blog again tomorrow.
 
Today's card is one made from my Serif Craft Software again. This time using a bird theme.
 
 
I made up the layout using different elements and then printed them on to good quality cardstock. I printed an extra copy so that I could decoupage a couple of the pieces to give the card some depth.
 
 
I then added it to an A5 card blank and added some flowers and ribbon from the stash.
 
 
 
I kept the sentiment very simple as I was using this as an anniversary card, but it could be used for lots of other occasions, just by changing the sentiment.
 
 
Hope you like it, thanks for calling by.
 
Take care, see you soon.
