Artist Trading Cards

I have taken a liking to doing artist trading cards, at first I thought they were too small and fiddly, but now I am really enjoying them and have joined a few swap groups.  Here are a few samples of some I have completed and swapped

Favorite color - very girly for me

Words of Wisdom, this is one of my favorite stamp sets

Time, I seem to have a bit of an obsession with clock faces, have them in everything

Shabby Chic

Gingham

And finally, Memories, again using that favorite stamp set, this time as an easel ATC

Reason for absence

First of all apologies for not posting for some time, I have been on holiday in New Zealand seeing my beautiful great neice.  

I've just with the help of my sister had a major tidy up, clean out in my craft room, so thought i would share some pics, not quite finished the whole room is yet to be decorated.  The stamps are going on shelves once the room is decorated.  It's hard to believe but I actually have empty drawers!

Back to School

I am delighted to be part of Aly,s Crafty Challenge design team, the first challenge was "Back to School".  I used a Molly Bloom stamp,coloured with copics, the papers are Basic Grey and the little stickers were just something i bought some time ago and knew they would come in handy sometime.

Retirement Card

I've done this card for my sister, who after many years is retiring, she has been a shorthand typist / personal assistant for many years and like a lot of us has seen the move from typewriters to computers but still during all this time she still uses shorthand.  I hope she likes it.

Silver Wedding Anniversary Card

I can't believe it is a month since I last posted, where has that time gone?  This is  a silver wedding anniversary card I was asked to make, it had to be special and big so that a lot of people could sign it.

Something a bit different

I'm trying my hand at digital scrapbooking, i fear it may become addictive.  This is a picture of my neice in New Zealand who was born in February this year and saw her first snow in June.
