The Psycho and The Alcoholic

Good evening all

I have got two friends coming round tonight for a couple of glasses of wine, they both have birthdays over the next couple of days.


As little keepsakes, I thought I would make them each a door hanger.  One of my friends likes a few glasses of wine, so the verse I have put on her door hanger is about alcohol and my other friend is the total opposite and doesn't drink but is completely mad, so the verse on her door hanger reflects that.


To make them I have used:

MDF door hangers
Patterned Digital Papers
Spellbinders Decorative Labels Twenty-Eight
Heartfelt Creations Striped Sun Kissed Fleur Stamp and Die set
Tim Holtz Tumbled Glass Distress Ink pad
Memento Paris Dusk Ink pad
Nail Art Miro Beads
Pinflair glue


I am entering these into the following challenges:

30th

Good evening

My card today is a commission from another colleague at work.  Her boyfriend is about to turn 30 and he is also about to become a father as she is a month away from giving birth.  She wanted the card to include both of these elements.

I have gone with a blue and green theme and used a digital stamp from Sami Stamps which I have coloured using ProMarkers.


The digital stamp has been fussy cut and layer on using Pinflair glue to give dimension.

I have also used my Cameo Silhouette to cut out the circles and the 30 Today.


The background has been made using two matching digital papers, blue card stock and blue ribbon.  To give a little interest, I have added two light blue buttons.


On this inside of the card, I have used a free card verse from Crafts U Print and added "To The Daddy-To-Be, Happy Birthday"


I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Winter Carols

Good evening all

I'm going to start off tonight with a bit of a rant.  I have given 8 years of loyalty and work hard to the company I work for only to be told yesterday, that I am not ready for moving up the career ladder.  Instead, there are two young people that have been put forward who have only been doing the job for a year.  My conclusion, they have not got minds of their own and do exactly what they are told, where as I do have a very good mind and put my opinion across if I think there is a better way of completing a task.  Needless to say, I will be looking for a new employer.


Anyway, rant over.  This card today is the first in a big Christmas order for a colleague at work.  She wanted two separate cards in one.  So I have made a double Z fold card with one side for her grandson and one side for her son and daughter-in-law.


The digital stamp is from Di's Digi Stamps and I have coloured it using ProMarkers.  I have also used:

Tattered Lace Snowflake embossing folder
Memento Bahama Blue ink pad
Glamour Dust Glitter
Silhouette Cameo
Spellbinders D-Lites Icicles
Memory Box New Castle Snowflake
Flat back gems.

Notes Of Fantasy

Good evening all

Every week at work we have a planning for sales meeting where it is vital to take notes, unfortunately, I always seem to lose my note pad.  I need something that is easily spotted if I put it down, so I decided to decorate one.  I don't think this will get lose very easily.

I have again, picked out my all time favourite colour, red and used a digital stamp from Saturated Canary which has been coloured with ProMarkers.  Please be gentle, this is my first attempt at no line colouring.

I have also used the Heartfelt Creations Arianna Blooms stamp and die set, the Impression Obsession Fir Sprig die, Stampendous Frantage Shabby White Embossing Enamel and white pearl beads.
