SplodgeAway L for Lace

Over on the SplodgeAway blog we are onto week 3 of our alphabet showcase and its my turn to make a card including lace somewhere on the card, i ve decided to use lace on the flower i made.

The splodgeAway mat came in realy useful for making the effect on the card that ive stamped on, more details are on the SplodgeAway blog. 

A Mammoth Task

Whoa......... where did the time go?

I cant believe how little I've blogged the last couple of weeks, the reason behind that is I've had a lot going on, I've been teaching a class at suzicraft so i had some prep to do, and this Saturday i have a demo day at suzicraft so again i have been prepping for that too. Also some of you may be aware splodgeAway could quite possibly coming to a certain crafting TV channel!!!!!! so I've been doing a little behind the scenes work making card samples, of course i can't show those on my blog so whilst my blog has been quiet i have been the very opposite. 

Today i had an earlier than expected finish from work so i took the mammoth task of tidying my craft area, Boy that was some task and it took a while, but on the plus side because it was all tidy it made me want to craft, as its my mam and dads anniversary tomorrow i thought id better get a start and make their card. 

I used some gorgeous websters pages and lots of matting and layering later i produced this lovely card.

Because the papers are so beautiful you don't need much else to create a gorgeous card in no time, the only other thing I've used id a little lace, bazzill cardstock, liquid pearls, heart pearls and stickles. 

sweet baby girls christening

I had a commission to make a christening card for a sweet little girl, and i couldnt think of no better image than the LOTV christening stamp. ive coloured with promarkers, the papers ive used are first edition spring drop and websters pages which were a freebie with this months simply cards and papercraft magazine.ive added 2 types of ribbon and used a lace punch the flowers are Wild orchid crafts the leaves are cut on the cricut, ive also added stickles and a few dew drops to finish.
Im entering this card into lili's little fairies LOTV challenge blog ribbon and lace, there are some amazing entries pop on over and have a look.

Ive got a late start at work today so im going to make a start on a few of the mothers day card orders before i go.
