wow on the day I was discharged from hospital I find out that I have won my first card competition  on the M.C.S platinum club members forum. the theme was that all the art work should be from an M.C.S  cd rom with any changes made done through M.C.S also so that is exactly what I did I chose my subject the tricky bit was copying the image onto printable acetate as you have to remember to reverse the image overlay on.top of the card topper the copy it onto a new page so it will be in the right place then print off so effective I then added a tag ribbon from my stash and some gems then made a matching lined envelope really enjoyed this make x

May card swap for M.C.S platinum club, the theme this month was embossing (both types). the background is a crafters companion A4 embossing folder, I then used tattered lace flowers which I heat embossed the smallest middle flower are cut outs from the background folder which I also heat embossed and finished with buttons which covered in clear thick embossing powder. the butterfly is tattered lace (free die with the create and craft special edition). I finished the inside off with  a piece of velum on which a tattered lace border and letters were added

Easter card for M.C.S club forum card swap. When I do a card for the forum I only use M.C.S products so the background is from a cd rom, the font, figures and flowers are from an Easter download free from M.C.S and the flowers are tattered lace.

My first card using the brother scan n cut, the bouquet and oval are from the stored patterns that come with the brother. the trellis back ground is from a file shared by  http://gentlemancrafter.wordpress.com/(thanks John they are great) I just altered it slightly to fit my card. I thought putting it onto acetate would show the trellis nicely. Am well pleased with my first attempt- start simple love my scan n cut.
