Mothers day cards for my mum and mum in law (lets hope they don't look at this). So I sourced the poems from free verses on the net foiling them with my letraset foiling machine, the frames are by tonic, the flowers and foliage are tattered lace as is the with Love sentiment I have also use a tonic frame die, tonic butterflies buttons and bakers twine from my stash  and last but not least the words mum I cut using my brother scan and cut. All the papers used were in my stash

This card was made for the March card swap on the M.C.S platinum members forum, the theme was music. The background paper, images and tag were from the 6th Anniversary music and dreams cd rom. I added a flower cut using a tattered lace lavish blooms die from felt and patterned paper. The insert I personalised with text and images from the cd rom.

The following are all samples done for MCS shabby sweet cd rom launch, this one is a pillow box picture frame which I have simply printed out cut out and added some crafting.co.uk roses which I have coloured with my spectrum noir pens to match the colour of the printed flowers already on the frame. I then added a picture so easy but so affective.

This is a note book which is already measured for you you just print and cut, I added a ribbon held in place by complimentary buttons and brads, then added some gems to the front bearing in mind not to add too much for ease of use.

With this card I layered with some yellow card on a white base (thinking about Easter), I then printed off the images of the children and ducks which are available separately on the cd rom and then just cut them out to make my own decoupage. I only did one layer but how many you do is up to you. The sentiments are also on the cd rom, for the front one I enlarged it and added shadowing for the inside one I used the elite programme to soften the edges of the background image as well as altering the opacity, I then added the sentiment digitally punching it out leaving it as a white text within the background a look which I really like

a simpler decoupaged card plus more of the sentiments

 I had a lot of fun with this little set of cards with matching lined envelopes again all available on the cd rom I altered the size of them using the elite programme and added a matching tag so they could be given as a gift. Simply adding some pearl gems to finish them off tying them together with a length of matching ribbon from my crafty stash (left over from my daughters wedding invites and the perfect colour match)

made this for my lovely husband, gorgeous papers from papermilldirect and the die are tonic verso which sell themselves don't they

This card was for the February card swap on the M.C.S forum the theme being monotone or monochrome. the background is from my stencil studio cd rom, the font is from all about alphabets the faux ribbon (with real ribbon insert )is also from my stencil studio. I then made up some black paper clay from Martha Stewart and made some butterflies and a bow. To finish it off although it doesn't show very well I added some glitter using a zig wink of stella pen in clear glitter which is lovely.

Very Happy with this card (hope Michelle was lol) I made this to compliment their wedding invites I did for them. the large inset die is spellbinders and the flower sprig is tattered lace. the embossing folder is crafters companion. I used my letraset foiling machine on the font. Their wedding was last Saturday and although the weather was awful as we were in one place for the whole day it didn't spoil it at all. Congratulations to my life long friend Michelle and her new husband Gordon xxx

Now I know it's late but I really like this card I made for my parents so wanted to include it. The round die  tonic verso, the word is tonic, the wreath die is spellbinders the back ground patterned paper and sentiment are from my paper stash.

This I did for the M.C.S forum January card swap the theme was ribbons and lace, the cd rom I used was all about lace from the 6th Anniversary collection. I just added some brads, ribbon and glitter spray from my crafty stash

these are two fiftieth birthday cards I used crafters companion A4 embossing folders, tonic verso and lily die plus the lily papers. I printed the wording out and foiled it with my letraset hot foil impressions machine (remembering to print on my laser printer)
