| I really am pleased with his card, I made it as an apology card for missing a birthday so I needed to make sure it was a nice one. The embossed background is a crafters companion embossing folder on centura pearl, the flowers are tattered lace as is the butterfly which was the free die with the tattered lace magazine exclusive to create and craft with ribbon from my stash |

| 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. |

| 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) |
