Rather than mount the rings and image into a pyramid effect, I kept them flat so the card should not attract extra postage.
Have a good week.

I have shared with you a lot of the cardigans and jumpers I had made for my youngest nieces dolls and so I thought it was time to take a look at some of the things I had made for the other half of the doll ie a skirt and a pair of trousers.
The trouser pattern had a matching headband, so I had to make one, didn't I?
I hope you have a good weekend.

I had another go with the curios cats metal dies - they are so much fun.
The dies came from Amazon but they had no manufacturers name on the packaging.
This was a very simple design, I decided the little faces would suit a DL card, I cut the cats out of black glittered card, I just love the whiskers and the eyes (sadly you cannot see the bottom cats eyes, but they are there). I mounted the cat images on silver mirror card and some old gold card.
I think they would cheer up anyone's day.

A couple of weeks ago I shared with you the knickers I had knitted for my niece's baby dolls, these knickerbockers are for slightly smaller dolls
They are made in 3 ply, my goodness, you would not believe how far this 3 ply yarn goes. I was beginning to believe it would never run out.
Have a great week.

Many years ago - and I really do mean many years ago, something in the region of ten or fifteen years ago! I purchased a lot of card making kits from both QVC and C&C. At the time I was relatively new to card making and the shopping channels made these kits sound so exciting and I bought so, so many of them. However, my skill level soon improved and I stopped using the kits to make cards and these boxes got pushed the back of my craft room and more or less forgotten about.
However, now that I find myself without a functioning printer, I have been forced to seek out alternative ways to make cards and I have quite literally dug out a few of these long forgotten kits to see what they contain and what I can make from them. I confess that I am no Dawn Bibby, Stephanie Weightman, Sara Davies or even Leonie Pujol.
This card comes from one of those kits, unfortunately it has been so long that I can not remember which shopping channel it came from or what make it is.
All of the elements came from the kit. I confess that I find the sentiments rather corny but, as they match everything else so well, they balance the design quite nicely.

A very quick post as the builders are due here any minute.
If you are a regular, you will know that I have been using up several spools of 3 ply, which my sister gave to me, to make cloths for my youngest nieces doll collection. This jumper used up some of the yarn I had let over at the end of this very long project!
I have to confess that I cannot remember which pattern I used or even if I made it up as I went along!
I just have time to wash up the cup etc from my morning coffee before the builders get here.

Where did the weekend go? I hope you had an enjoyable time, no matter where you were or what you were doing. We had a very wet weekend but all I need is a spot of card making to raise my spirits although at one point I did wonder whether my time would have been better spent making an ark.
This week sees the Wedding Anniversary of my sister and her husband. They have been married so long that I actually forget how many years it has been - and I think she has also forgotten!
I made this card from a Hunkydory Adorable Scorable pack called 'Animal Crackers'. A great set because almost everything you need can be found in the pack. All I needed to add was some glue and the Anniversary sentiment (I have always wondered why kits of this type do not include Wedding Anniversary sentiments).
Who would have thought that ladybirds and elephants would work so well together?
