Anyway back to a bit of card making, at class on Monday night we made this beautiful christmas card, I really like it, and you can use the design for so many different types of cards...you can't really see from the pic but its two pieces of A4 folded in half then one half of that folded in half again so it folds back on itself (do this to both pieces of A4) then put both pieces of cards together the two A5 half need to be DST'd together ....ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I give up think I have confused myself to much lol....hope you understand lol. Oh I forgot the side panels are the rectangle off the Glitter Girls Romance board x





Also just wanted to send loadsa love and hugs to my best bud Lou, the poor darling is really really suffering at the moment, so great big hugs and loadsa love to her xxxxx

Well I am so fed up of this weather rain, rain, rain, and more blurry rain. We were ment to be away last weekend camping (lol) but we decided as our campsite was on a cliff, we didn't fancy being washed away...lol

Anyway back to a few cards I have made lately. The first is a parchment card that was surposed to be for Nige for fathers day, well I didn't get it finished until last week lol....decided not to put it on a card, he wants it framing lol...




This corset card was blurry hard to do the card has to be just the right thickness to get the cups to go right.....so after about 20 different thickness of red card later this is what I came up with....hope you like it ..



sorry about the things in the background..it was either get Nige to take picture then or leave it until I remembered again lol
