Is a black cat really lucky?

I sure hope so, especially today:
I used:

- 6" x 6" square cream card stock

- pieces from a Kanban card kit bought ages ago from QVC

- Core'dinations plain card

- patterned backing paper from my craft goodies

Have a great day, whatever you have planned! Mine includes a hospital appointment - followed by a trip to the supermarket. Deep joy, I just can't wait :(

A new blog............

.........and it would be so nice if any of you lovely ladies could hop over and say 'Hi!'.

Bernie lives in the USA and has wanted a blog for a while - she now has one called 'Bernie's Craft Closet'. For a long time she's been visiting and commenting on my blog and having her own one is a new little adventure. Bernie has just posted a lovely card  on her blog and  it's worth a peek - here. I know it's always great to have visitors and comments.

AND, Mr. Postie has just arrived this minute as I'm typing this post, with a parcel from Bernie - how generous and kind. A gorgeous pashmina, in my very favourite colour, some super stamps to play with that are so me, I'm keeping them outta the photo as I'll be playing with them and then you'll get to see them :). AND, such a pretty card with a stand-up butterfly on - so delicate and pretty:


No time to craft here right now - normal service will resume as soon as possible :)) In the meantime it seems to be my turn to have lost my followers from the sidebar. I've checked the settings and they are fine but haven't got time to play around or report it to Blogger. I know it seems to be a bit of a problem right now for some other folk - it might be my browser running in compatibility mode but no time to play around. Any ideas anyone? HELP!!

Thank you so much and good luck Bernie - happy blogging honey!

Good luck to two young ladies

A friend's two daughters are taking ballet exams on 4th November. They are such well behaved young ladies that I thought she might like a card for each of them from their Mum and Dad to wish them luck on the big day. This is what I came up with:

Lucy is the youngest and her favourite colour is pink, hence the pink dress. Holly is almost a teenager and I thought white was suitable.

First I embossed the flowers down the border of the white linen cards and then added clear gems to the centres of the flowers - Kan Ban Bling.

The backgrounds are diecut and embossed using oval scallop Nestabilities and the feathery toppers were bought from The Range a little while back. They might not be true ballet dresses but they're near enough and the feathery effect is lovely! I added peel offs spelling out Good Luck and their names. Hope the cards work for them - they've been practising so hard.
