The UKS card swap for March was all about florals, so here is one of the card versions I came up with: Digital image is from Kirsty Wiseman as are the polkadot papers. Gems and ribbon from stash, flower stickers from Tesco, I think!

Boy Cards

You'd think growing up with three brothers and having a little boy that I wouldn't have a problem putting boy cards together - not so! I find it very hard to find inspiration and usually rely on a paper design to help me out.

With a few boy borthdays coming up, I dug out some lovely spotty paper and bright bazzill card and came up with these:




I'm sure they will hit the spot - just need to find some large suare envelopes to fit them now!

Papers and greeting from Kirsty Wiseman CD printables.

Kirsty Wiseman's Buglets

I love Kirsty Wiseman's designs and she has just released a series of digi stamps called "Buglets" here:

My favourite is the Geek Bug - I was a bit of a geek at school! I've enjoys playing with these and using Promarkers to do a bit of colouring in too.










Late Christmas Card Design!

UKS has some great swaps and in November last year, I took part in a card swap. Make 5 cards the same, send them to the host and get 5 different ones back from other designers.

Here's my design using old Blitzen Basic Grey papers, buttons and stash:
