<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Me again, second post in the same day....!! LOL </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Just a quick one to show you a card I made for my mum for her birthday last week. I've used a Sarah Kay image and Portobello Road papers (which I got free in this month's Do Crafts magazine) and I love them. I really like the vintage feel of them and the colours are lovely.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So again I handmade the flowers, using the same technique as in my first posting, I've coloured the image using prisma pencils and blended with sansodor, I hand drew and cut the letters for Mum and the sentiment is PC generated. </span></div>

<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Hi, all hope you are well. It's been such a long time since I last posted (again) and unfortunately, even though I have been crafting, my blogging has been poor. I've got out of the habit of blogging and visiting everyone else's blogs and leaving comments on the gorgeous cards you are making..!! I'm going to try my best to get back to blogging and posting my pictures, as well as entering challenges.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I made a card yesterday which I think will fit in to this weeks <a href="http://papertakeweekly.blogspot.co.uk/"><b>Papertake Weekly Challenge</b></a> - "In the Garden".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The papers are from <a href="http://www.designhousedigital.com/digital-scrapbooking-kit/mary-shaw/retrospect-collaboration-kit"><b>Design House Digital</b></a> and are called Retrospect. They are absolutely gorgeous and I love the colours. I think this is one of my favourite cards so far as it looks so fresh and clean. The set contains 47 different papers and 50 element and it can be obtained for free by taking part in their <a href="http://www.designhousedigital.com/content/blog/retrospective-a-blog-hop-collaboration-freebie/"><b>blog hop</b></a>. The sentiment square is part of the set and I've added my own text to it. </span><span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The image is from </span><a href="http://www.pinkgemdesigns.com/catalog/" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>Pink Gem</b></a><span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> and is one of my choices from winning a few weeks ago and I've coloured it using prisma pencils. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The flower was handmade and I've been creating a few of them by cutting wobbly circles out (as I don't have any flower punches at the moment), cutting petals in to the circle, wetting the paper and scrunching it up and then I've been putting it in the oven to dry it out as it gives them a nice crunchy feel. I've then used a bit of stickles to glam it up a bit and a couple of faux pearls.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I'm sure I'll be creating plenty more cards using these papers. Anyway here's my card:-</span></div>

<br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">After well over a year away from crafting and realising how much I missed making cards etc, I'm back...! LOL </span><span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I sold all my old craft stash, but am slowly starting to rebuild my bits and pieces. I've made a few cards over the last few weeks but this is my first to post on here in such a long time (wasn't sure if I could even remember how to do it... lol).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I made this card the other day but it fits in with the challenge over at <a href="http://pinkgemchallengeblog.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #073763;"><strong>Pink Gem</strong></span></a> - which is Pastels. I made the card using the freebie image "Dillon" which Janet has over at <a href="http://pinkgem-janet.blogspot.com/"><strong><span style="color: #073763;">Pink Gem.</span></strong></a> It's absolutely adorable and I've made a couple of cards already with the image as I love colouring him in.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbuwz2-2QVgK5TkE276NLmC70xgIjMgKIooa4sqehPZnkl3GQnH8Dg68T9ZDcZ5ivccSN0GAGbb1dVizj7n1MBioeR3Ao3S3ix2LE__AEDYjuv2PNT_O07tTeBAN7V-XaMOBabqLmdQ8rR/s1600/101_2546.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="317px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbuwz2-2QVgK5TkE276NLmC70xgIjMgKIooa4sqehPZnkl3GQnH8Dg68T9ZDcZ5ivccSN0GAGbb1dVizj7n1MBioeR3Ao3S3ix2LE__AEDYjuv2PNT_O07tTeBAN7V-XaMOBabqLmdQ8rR/s320/101_2546.JPG" uda="true" width="320px" /></a></div><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #6fa8dc; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I've coloured him using prisma pencils blended with sansodor. The pale yellow paper is called "Small white dots on pale yellow" and it's from Craft Creations Ltd, which I bought from my local <a href="http://www.clickoncrafts.co.uk/"><span style="color: #073763;"><strong>Clickoncrafts</strong></span></a> shop - as is the ribbon and I've used stickles to highlight bits.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Hope you like it and it's sooooo good to be back. I have been visiting some blogs and taking a peek at some of your cards which are fab, hopefully I'll start leaving comments soon.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Take care</span><br />

I met Ann-marie at my own wedding 14 years ago when she had just started going out with my cousin Rob. We've been friends ever since and there is no-one I would rather have as a best friend - she's my female soulmate and I'd be lost without her.<br /><br />I love Rob like a brother and he gives me faith that there are decent men out there and if I could find a man half as decent as him then I'll know I'm on to a good thing...!!<br /><br />Their relationship makes me laugh and I love how they are with each other. I know that they'll be married forever and this first anniversary is the first of so many. </span><span style="font-family:arial;color:#663300;"><br /><br />On to their card. I knew immediately which image I wanted to use and that I wanted to try and go down the vintage route. I'm not that good in creating vintage cards but had a good go at this one.
