A week long birthday!

Well last week it was my other half's Mum's birthday and this year I think she was thoroughly spoilt! :)
Jake and I got her a ticket to see the amazing Sean Locke ( I may have mentioned this before ) and her boyfriend who lives in Australia had spent weeks planning and buying lots of presents and sent them to me so she couldn't get to it before the big day :) I managed to fool her into thinking they hadn't arrive so she got a lovely surprise and then Jake and I managed to get 3 free tickets to see Chris Moyles quiz night and decided to take her as she loves Mr Moyles :) we even managed to keep her in the dark until we got into the building for the show. (We discovered how gullible and oblivious she can be hehe!)
Anywho... I made her this card for her birthday as she loves birds. Though I know it is a simple looking card I am rather proud of this one :)


I used my new Distress Inks to colour the birds in and edge the sentiment and I cut the birds with my Cricut. Sorry the picture isn't great quality.

Another birthday card ...

Well it was my cousins birthday a few weeks ago and as promised I am uploading a picture of her card. This was also my very first easel card... I think it turned out pretty well.


I drew the 'Boo' like character myself and coloured her in using my Promarkers. I used some small heart buttons as stoppers and embellishments but as it was for a 3 year old I didn't think lots of little things would be a great idea in case she pulled them off. I used some green foam letters I got from the local craft shop to add her name.

I have a lot more cards to upload but unfortunately I can't upload then because, although I doubt my family look at this page, I would hate for anyone to see their birthday card before they actually receive it so I will upload them as and when they get given :)

I hope you like them and thank you for stopping by.

I will get the hang of this blogging business soon...

Hello,
I went to see the hilarious Sean Locke last night at the local theatre with my other half and we took his Mum as a birthday treat. I have not laughed that much in a long time! I will never look at Madonna in the same way (or crabs for that matter!) ever again. If you have the chance to see him... GO! :o) 
"Milk, milk, lemonade, lemonade, lemonade, chocolate, chocolate, milk :o)"
I have not been the best at updating these blogs lately... mostly due to how hectic things have been. Planning birthdays and Christmas, studying for A Levels (though I must admit that has taken a back seat lately which is not great) and everyday work (and gigs like Sean Locke) I haven't found the time to post on my blog. I will hopefully get better...

My cousin Greta and my Grandma have just had their birthdays and I managed to make my Grandma the following card (will upload Greta's later)...
I stamped the images and sentiments by Woodware stamps ( I think ) and coloured them in using my minimal selection of Promarkers. I cut my speech bubble shape using my Cricut machine and created the border using my checked ribbon I got from Hobbycraft. 
This was this fastest I've ever made a card as it only took about half an hour but I was quite please with it. Unfortunately my stash is still in the early stages so I do not have as much choice as some of the AMAZING crafters blogging on here but I do the best with what I have at the moment. 

Let me know what you think :) I hope you like it. 

Love Camilla x

Christmas is coming...

Oh yes! Christmas is fast approaching and I am starting to get my Christmas cards in order. I went to a card club on Saturday in a place called "A Maze of Memories" aka AMOM. It was really good fun and you learn some new ideas, plus you get to play around with all of their fun crafting toys (this may sound boring to my beloved family but it is GREAT if you're into crafting). Anywho, this is my creation at the card club. 
I'm not sure how much I like it but it's a clever idea. The top corner comes off and turns into a bookmark so it is a card and a gift in one. 

I also got my first Magnolia stamps this month, only two but I LOVE them. I have made my very first card with them too, so please let me know what you think... 
 
Thanks
Love C x x x
