Online web demo

I have just attended an online web demo - complete with whiteboard. It was brilliant.
It was run by Card Making World - see my previous link to their site.
A very good demo, complete with chat from tutor and attendees.
Brilliant.

Pretty images for a baby girl

These are just two of the images that I use for 'baby girl' greeting cards. I have many - don't be shy to ask to see them.



Some of the images I use

This is one of the images that I use for a new baby congratulations card.
I have many more - you decide, you can take a look at my images, leave it up to me or send me one of your favourite pics to use.

.... and yet again, more!


.... and even more!


More of my hand-made cards to view.


Donations wanted

I collect anything at all that can help me make cards. Please do get in touch if you have anything at all that may help.

Justgiving

Don't forget to check out my justgiving link and see just how much money I have raised so far.
It's a long job though and much more is needed - in fact it's ongoing... as long as our men are out serving and risking their lives I'll be card-making and fund raising.... no stopping me!

Some pictures of the cards that I have made. Please take a look and tell me what you think. I am happy to receive any feedback.




A message to all those people that have used my cards

Please, please take time to look at my blog and leave a comment.
Did you like my cards?
Did you recommend to anyone else?
Did you use my cards and if so who did you send them to?
Did you find the confetti useful?

I'd appreciate any feedback/comments about the cards that I made you - every little bit of feedback will help me to make better cards.

Having a clear out

Today I am busy sorting out my craft drawers and boxes. I can't believe how much material I now have to help me make my cards. People (strangers) have been so kind with their donations
and I now how so many lovely things to experiment and design with.

Thank you to everyone that sends me material to use.

Confetti galore!

Don't forget every pack of cards I send to you will also have a little extra special gift enclosed... a pack of greeting confetti (hand-made).

Any design - any greeting

You tell me what you want - a mixture or a special greeting style of card. I'll do my best and make what I can.

To all those that have received my cards

I'd love to hear from you on my blog. Please leave me a comment if you were pleased with my cards. Please tell others what I do.

Cards for heroes - Help for Heroes

Some time ago I decided I would like to make use of my crafting talents and help to raise money at the same time for Help For Heroes - a brilliant charity that's doing so well yet still needs lots and lots of support.

Being the mother of a Royal Marine who has served many times now away from home and has caused us mountains of worry has helped to give me the push to do something for this marvellous charity.

On my blog below you will see a link for Just Giving - please take time to check out this link.

I make cards for anyone that donates to the Just Giving site - and obviously the charity is Help or Heroes.

I am happy to make a pack of 10 greeting cards - a simple donation to my link is all that's asked - no matter how little.

Please take time to look.
