100 not out!

I work in an Old Folks home and one of our residents will be 100 years old tomorrow so I've made him this card - I had some blue ribbon that would have gone a treat with the blue pearlescent card but I wanted it to be quite plain. Despite its simple look it's taken me *$%!!@# ages to do it, hours and hours. I was going to make a few more Pudsey cards but I can't be bothered now, I'm knackered (I'm only 50, I don't think I'll have the energy to reach 100)

Children in need


I am enjoying making cards for non traditional occassions and this one is no exception. It will be "Children in Need" day next Friday and I couldn't resist making a Pudsey Card. All cut out on the craft robo, the bandage is using Pink Petticoat Lola's Boudoir paper and the white highlights are a sakura souffle pen. Not sure if the googly eye gives him the right expression or not but it's all glued down now!

Merry Wishes

The spring card seems to be popular at the moment so I thought I'd have a go at one. I used a craft robo template from Patricia at UKS cut out on Pink Petticoat doodle-iscious Christmas and Christmas Rainbow papers in Poppy and Gold, with the central image stamp from the same collection. I have used a scallop punch and also craft robo shapes from Cuddly Buddly to make the scalloped layers. I also pierced small holes in the gold scallop using my pokie tool, but it doesn't really show up in the photo that well. I rather like the way this has turned out.
