Take a look ...

This was for my new gorjus nephew, Marshall.

I used a quilted effect again, but rolled the corner down to add the greeting. What a job I had keeping it in place. I think the finished piece is quite sweet.

My Dad asked me to make a card for my Step mums birthday. Again I used a style I'd made recently with the 2 cards inter folding. I lve this type of card.

Just a quickie this morning ...

I've got to do Ds's eggs for the competition at school. Will put pics on later. I have no idea what I'm going to do. Not organised at all !
I've got a half done card in my craft room and loads of ideas and NO time to fit them all in. Oh to win the lotto. I could craft all day every day. Heaven.
Have looked at a few of my fav blogs and there are some fantastic cards out there. Will comment individually later.

Looks like its gonna be a lovely day, which is good. DS loved his trip yesterday. Couldn't remember what he'd seen, but thats normal for him at the moment.
Didn't manage any serious crafting yesterday. I'm hoping today will be more productive.
