Okay I know I said I would do it myself......BUT... I just couldn't find the time and it was driving me nutts..... SO!!! I found this fab site Deb's backgrounds . You must visit her if you want to change your blog background or header. Debs has a blog just for freebies. She is so tallented her work is fab. So go visit Deb and change your blog. I never changed my background cause I really like it, and I think this header matches the colours very well. The header was blank and I added the text in Publisher.

Bling!! Lady's Boot...








A bit of a fun card for a change.. I did this one for a challenge that Carly has set her DT members. We had to make a card that's NOT a circle, square, triangle or rectangle. Well it's none of those so it should be okay. You can find the template I used here. I've been wanting to do a Lady's Boot card for ages and this snakeskin paper was just crying out to be on a boot. I've added the bling border on the top and a few feathers. I put eyelets down the front on each side and laced it up with lilac ribbon adding a bead at the ends. In contrast the inside is quite plain I just added a sentiment and stamped a Flower, which you can just see in one of the pics. I've put up four pics so that you can see the different angles. Thanks for looking. I really enjoyed making this card.
DON'T FORGET!!!! Charisma Cardz Thursday challenge tomorrow. Pop along and join in the fun great prizes to be won every week.

Hi there hope you are all having a lovely day, this card is an order. I was asked to do a card for a young man entering the Royal Navy who has just passed his exam. Just kept it simple as you can see, a ship, a logo, battleship grey, some stripes and of course a reef knot. I Hope he likes it. Thanks for looking.

Wow!! Bev has some really yummy candy on the go and not just one but two lots. She has the new Whiff of Joy Spring kit and...the very saught after Martha Stewart punch along with loads of other yummy stash. Go check out Bev's creations and her fab blog they are amazing.

Cars and Footie...




A couple of cards for orders. Mens cards are a pain to do so I used the same layout and changed the theme. Cheating a wee bit I know but they are for different people so I'm not bothered. Not too fussy and maybe a bit plain but I think guys cards are better that way, what do you think? Thanks for popping in and looking around.
