Aching Limbs and New Cards!
However, despite the pain, I did manage to make a couple of cards yesterday afternoon, with varying levels of success.
The first one used my new Pink Petticoat images which are just fab. This coupled with DCWV papers make this a very simple card. Perhaps too simple...... Not sure. I like it but I don't if you know what I mean.
I am somewhat happier with the second card however I am annoyed that I didn't put enough adhesive on the image and it has subsequently started to lift. Grrr. Anyway, I used my favourite Papermania Retro Floral papers - I just love 'em. I coloured the PP image with chalks and highlighted with Decoart glitter glue. I finished the card with ribbon and adhesive gems.
Unfortunately, I won't be getting my Cuttlebug until my birthday in July and so don't have the Nestabilities dies. However, I do have some funky kiddies scissors and that is how I mounted the image on the scalloped edge circle. Fiddley, but its worked!
I've Won an Award!
The rules of the game dictate that it is now up to me to nominate 3 Blogs which I believe to be truly inspiring and inspirational. With so many fabulous Blogs out there, I will admit that I struggled to narrow it down. But, here are my top 3........
So now ladies, its your turn to proudly display your 'You Make My Day' award and in turn, each nominate 3 deserving fellow Bloggers. Who will you pick?!

At last, some new cards!
My next effort was a little more 'standard'! I had a good ole play with my Pink Petticoat images and papers and came up with this simple card. Still fairly effective though I think.
Thats all from me at the moment. Hope to post again tomorrow though as I was naughty at work today and downloaded a few more Pink Petticoat images! No doubt they will be on here very soon......!
P.S. Does anybody know how I can get rid of this really annoying box around my signature? Its driving me crazy!

An Unorthadox Choice for a Pearl Wedding Anniversary....!
What a wise man?!
Anyway....the talking to did me a world of good and I immediately came up with this design. I know it isn't perhaps what you'd expect of a 30th wedding anniversary card but hey, I like it anyway!

Pin ItPink Petticoat with K & Co Papers
My other love {as you will soon come to realise!} is Pink Petticoat. I just cannot get enough of the stuff. Its just so versatile, I think I will be using it forever.
Overall, this is one of my favourite cards of the moment and so I thought it was only fitting that it be the first of my, ahem, 'creations' to appear on my Blog!

We all have to start somewhere.....
A couple of months ago, I would never even have dreamt of doing this - I hadn't even started card making at the beginning of the year so starting up a Blog is a fairly big step I suppose!
Whilst my main reason for setting up my Blog is to share ideas with other people, I am also keen to {hopefully!} make some new crafty friends.
So....lets just hope you all like my creations!
Lots of Love,
