....while I've been missing from blogland???
Just a few easel cards......
The first was for my son Marc who turned 16 (eek!) on Tuesday :-) I found this digi image from Bugaboo stamps which really isn't too far from what he's actually like :-) and then combined it with a big "16" cut from a freebie background paper from Bearly Mine Designs. The gingham paper is from Crafts Too. Silver swirls, some brads and a charm... ooooh and those lovely letter tile stamps I got on ebay:
Challenges for Marc's "16" card:
Creative Inspirations - Digi Day
Moving along with the times - Anything goes
ABC challenge - T is for Trouble
I tried a similar approach for this 50th birthday card but I wasn't as pleased with the results:
The image is one of Clare Curd's, It's a Man's World clear stamps. The party popper is in the set too :-) The papers are Just Chillin' from Making Memories and the stars are Quickutz nesting stars. A bit of faux stitching to try to make it stand out a bit more but still not enough, methinks...
Challenges for 50th birthday card:
Let's ink it up - Show us your stitching
Pollycraft Monday Challenge - Fun and Games
And then this is for my sister's wedding anniversary this weekend:
An unused Forever Friends stamp until now - naughty, naughty! Stamped the image onto textured card to see what the effect was like and really quite like it :-) The papers are papermania's Summer Bloom. I used the Xcut lacey heart border punch and a sizzix swirl. The sentiment was a stamp I got from ebay - love it!
And just so you can see the glittery bits.....
Challenges for anniversary card:
Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - Pink, cream and brown
Totally Gorjuss - Bling it on
Wags 'n' Whiskers - Use a die or a punch
Are you fed up of me now???? I hope not cos I'll be back on Sunday with my DT card for the latest Dream Valley Challenge :-)
See you soon!
Love 'n' hugs,

Those are all great cards! Though my fave has to be your son's card - my son looked like that cute Bugaboo Stamp until he was 20! That was when his girlfriend got him to cut off his long hair and wear clothes that weren't just black!!
Bless 'em, they all go through these stages, don't they?!
much love, Mags x
