It's Spooky Season

Hello.
The last few months have been really tough, but helping us through, are our 2 gorgeous grandsons, one of whom is celebrating his first Boo this season  :o)
Here are the cards I made for them.

These were simple cards to put together - just a little distress ink blending for the backgrounds and then adding the die cuts. These cute ghosts definitely look like they're ready to party!

Have A Roar-Some Birthday

Hello.
This month the AAA Birthday Challenge would like to see your favourite technique.
My favourite is die-cutting. Simple, I know, but I would be lost without my trusty Big Shot machine.

Here's a card I made for a special birthday girl.

• distress ink a background panel and splatter with black and white paint
• add die-cut 'Happy Birthday' in gold glitter paper
• add die-cut car  - I snipped off the roof to make it a convertible, piled it up with presents and swapped out the animals for a driving dinosaur :o)

A Truckload Of Happiness

Hello.

I've always loved die-cutting, but finally being able to get my hands on some of these fabulous spellbinders sets has taken me to a whole other level. 

Here's a truckload of happiness, for the Christmas card pile.

These are so much fun to work with, and I'm even starting to get to grips with using such tiny pieces.
To create my little scene I've also used a falling snow, and a scalloped edge die.
