Thank You Jackie & Stuart....

My cousin and her husband came to visit last Sunday and took us out for lunch. I made this card (using a lovely Penny Black stamp) to send to thank them.

Modern Art

My friend Diane asked me to make a card for her grandaughter who will be 16 at the end of the month. She told me that she is quite a "way out " girl who likes modern art. This is the best I could come up with!! The stamp is a lovely Penny Black one. Diane always wants the person's name, age and date of their birthday on the card......not what I would do, but she is the customer!!!

Butterfly surprise

I love this stamp by Penny Black, and it makes a perfect quick birthday card! 

Happy Birthday Esme

A colleague asked me to make a card for Esme who will soon be three. The only requirement was that it included a picture of a cat.....time to turn to a lovely Penny Black stamp!

Good Luck!

Our team has had a couple of students placed with us for the last few weeks, and they are soon due to finish with us and go back to university. It seemed only right to make matching "Good Luck" cards for them......with another lovely Penny Black stamp!

Happy Birthday Mum

I have an unexpected day off today because of a problem with my car. What a great opportunity to make a birthday card for my mum. I just love this Penny Black rubber stamp!

Brown and blue and white

I needed to make a quick wedding anniversary card, so I decided to tie it in with the Penny Black Saturday challenge here; http://pennybfriendssaturdaychallenge.blogspot.co.uk

Happy Birthday Debs

A friend asked me to make a crad for her daughter who apparently loves cats and flowers......this Penny Black stamp seemed to fit the bill perfectly. Debs has a severe visual impairment, so I have tried to make the card high contrast so that she can see it as well as possible.

Three quick cards!!

I have made 3 very quick cards this Easter weekend. Two use a lovely rabbit from the Penny Black "Garden Critters" set, and the third is a "Funstamps" stamp, which I find really useful for men's cards.

Wishing you lots of luck....

Another colleague is off to pastures new, so I have been tasked to make a card for everyone to sign! This lovely stamp by Penny Black seemed to fit the bill!

Happy Birthday Kapil....

A colleague at work asked me to make a light-hearted birthday card for her boyfriend who is a chef. These stamps from the Penny Black "What's cooking?" set seemed perfect!!

New grandson

Some friends of mine recently became grandparents for the very first time, when their son and his wife had a baby boy on Christmas Day. This lovely Penny Black stamp seemed ideal to make them a congratulations card.

Valentine's cards

I take a few cards that I have made to work, and leave them for sale in the staff kitchen area. I give half of the money I take to Cancer Research. These are the first of a few Valentine's cards that I will take in.....all made with lovely Penny Black stamps of course!!

Another shadow box card....

This one is for my husband's step-mother. I used stamps from the Penny Black "Garden Critters" set.

Thanks so much....

I had a lovely Christmas, and received some really nice presents......what a good opportunity to make some thank you cards. I used the lovely Penny black " Bath Bunny" stamp, with a Stampin Up sentiment.

An unashamed scrap lift!!!

I needed to make a graduation card, and and bought the Penny Black "A Scholar" stamp especially. I had a look around in blog land, and was completely blown away by a card I found here;

Although I have changed it very slightly, it looked so good in it's original form, I followed I very closely!!

Happy Birthday Mum....

It's my mum's birthday next week, and she loves Penny Black stamps....particularly the hedgehogs, so this image seemed ideal!

Good Luck....again!!!

And now another two people are leaving our team....soon there will just be me, and I can hardly make my own leaving card can I ???!!!

Anyhow, I am running out of inspiration, so decided to make the last two cards variations on a theme!

Another lovely Penny Black stamp, a bit of Bakers Twine and there you have them!!

And another....

Goodbye and Good luck card that is! This one is for a colleague with a very sweet tooth, so this Penny Black image seemed perfect!

Snips 'n' Snails...

My friend Wendy asked me to make a card for her nephew who is soon to. Six. Apparently he is a real tomboy, and the family own a springer spaniel. This Penny Black stamp seemed to be perfect! I coloured the poor upside-down puppy to look like the family's dog, and added a bunch of balloons tied on with Bakers twine.
