Early morning cardmaking

This morning I found myself in the rare situation where I was awake before my children. After trying without success to go back to sleep, I decided to take advantage of the situation in another way - I'll make a card!

This is the result! I'm still on a mission to use up existing stash and I am currently looking through my magazines from February 2012 (I'm a bit behind!)

I have recently discovered altering things, I had the white paper flowers and decided to see whether I could make one which would match this card with the assistance of my Promarker collection. Hope you like it.

Been over a month since I posted, shame on me!

I have had a manic few weeks. With changes in the law on 1st April there has been a mad rush in signing people up to 'No Win, No Fee' agreements for their medical negligence cases. I work for Harding Evans, solicitors.  I have made a few cards over past weeks but because they have been in a bit of a rush, for my mum's 80th birthday and Mother's Day one week apart, I've given them away without taking photos of them - Doh! The other problem I have is that I have copied quite a few cards out of magazines using the free gifts that come with them so it does not feel right then to post them as one of my own creations (not to mention Copyright issues etc) so I'd rather not go there.

I had a big birthday yesterday and have been given money from hubby and mum, so i see some guilt free craft spending on the horizon! I've already ordered myself  Woodware Paper Trimmer. I've also been to The Range and bought myself a Gorjuss stamp and a big box to store all my cards in.

To make some room, I have also had a good sort out of my made cards and yesterday I posted off a big bundle to The Dogs' Trust for them to sell in their Bridgend shop - my good deed for the day.

I have had a bit of a re-organisation in my craft room and have managed to make a card tonight using up some old stash.

I will try not to leave it so long before blogging again! Note to self....take photos of cards before giving them away!
