Circle Cards
Everyso often I get bored with doing conventional square / rectangular cards and have a little change, earlier this year I went through a circular phase!!

Zig Zag cards
A friend bought me a scrapbook cards book when she came for dinner one night instead of flowers and chocs, and in it was a zigzag card which I just had to try! It became my DD's 5th birthday card and of course I made it very girly which she loved! I was so pleased with the result that I took it along to a card club that I go to monthly in the local church hall to show a couple of friends and ended up doing being roped into doing a demo in June (it all went very well and all the ladies went home with card!) they're actually easier than they look - lots of measuring!! Anyway here's the card that started it all!
'0' birthday's !!
There's been quite a few 0 birthdays this year (and still 2 more yet to come!) 2 of my step-sister's have turned 50, my step-dad was 70 and hubby was 40 (bless!) I won't bore you with all the cards just 2 that I really like.
40 was for my mum to give to my hubby, I hand cut the letters and was really pleased with the final result - love that chocolate glitter!!
The black n fushia card was for my sister, I card make at night & didn't realise until the next morning that I'd used the navy gingham ribbon not the black and I couldn't take it off at that point ( I did say a slightly naughty word!)
It's been a while!!
Took a long break from blogging - it started to take over my life and everything else started to suffer !! I've decided to start up again but to hopefully have a little more self control and will only post occasionally!
Life has been fairly busy dashing here & there with the kids and we're now totally chilled out and going into week 4 of the holidays - 3 weeks tomorrow & they're back to school. DS goes up to the junior site (gulp - no more waiting outside the classroom :-( ) and DD goes into Y1 and starts to bring homework home each friday !! On the 24th Sept I'm going to college to do an NVQ2 in Suport Teaching & Learning and will be at college on weds afernoons & doing 2 mornings a week with Y2's at our school - all very exciting but a little nervewracking too!! It's been 21 years since I last did any proper study I'm not sure how my brain is going to cope!!
