Hi Everyone,
Its been a while since I posted I have been very busy with life just lately.
This week I thought I would get back to cardmaking by starting with my first christmas card of the year.
This card was made using the Lili Of The Valley digital stamp Snow Shovel.
I coloured the image with my promarkers, unfortunatly I cant remember all the colours I used!
The papers are from a craftwork cards usb.
I finished the card using wooden embellishments that I made myself using my Xtool M1 laser cutter, I really love this machine and I think it was worth every penny I paid for it.
I am going to enter my card in the challenge over at Passion For Markers blog.

Hi Everyone,
This weeks card is made for my niece who turns 7 today.
I decided to make a shaker card as I think they are really fun especially for a child.
Roxy told me she liked trolls and I new I had the perfect image for the card.
Trolls really takes me back to my childhood I loved to save my pocket money and collect them (I just wish I had my collection now)
The image and backing papers are from Sherry Baldy My Besties collection Trollville.
I found a blog called Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 which has a design challenge and you use there sketches to enter.

Hi Everyone,
This week I have been playing again with my new toy the Xtool M1 laser engraving hybrid machine.
As my M1 can cut plywood I thought I would make a wood ornament instead of a traditional card.
This Piece can be used for an adult Easter gift too!
I hope you like it see you next time.
