April Showers Bring May Flowers

April Showers bring May Flowers. I made this canvas using the Cricut cartridges 'walk in my garden, Spring cottage, 3 birds on parade, and imagine more cards.
hope you like it.

Thomas Tank Engine

This is my first attempt at a 'canvas' and I am quite pleased. I have a darling wee boy in my life who just LOVES Thomas the Tank Engine.
The canvas is a 10x10 size and I used SU inks to do the sky and grass as a base. Thomas and Percy are cut on my Cricut E2 from George Basic Shapes, and the letters are also cut from here. The railway lines I cut by hand. the tree is from the Cindy Loo cartridge and the aeroplane is from a box of wood embelishments. I used Ice Stickles - crystal ice on the very edge of the plane wings and the nose of the plane. I used a SU marker to dot some green grass around the base of the tree. I am actually quite pleased with the end result - hope my 'little man' is pleased with it too.

bird cage card

I made this card from the 'creative cards' cricut cartridge. I like cards that 'move' and the bird cage swings nicely in this one. I have added some leaves and berries up the side and a bird and butterfly on the inside. I like the 'hang in there' sentiment. I am going to enter it in the 'bitten by the bug 2' weekly challenge.

Irish Card

this is my effort at doing an Irish card. I used Art Philosophy, Destinations and Cricut Alphabet cartridges

Album for twins

 I made this for a young lady expecting twins soon. I will put their names on the outside when we know the names (both girls apparantly).
this is the inside and I have done it in red pink and yellow and used pages from a crafters choice Happy Owl stack. card stock is from stampin up. Have left places for her to add photos and places for her to journal. (hope she likes it).
took forever for me to work it out but got there in the end. Guess who was my inspiration??? of course my dear sister Flo.

post-it-notes cover

covered a post-it-notes pad. thought this was quite cute and a bit different. bird cut with su punch.

little boxes for wedding guests

made 140 little boxes from Sweet Tooth Boxes. bases were black and lids were purple. lids were embossed with cuttle bug and a hearts folder.
Brides colour scheme was purple and black and these were for her to give a wee gift to all her guests.
