Joanna Sheen - Mum's the Word

Came across this lovely Joanna Sheen blog when looking for challanges to enter for Kenny K and thought I would enter with something completely different for me.

I was inspired by another card that I had seen on pinterest and have a few of Joanna's cd's and have printed out all the projects but have never made anything with any of them!  So after seeing Karin's card I thought why the heck am I not using these beautiful images!!!  I started making this card for my mothers 70th last weekend (went with something else in the end which I will hopefully show another time) but this card is now going to a lovely lady at work for her birthday.

These images are so beautiful they don't need much else to show them off, paper is from DCWV and flowers from WOC.  I saw a great idea again on pinterest using cheery lyn corner die which I used for the one flower.

Definitely different for me not having to colour an image in, mind you takes just as long to cut out all the pieces hehe but really enjoyed making this am looking forward to making the next one :)

Thank you for stopping by :)

Joanna Sheen - New Beginnings

Sunday night again, where does the weekend go and still no snow!  Not done much this weekend, had a bit of a family get together at my sisters as it was my nehpews birthday and had a nice Sunday dinner and now have been watching dancing on ice and doing a bit of blogging :)

Saw this challenge on the lovely Alison's blog and thought I would give it a go.  Not entered a Joanna Sheen one before and I have some of her lovely project books so will be keeping an eye on this blog for inspiration and may be show off a few cards.

Anyway the challenge is New Beginnings and I made this card just after Christmas for my other half's sister who had a baby girl on 19th December.

This is a LOTV image coloured with promarkers a few liquid pearls and some stickles.  Kept the card very simple using First Edition Paper called Love Letters with a bit of stitching and just a bit of ribbon.  The sentiment is also LOTV.

Hope everyone has had a fab weekend and thank you for popping by :)
