Foxglove pics

I have the most beautiful foxglove flowering in my garden. I have just taken these pics and if anyone wants to use them, feel free to do so. Just don't claim them as your own, please.

I made these as a change from all the LLB cards I have been doing recently. The lace is a much nicer purple than it looks in the pic. I got it, and the spotty ribbon from our local Boyes store. They sell bundles of lace and ribbon for 40p each. They are a bargain as they usually have about 3 yds on each. I buy some each time I go into town. I have a box of each now. Much cheaper than buying from craft shops.They also sell fancy knitting yarns that work well as funky fibres.

I was lucky enough to be asked, along with my friend Julie, to do some designs for Trimcraft using the new LLB collection. I did some projects using the Retro Rose collection. They should be in the Trimcraft gallery soon.

These are a few that I have done since then. It is a great collection and I have enjoyed using it. I decided to use different colours for the stamps, so they are quite unlike the original colours.

I embossed the stamp in one and sprayed it with cosmic shimmers. I also added a green ribbon but decided it was a bit bold so I covered it with a lace strip and am pleased with how that worked.

Smirk album page 18

I am almost finished my album now, only 2 pages to fill. I am holding the last page in the hope my niece (bride in the picture) has a baby girl next month. We don't have too many girls in the family. Just these two nieces, a great-niece and my daughter, who is the same age as the bride.

fish card

This is an encaustic card made using a nestability to cut the aperture. With the help of my beloved cuttlebug, of course.
The theme of this weeks challenge on the cuttlebug spot blog is frames or windows, so I thought I'd enter this card,
