Hmm...

...nope not sure about this one!  All the individual bits I love - the star is my favourite sizzix primitive star die, love the big button, love the colours... don't like the card though!  It's the sentiment I think, I faffed around for ages, trying to get it to look right somewhere, and what I should really have done is used a different sentiment.  Never mind, it's just a quick 'just for fun' card.

Apologies if I haven't managed to return your comments yet - off to catch up now :o)

Another forgotten card...

I've had a busy day doing loads of organising in the craft room (hubby's put me some shelves up so I had to fill them lol).  So as I've not really made anything I can share today, here's another card that I forgot to show on here when I made my Little Claire samples.

The cute elephant and sentiment are both from the Lots of Fun set, image is coloured with promarkers.  The papers are Making Memories and the spotty ribbon is available from Little Claire here.  Looking at this card now, I think it's a bit too plain... it could have done with something else adding.... Can't do anything about that though, because it was sent to Little Claire ages ago!

Another boring Cricut question if anyone can help - if I set the blade on 6 it seems to scratch the cardstock as it moves around to make the cuts... is this a common problem or something I'm doing wrong?  Oh, and I finally made my mind up and ordered the Wild Card cartridge - it looked like fun and there are loads of You Tube tutorials that 'sold' it to me!

Well, I should probably get on with some more organising, but I'm going to have a wander around your blogs instead :o)

Here's one I forgot I made earlier!

I think I'm going to spend today trying to get to grips with the Cricut... it's driving me a bit potty at the moment lol!  I'm finding some cardstock just doesn't want to cut, even though it doesn't seem that thick and I have the blade set at 6.  It won't get the better of me though, I can just see quite a lot of cardstock getting wasted while I learn how to use it properly.

So, as I probably won't have anything new to share today, I thought I'd show a card I made with one of Little Claire's new stamps a month or so ago... I've found a few pics that I forgot to blog when I showed my other samples.  This one's a really simple 5 x 7" card, the lovely Georgia image is coloured with promarkers, papers are K&Co with red cardstock from my stash.  The cork-centred flower was bought in a sale ages ago - I've not got many left now and wish I'd bought more at the time!

Off to change stinky Dex - he just told me 'I'm sorry mummy, I smell' lol... he's still flatly refusing to use the potty or his very fetching bright pink loo seat that he chose, stubborn little monkey!
