Hi there,
Happy Sunday everyone. Today I'm showcasing a new card I've just added to my Etsy and Folksy shops. It was made for a customer whose daughter had just given birth to twins - a boy and a girl. How clever to have one of each!
Until she requested this card, I thought I had most occasions covered but realised I didn't have any "twins" cards. Had to make it in a hurry for obvious reasons. I chose a combination of pale pink flowers for the baby girl and pale blue for the baby boy, but could make this card in all pink for twin baby girls or all blues for twin baby boys.
Beginning the countdown to the end of the school holidays now - how depressing! So little time to "play" when its term time :(

Just back from our family holiday to Italy. Love being away but hate coming back and getting to grips with all the mundane household tasks - washing, food shopping etc. So thought I'd take a quick break from all that to show you another special order card, again for a new job.
I absolutely love the colour scheme of this card - will be making others using these colours I am sure!
Ah well, enough procrastinating - back to the washing!

Hi everyone,
A rather rainy Sunday afternoon here in Chertsey. Just popping in quickly to show you a card I made for a colleague a few weeks ago. She left our team and is badly missed, but has gone on to bigger and better things. She's not a very "girly" sort, so I thought I'd try a different colour combination for the flowers on her card.
This is a very adaptable design which can be made to suit a whole range of occasions.
I'm still enjoying the luxury of being off work for the 6 week summer holiday - 3 down, 3 to go. It's so nice to have a bit more time to "play" in my craft room and on here.
Back soon,
Jill
Well, it has been awhile! Won't bore you with details of why I haven't been able to find time to blog recently. I'm hoping to be able to post a bit more now that the school hols are here - watch this space. I do have lots of new cards to show you. I've had lots of requests from customers this year for wedding cards in more unusual colour schemes. This one was for my niece to give to her boss. The colour scheme for the wedding was teal and white. This is not a new design, but it looks quite different in this bolder version, I think.
The patterned paper I've used at the bottom is long retired from Stampin' Up - I wish they would bring it back, it is so beautiful and just right for wedding cards.
Hope you like it! Will be back soon,
Jill
Hello everyone,
A very Happy Easter Sunday to all my followers. Just a very quick post today to showcase some new Easter card designs. These were a special order for a customer and never actually made it into my shops,
but they'll be ready for next year! Nothing like being prepared!!
Have a wonderful time whatever you are up to this Easter!

Hello everyone and a very happy Easter to you all,
I'm enjoying a little bit of "down time" to do some of the things I rarely get a chance to do when I'm at work, including posting on here. No new Easter designs to show you, but thought I'd show you a special order I recently made for a customer. She liked this card:
but wanted a bigger 6" x 8" card, with a longer message. Here is the design I came up with:
Looking at it now there are some changes I'd make, but I think the customer was happy.
Enjoy the rest of the Easter weekend!

As I mentioned in the last post, it is my parents' diamond (60th) wedding anniversary soon - tomorrow in fact. I've already shown you the invitations so thought I'd show you the card I made them. Earlier this month I had made a large card (8" x 8") as a special order for a customer:
I don't think mum and dad would appreciate such a large card, so made a very similar one but slightly smaller (6" x 8"). I'm sorry about the quality of the photo - I took it at night in my studio, rather than in natural light with my usual set up. But I'm sure you get the idea!
Happy anniversary mum and dad - 60 years is certainly something to celebrate!
