Another card from the Oriental Card book by Marij Rahder. Same technique as yesterdays card, build the image then colour the background.

I love this card. Just a little bit different in that you build the 3d image and then colour the background. I added some Alison Ellis Oreintal paper and a gold layer to the card.

Another of our miniature shops. This is our internet cafe complete with computers and of course a jukebox ... which is actually a working radio. Thank you for visiting this week  Have a great weekend and call back soon.

Happy Birthday to my  brother Geoff. I hope your day is extra special. To celebrate I made this BBQ to hold his birthday gift and a card with the same theme The pattern for the BBQ can be purchased from Stampingaddict

Celebration Album INSTRUCTIONS  Cut two flower shapes from the chipboard. You could draw your own flower . Note that the flowers are opposite hand so that when put together they match. This is important to remember when cutting the various papers and also when making the holes for the rings. The album pictured measures 15cm at the widest point Cut two flowers from the patterned paper, one for the front cover and one for the back cover. When cutting the flowers, if you are very careful in the placement of the the pattern, you can cut four flowers from one 30 x 30 sheet if you wish to only use one sheet of patterned paper Cut two flowers from the pale green card for inside each of the covers. From the plain piece of card, cut 4 flowers. These will be your pages, you may add as many as you like Mark and punch the holes for the rings. One ring only can be used if you prefer a a flip album. Glue your covers to the chipboard flowers and when dry, sand the edges for a neat finish. Cut

 I made this waterfall calendar for a Christmas gift. Very simple to make using the same principle  as a waterfall card.

We are well and truly into our Monthly Craft Mad Sketch challenges. This year we have introduced a new challenge which is Christmas All Year Round. Every month we will have sketch for you to follow and upload to the gallery. By the end of the year we are hoping to have made a really good start on our list of Christmas cards that we need to make. This is my sample card for January. Our other card sketch theme for this month is Chipboard and this is my card.  and our Scrapbooking Sketch Challenge this year is also a bit different. We are making a scrapbook album. Each month we will upload a sketch and make a page of an event in your life for that month. At our Create and Chat night we are making the covers for teh album and later in teh year we will make a box to keep your album in.This is my January page.     So why not pop on over to Craft Mad  and check out the sketches and join in the fun.
