Notelet set

My mum is selling tickets for a RAFA Brass Band concert tomorrow evening (Sat 3rd Oct) and has been struggling to get raffle prizes so I have made this notelet set for her as one of the prizes. I used the aroma notes Craft CD and designed the box to fit using CraftRobo. If anyone wants the GSD file, please let me know

Anniversary card by request

I had a phone call from a man today asking me to make an anniversary card for his wife so this is what I have made this evening. The die-cut decoupage is by Prestigious (I think) and is all printed on pearlescent card & matching backing paper

Distressed Halloween ATC's

Here are my 2 ATC's for the halloween swap being run over at http://fennedwards.blogspot.com/

Heather has supplied the images and then its up to you to "witch" them up.

I imported the images I chose into my Digital Scrapbook Artist software and changed the page size option to 2.5" by 3.5" and them added elements from a halloween digital kit. I then printed them out onto standard photographic paper and added antique linen distress ink to give the aged look.

I am quite pleased with the effect :-)

Birthday card for my nephew-in-law (if there is such a term)

After suffering a mental block, I have decided on this card for my niece's husband. Its a vintage image from Robert Adams Vintage Transport CD. I inked up the edge of the card with "tea dye" distress ink and mat & layered the image onto mirri card and some light gold pearl card. The topper has just 1 layer of decoupage but it really doesn't need any more. It stands out so well.
