Hello  - here is a card I've made for a swap on UKS - for the Chinese Whisper General card swap. I promised I would do a man's card and as I've already said my hands have been real bad lately so I did this one a bot at a time and finally finished it last night - I quite like it. Hope you like it. Papers are Tim Holtz - including the image, inks used are Tim Holtz, Made the card base up from scratch. The other bits I had in my stash. Enjoy :)

What have I been up to so far this year

Hello and here we are already well into the second month of this year - I've done a couple of things - starting off with a postcard swap on UKS - these are my six postcards - took me ages to do them - my hands have been very bad!! So here goes




And then I did a canvas - only a small one for a swap on UKS - it's a catty one  - not really what I had planned originally - but that is always the way with me -  I start off with one idea and end up with something else - hope you enjoy it -

As you can see the posts are all upside down - but I am new to this or should I say out of practice - so last but by no means least - here's Sam's (I knew I shouldn't have said it was going well - lol)

Right everyone's name is on the top corner of the mosaic except mine - not sure what happened there. I must also point out that my original card was made by me at The Stables Card Emporium in Harborough, Lincolnsire

Well this is going better than I thought - so here are the remainder - some very talented ladies!!



Wow I cant believe how long I have been away from my Blog, some of it is due to family issues and some of it is due to my failing health,

before Christmas I hosted a swap on UKS called the Chinese Whispers Christmas card swap. the idea was that we each made a card and sent it on via email, we would receive a card through the email and we would work on that idea and then send it on. The beauty of the swap was that it incurred no postal costs, it also gave us some different ideas to try out and we had the cards to use for Christmas - which was a big bonus. I have arranged the cards in a mosaic for each person and I think in each one your card is in the top left hand corner - if it's not I apologise. Some people have made 7 cards some 8 this is due to the fact that someone had to leave partway through to family pressures. Right ladies let's see if this is going to work:




So fr so good - here come some more:
