assorted cards

Good morning, thanks for stopping by.  I hope everyone has had a wonderful break and for us here in Australia, the kids are back at school today YAY!!!! Hence why I have the time to show yo what I have been up to.  Well last year was HUGE for myself and my family.  I slowly started to get back into work after massive abdomen surgery, my husband started at uni for the beginning of his new career choice, and my kids settled into their new school.  On top of that I had my new little business which is growing every day and thanks to my wonderful loyal customers is becoming quiet the success :-) 

so enough about the boring... I wanted to share with you a couple of my recent cards.  I know I don't get on here all the time, but as with everyone, time just goes by so fast.

these first couple of cards are new baby cards using DP from Maja Designs.  these ones in particular are vintage baby ephemera cards available in store here. flowers are of course Wild orchid crafts and I have also used some fabric daisies which I am hoping to add to the shop today :-)  the little pram die is a memory box die.  Acetate butterfly is one of my own makes and the die cut flying butterfly on the third card is from a Tattered lace die set also available here 

The next card is made using a card topper in the image from Mo Manning.

The next bunch of cards are simple cards with verses on the front.  I tend to mask verses and add others to them so they say what I want (e.g. the last card was a christmas stamp which I masked out the christmas words and then stamp a birthday verse :-)  thanks for stopping by XO

please drop by my online shop I try and stock a good variety of items that you can't get in an everyday craft store XO Tania

Please meet Tilly Fairy.  she is my newest addition to my Saturated Canary library (she has been available for some time and I could drool no longer)  This is my first attempt at coloured hair- I am more a traditionalist when it comes to hair, but thought I would step outside my comfort zone with her :-) The birdhouses are from my new favourite die- Tattered Lace birdhouse row (available here) and I have use the lala lands heart banner die.  paper is from a kaisercraft pad and rosette ribbon is from my stash.  acetate butterfly is made by moi :-)

a card for the new year woohoo!!! Saturated Canary Cerridwen

Good morning! Well it seems like years since I posted a card here! thanks for sticking with me. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with lots of love and laughter. Here's hoping the new year will be prosperous for all :-)

 Well last year ended a bit hard for me... as some might be aware, I suffer from crohn's diease and have been dealing with it for over 20 years now.  Well at the start of December, I had to have an operation to remove the affected bowel.  I am now on the road to recovery, still sore, but it has slowed me enough to do up a couple of cards :-)

This gorgeous image is a discontinued digi from Saturated Canary called Cerridwen.  I think I hit the criteria for this card... my friend wanted for her mum a birthday card.  Her mum's fav colours are purple and green and she loves butterflies and flowers.  I used dies from memory box, tattered lace, joy crafts and magnolia.  flowers are of course WOC- which you can now get from my online store www.acraftersheaven.com.au .  

ok, so on to the important colours:

E 000, 30, 31, 57, 59

BG 70, 72, 75, 78
