2010 Card a Day Challenge - Card #004

Tonight I have kept my 'Card a Day Challenge' simple. I used only pink and blue colour scheme with the exception of my brad, which is a silver filigree from Stampin' Up. I love the colours and I absolutely love my cuttlebug die cut & embossing butterfly set.  I would have to say that pink is now probably my favourite colour and I love it with blue and with brown. Here is my very simple card, and with no stamping.

2010 Card a Day Challenge - Card #003

In line with my 'Card a Day Challenge' theme - cards with brads - I made this card. I've had this stamp set for a little while and had not yet used it. I really like the colours and even though I have added flowers, I think this card is still suitable for a guy.

2010 Card a Day Challenge - Card #002

Today I decided to make my 'Card a Day Challenge' card early. The reason for this is that I am going to see a girlfriend who has just finished building her house, so I'm giving her this card with a Peace Lilly plant as a house warming gift.  I'm really happy with this card, I think the colours are beautiful.  I have decided that my 'Card a Day Challenge' theme for this week is cards made with brads. I so love these brads from the SU 2009 Spring Mini.

2010 Card a Day Challenge - Card #001

One of my goals for 2010 is to make a card a day. I've left it a bit late for today, but I still made the time to make a card. My theme, so to speak, was wanting to make a card with brads. This was based on the Yahoo group Late Night Stampers Challenge #51. However, I didn't use all current SU products, the brads I used were from the Spring Mini which finished 30 Nov 2009.  I'm really happy with the card I made.

2010 Birthday Card - Leanne

The other day my girlfriend Nic came round for a craft session to learn to make the Never-ending flip card that I had made for her birthday in 2009.  Nic made a card for her father-in-law and I made this birthday card for my girlfriend Leanne, whose birthday is today, 1 January.

Cards made for Secret Santa 2009

The team that I'm in at work decided to do a Secret Santa. The gift was to cost no more than $10. You could either purchase a gift for $10 or make something using materials to the value of $10. As I love craft, I decided that I would make some cards, using materials up to the value of $10. To assist me with this, I found a OSW inspired by Sandra Wingate of Paper, Pansies and Pachyderms blog. I also decided, because I left it so late, that I would only make cards up until midnight. I was starting at 9pm, and I figured midnight was late enough since I had to work the next day and I wasn't feeling very well.  Anyway, I managed to make six cards.  Below are the cards I made, which I'm really happy with and the person who received my Secret Santa was also very happy.
