This is my first card as a Design Team member for Dawn's Crafty Cards & Friends.  As the theme was 'Anything Goes' thought I would make use of this lovely stamp which was given to me by Dawn.  The stamp decided that the rest of the card needed to be black and white so I embossed the background and cut 2 borders with the Persian Spellbinder dies and mounted this onto some black card.  I cut a butterfly from the Heartfelt Creation dies and added a nice big black bow with a Dazzler in the middle and 2 black stick pins.  I then mounted it all on to a white 8x8 card.

This is a card I have made for my nephew and his fiancee for their wedding on 28th July this year.  When you slip the band off, there is a little box inside where I have put some gift vouchers for them.  I think this kind of card is ideal for small gifts and vouchers.  Creative Expressions have a worksheet on their website showing how to make this card.

This is my friend's dog Alfie, I designed this card using Craft Artist Professional, a completely flat card, just what will be needed with the cost of postage this year!!!

First Christmas card made this year!  Of course I had to use my lovely Spellbinders for it!http://www.papercraftjunkies.com/

These are the cards I have made this week!  This card is used with the new Sue Wilson Spellbinder Lacey Dies and the new Dazzler's.  I emailed in to Create and Craft and sent them a photo of this card so it has been on the TV!!!!  It was lucky enough to be picked out of the 'spotty potty' to win me one of Julia Watts' lovely cards!

I have had a go at some stamping this week too as you will see below.  I am trying hard to learn how to colour in, sometimes it works, othertimes it looks like a 2 year old has done it but as they say 'practice makes perfect'. 

I would appreciate your comments, good or bad I don't mind!  Love Jean x
