I've been making things all my life, love trying new techniques and now I've added quilting to the list. Life has changed since I discovered blogging and a whole new world of art and crafts. If I don't make something regularly I get twitchy and bad tempered!

Birthday cards
Here are a couple of cards I made recently. The first layout has been posted before but it looks very different with a colour change and the numbers added. The dies are Memory Box. I've covered the numbers with gold UTEE and only partially melted it.
For this one I've used a Gecko Galz collage sheet, corrugated card with gesso spread across it, a Spellbinders label die, Tim Holtz rosette and a couple of pieces of paper from my stash.
They are very different but I love them both. I do like the effect of partially melted gold UTEE. I treated myself to a few Tim Holtz Distress Markers the other day. I think they are going to be very useful.
Great cards, Carol - I especially love the second one, fabulous corrugated texture, and those beautiful delicate images with the kraft papers... yum! Alison x

two very different cards but both fab....like the partially melted EP on the numbers, adds a bit of texture/interest.
Gorgeous cards, love the wy you've done the 80 xx
Very nice cards, both. I agree the fist one looks completely different using another colour.
Great elements on the second.
Oooh fab cards, love the 2nd one.

A couple of lovely cards Carol. I love the corrugated card on the second one and the lovely GG image.
