Concept/3D cards
Hi
I have very little time to craft lately due to all the hours I have been doing at work but to avoid withdrawel symptoms I decided to make a few concept cards and 3D cards up that were in my stash.
Quick and easy to make and very effective. Ideal for those last minute birthdays.

Recent bits and pieces
I have got some gorgeous Murano glass pendants that I love and finally got round to making them into a necklace I can wear. Cut right back on my jewellery making for now as not sure if I want to progress further at the moment in time.
Because they are for me, I wanted them simple so that the pendants stood out as much as possible. The black pendant is on black velvet cord with black organza ribbon and the green pendant I put on black velvet cord.
As I said very simple but how I wanted them to be.

Biker Chic
My mission was to make a birthday card for my mum to give to her friend. My theme: A Motorbike themed card for a girly girl!! After a lot of deliberation and even more cutting out this is the card I eventually came up with. A tad out of my comfort zone and deffinately a challenge but I and my mum were both happy with it so just hoping the recipient likes it.

April/May Birthdays
I had a few birthdays in April/May
Mums was on the 18th and I made her a bagpuss decoupage I had just got as I know she loved the programme when I was a child.
Then came my sisters (she was 26 on the 26th) and adores Eeyore so this was a no brainer as soon as I found this image in my stash
Then came Dads on 2nd May - For him I tried iris decoupage for the first time after I saw this wild cat design in a local shop. Strange result as it's suppoed to be as if you were looking through a camera and wasn't too sure about it. Jury still out but Dad seemed to like it.
Then last but not least on the 3rd was my husbands birthday - for him I chose Sylvester as he joked one day about me doing him one for his birthday as he loved the sheets when I got them. He thought this was great.
Swaps
I've entered a couple of swaps and here are my takes:
Bunny Atc - This is going to BigbunniesUk for the May ATC draw. Didn't have a clue what to do for this one and was really struggling until my prize came through the door and on one of the stamp sets was a bunny. It was soo cute I was chuffed to use it so soon. Hope she likes.
1-1 Swap - She said she liked purple and I had this gorgeous piece of card in a RAK, just hope she likes it.
Teddy Bears swap - Struggled a little with this one but was happy with the results especially the stamped one.
Sheep ATC and handbag charm - This was just an experiment that I decided to put in with my jewellery swap item with it being a sheep handbag charm
Thanks Pinkpuppy
