Something New

October Reloaded

Hello faithful bloggers!

Well, it's October, and after my reappearance the other week I am pumped and ready to fire up all the creativity I can muster once again. A friend had a large order for various greeting cards, and with nothing but time and a lot of scrapbooking materials I was more than willing to oblige. Here are the results of the week. Enjoy!

Hello There!

Well, I'm back to continue my poor, long neglected blog. Many things can account for the fact that it has been nearly 8 months since my last entry. Wow what an amazing year it has been already! It seems like only a few weeks since I was standing on the beach in a borrowed jacket, counting down the seconds until 2012. I have made more than two cards this year, but they're not up either because I forgot to take a picture before I gave them away, I thought they were horrible, didn't have the time to blog them, take your pick. However I finally have found an opportunity (Horray!). The card was made for a friend of mine who was going through a rough time. I'm glad to say she found it greatly encouraging, especially since it was aided by chocolates ;). I hope you enjoy it!

A Princess Party

Today is the birthday party of one of my best friends. She is turning 13, and to celebrate, she's having a princess party! When making the card, I was faced with the question I always come across when making birthday cards. Should I make it to match the theme of the party, or random? I finally decided that I would do a mix of both. The colours on the card are elegant and pretty, fit for a princess. The style however, is more fun and carnival.

I'm pleased to say she loved the card and the gift we bought her, a delicate teacup with painted roses. I wrapped the present accordingly.

Same, Same... But Different

 Some people prefer simple. Some people prefer busy. Some prefer elegant and thin, while others prefer fun and chunky. Everyone has a differnet preference, because everyone has a different personality, so when trying to make the perfect card for someone, it's important that you know theirs. In this post I have made a range of different cards, but all with the same pattern and inscription. My personal favourite is number four, plain and simple, but elegant nonetheless. That's my preference however, what's yours?
