Walk the Plank

Avast me hearties. 

I've been making cards with the Lili of the Valley Art Pads this week to speed up my card making a little.  It's not been entirely successful since I've only done four cards in two days :) but I'm having fun, and my mojo is being enticed back gradually.

Re-Cycling

Hello Peeps.

Just a quick post to show the birthday card I made for my youngest nephew Connor.

I've had an old Ordinance Survey map of North Cornwall lying around for ages, just waiting to be recycled for crafty purposes. I've spent many a happy hour wandering car boot sales looking for stuff I can make use of in my cards, but this is actually a much used map of my Dad's (miss you Dad x).

Anyway, before I start getting teary over an old piece of paper, here's what else I used:-
An image from the Action Time Art Pad  by LOTV.

Sentiments stamped with Handwritten Phrases by LOTV (I chopped and changed a few around to get the wording I wanted)

Arrows hand cut from grey card

Paper from Always and Forever - Solids Paper Pad pack by LOTV

Sizzix Texture Fades Embossing Folder -Notebook
Old Paper Distress Ink
  Viva Tree die by Poppystamps & white card

Brown card

Buttons from stash

That's all for now folks, I'll be back soon (possibly with a 'Joy Fold' card which I'm looking forward to making at card club tomorrow).

Thanks for stopping by, Katrina x
