Cat Card...

Another easy and fun card to make especially for the cat people that you know.  Add any sentiment into the banner box that suits the occasion and the recipient and send it with love.

Decorate the card with as much or as little embellishment as you have in your "Stash"

There are lots of fun and novelty cards to make on the website  and  this  Cat Card  is just one of many.

The link will take you to the page and they are easy enough for children to follow on their own.

They may use up all your craft space,  but if it uses up  some of  the scraps that you have lying around ... aaaaaand it keeps them occupied for  two or three hours then I am sure you won't mind.

Birdie Card

Continuing the theme of fun cards here is one for any occasion. Again just punched or die cut shapes have been put to good use to crreate this    Bird Card  and it is an excellent way to use up all your odd scraps.

The beautiful pink  backing paper is from the Love and Cherish CD from   PolkaDoodles 

The cards have been kept very simple and easy to do so that children ... who love to craft ... can make these for them selves.

Making cards with kids is an excellent way to keep them occupied in the summer holidays when you have that rainy day and they are bored .... and driving you crazy!!

Get out those punches or die cut shapes and let them and their imagination loose and see what they come up with for themselves.

Car Card...

Do you know someone about to take their driving test?   And are you looking for a card that will bring a smile to their face.?

If you do then it's time to get out those punched shapes again and get to work.

The different sized circles have been cut to make  this   Car Card  and the sentiment can be about any occasion you wish.

How about this for celebrating someones "Milestone" birthday ... you know the ones I mean the ones you would rather forget !!

Choose your recipient carefully though so as not to cause offence ... but I am sure that you will know who will take it in the manner it was intended.

Add some small red, amber and green circles for traffic lights and find a verse for the inside that also suits your intended victim .... er!  recipient.

Apple Card ...

Here is another fun card that would suit many occasions and from the   Novelty Cards   that are on the website.

This   Apple Card     would be sure to cheer up someone  who is feeling under the weather and all it takes are some circle punched shapes and a little imagination.

Or how about this one at the end of term ... and at least the apple won't go bad  and that worm wouldn't frighten anybody.... no matter how much they hate the wriggly things

My Film Crew ...

Two posts in one day but I couldn't resist telling you this ...

Yesterday I made another film ... with my trusty crew at the ready with his camera.  We got everything set up  and  along he came to film and he was wearing a baseball cap.

It took us the morning to  get it all done properly and once the filming was done we had a cup of coffee and chatted for a while ... then off  he went to edit.

A little while later he came back and said that he was  extremely dissapointed  with me .... I asked "Why????"

He said that he had done a whole film, had a cup of coffee with me, chatted and he said "You even flicked the rim of the baseball cap ... and not once have you noticed the writing"

So my Film Crew was in a strop and all I could do was laugh and laugh .... this is his new hat ... all embroidered.

He wore it all day and says he is  taking it on holiday with him too.

So I just wanted to share that with you as my film crew is the best in the world   and this is he ....     Drum Roll please !!

May I present to you
