Actually I found one more set that I consider “old” 😉
I wanted to use those lovely b&w pictures, so I simply drew some doodles around them, and added a little bit of embellishments.
Enjoy!

This is the last old set of mine that I’m showing you.
“Old” doesn’t mean that they’ve been all made long ago, in fact they’re just about a month or so old.
My techniques and the range of materials that I used, changed a lot along the way though, thanks to a lot of reading and a supply of some much needed stuff. And so did change the cards.
I decided to retain all the previous entries for the future reference though, even if some of them are awful lol! It might be fun to look and compare them in a couple of months time
The cards that I showed you so far might then be considered “newbies”, while from now on I’ll be perfecting my skills until I’m satisfied with the outcome every time I make a new card.
*thinking to herself when, and IF it ever happens, haha*
But now on to the set:

Thanks for popping in,

Today I’m showing you a pair of simple cards with a little touch of shimmer.
This was my first experiment with other than a standard card opening, and a pretty “shy” one lol.
It’s another old set of mine, might I add. I should stop doing this, as soon I’ll resent looking at all this rough work 😛
I’m afraid the quality of photos quite poor here too, for what I apologize.
(the sentiment in the second card says “happy birthday” - it’s just a piece of confetti, and the butterfly - another confetti piece - is glued to a little mirror, hence the blue reflection)

Okay, so it has been a while, but I’ve got my study room finally done! Looking at the cozy space with plenty of room to work, and all my supplies finally sorted neatly around, so they finally come handy without too much fuss, I cannot believe how I could put up with all that mess previously! 😛
I haven’t had much time for scrapping in the last few days, but I still even didn’t get around taking the photos of the cards that I created lately.
Yet since I got myself a juicy bit of scrapbooking supplies and haven’t yet had a chance to play with them, I suspect that I’ll do my best to find the time!

The two sets that I’m going to show you today are actually the first ones that I made, when I got hooked on cardmaking. Maybe except from a few singles that I created before, for different occasions.
As I look at them and I see that so much changed since then lol!
I’m still quite happy with the overall feel to them though - they’re simple, but simplicity is sometimes the key to a successful card.
I incorporated bits of fabric here and there - I think fabric is a wonderful, versatile addition to a card. It would often give a more textured look than a paper, that often strives itself to imitate the attractive texture that certain fabrics have.
Enjoy!

We’ve got a complete makeover madness in the house right now, that’s why it’s been a few days since I last posted. And this situation is going to be prolonged yet for a while more, I’m afraid…

I’ve been trying to find some time for a daily cardmaking, but now it just got too difficult, as we just started moving stuff out of the study, which is next in line

I’m still feeding you with the “old” sets, that I gradually now find more & more untidy lol.
My adventure with scrapbooking is still relatively short, but I learn a lot every day, and as I find out about some techniques, useful tools and various “essentials”, my cards get a lot neater. They’re still waiting to be photographed though, and this will not happen too soon.
*rolls eyes*

Now it’s time for me to roll my sleeves up and get some more donkey work done, and for you I’ve got a quick set of cards.
Enjoy!

Today I’d like to share with you the set that I made with the beautiful “Bee Mine” kit by Bluedream Designs and a few more scraps and goodies that I found on the net (I’m sorry I don’t remember where…)
All these papers have a really nice fabric texture to them!
Enjoy!
