Bits and Pieces

Hi everyone. We've got guests coming for dinner in 15 minutes so I'm just going to have to make this quick. I've made a few cards in the last couple of days that I'd like to share.

  

My mother has given me the ultimatum (?) to make lots of pretty cards this week so she can show off to my aunt LOL So I'm going to be casing a lot of pretty cards I've been eyeing for some time now.

  

Anyway, the cards... I have been trying to resist using my mist too much, but this first card needed that extra touch hehe. It's just a plain white cardstock with Dewey mist over it for the background. Then some cloud die cuts and Fly Away plane and voila! I'm waiting for the day my Fly Away die arrives on my doorstep so I don't have to cut it by hand!!!

   

      

Here's one fresh off my desk-space. I wish I had some neutral buttons! Only just now I have realised I don't have any basic colours for buttons!!! So I had to coordinate it with the base cardstock.

  

  

    And one more for good measure. This one's a case of Nichole Heady's card that I love so much. My Banner Builder set needed some more love recently.

    

 

Ok, better get going. That was some serious speed blogging! Thanks for coming by :)
