Nightmare before Christmas Valentines day card

Haven't made this to send to anyone (I'm VERY happy being single) and I haven't made it for anyone else to give. I made it because I wanted to ...

Dies used -
Impression Obsession - Heart Stems
Nini's Things - Flourish Heat Frame
Cheery Lynn - Chicken Wire Frame

Papers used have been in my stash for AGES so I won't bother listing them as they are no longer available.

The sentiment inside the card is called "Anything Else" by Lang Leav

The large hearts on the front and inside of card are hand cut.

Took my inspiration from this card. Sorry don't have the link!

Take care and keep smiling :)

Altered Wooden Heart Picture Frame

Wanted to test out Tim Holtz Distress and Rock candy crackle paint, so decided to try it out on this frame (it only cost £1.50) before I used it on a bigger project. It didn't work as I'd hoped (the crackle paint is falling off !!!) but I have another of these frames and will try a different method and see if it is any better. I did however finish the frame off, not that I have a use for it :) ...

Valentines Day Card - House Mouse

Long time no blog !!! But I have been crafting away like a little busy little bee, and here is one of my efforts. I made this Valentines card for my son to give to his girlfriend. I decided on something a little different from the usual Valentines, taking into account that my son and his girlfriend live about 200 miles apart and don't get to see each other as much as they'd like. But saying that my son will be moving down to London (where his girlfriend lives) in the summer and then I won't see him so much :o( Oh well I can always get on the train and visit them :o) ...

Waaaay to many details on this card to list but I will tell you I used my Grand Caliber machine and HUUUUUGE circle nestabilities. Hope you all have a lovely Valentines day.

Take care & keep smiling :o)
