Altered Matchbox
Had a go at my first altered matchbox. It is called Gardens. I tried to put a pattern on both sides and on the inside.
Nails
I have found a new love with painting my nails thanks to a blog I follow. Thank you Colette. I have been on ebay and bought some nail stamping plates. ThI did take a photo, but shows too many mistakes (knew I should not have bought that new camera) I will take one when I get them totally right. I have got to find a top coat that will not discolour the white or make the pattern run. I may try to contact Colette to see what top coat she uses although she is in America. I have also tried her nail marbling, and that looks great. Will take a photo next time I try it again.

Christams cards at last
We I have got my finger out at last and have produced some christmas cards. Got some more to photograph yet, but thought I would get a few of them on. Looks very obvious that I love snowman images!

21st Birthday Card
Thought I would do something different with a 21st card.
I needed to do a card for a work mate, so all the office could sign, and I had a brain wave (that's this years brain activity used up). My laptop has a web cam, that my nephews and niece love as it can distort your face they have loads of fun. So instead of signing a card, I did a word card/book and distorted the faces of all that wanted to join in, I even got the bosses on there! I added a few embellishments to some photos of those that did not mind, shows my silly sense of humour.

Me on the left!
The two bosses, one was a little shy I think he liked his head missing!
It was great fun to make, especially trying to get the photos done when Andrea went out to lunch.

Roses
I have made some more roses, for a fellow crafter, she asked for blue. Think I want a bunch of different coloured ones for my house, but bet I do not make any for myself as I just like giving them away!
