Gaily Goes To Grungetown

What can I say? I can't stop trying to make less-neattastic cards.....

I quite liked this one actually :)



The card was made for the Bugaboo mini challenge with a Skelekinz stamp I just bought and I messily edged it with stickles and I think it sooort of worked ;)

I wrapped some matching thin ribbon round the bottom of the backing hoping to make the card look less neat and cutesy which is what i usually do



What do you think? Did it work? Or does it look like a desperate attempt for a neat card maker to be more arty? lol...

I love you!

Here's a really early Valentine for you all...




I made it for the Bugaboo sketch challenge for today, but the sentiment goes out to you all. It isn't easy being isolated here for much of the time and it's difficult to explain really... but it's lovely to be able to post things on t'internet and get feedback where 'normal' people would just use their friends. To illustrate my point... the heating man came round for a repeat visit last week (bad radiators, baaad radiators! lol) and I remembered what he took in his tea as he'd been the *last* person to come and visit...

..I'm sure he left thinking that I was some sort of hermit.. hehe

So *love yous* *hugs* and *mmmwahs* to any of you who take their time to comment on my posts as sometimes it's the only communication I get all day besides Facebook (I love my new phone..even if I can't look at my PC monitor I can now browse The Interweb on my phone!!! wooo... posh! hehe)

Anyway, this was one of my new Bugaboo images ..

(Find her here ... 60 percent off sale still on for a few days! GO GO GO! Code KW696782 lol)

....and my first time I'd put her on a card... I print out many many images (I spoil so many with this stupid shaky hands) and she was lucky enough not to bee tooo spoiled hehe. I decided she'd like to be placed on purple mulberry paper and valentine heart ribbon.. it made her feel special dontchyaknow? :) The sentiment was made so fantastic by use of my scalloped circle nesties (they cut *and* emboss dontchyaknow? Get some! :P )

Here's where I need you though... after taking the photo I decided it needed some more pen round the outside... but should I have left it as it was or do you think it looks better this way? Thanks if you give me any ideas on this...
