15th Birthday Card using Tagxedo Word Cloud

15th Birthday Card using Tagxedo Word Cloud inspired by the one on here and using instructions similar to those provided by Just Jimjams here
http://just-jimjams.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/tagxedo-theme-tones.html.

Now for some reason these didn't exactly work for me so I had to tweak them and after hours and hours, well days actually lol, I finally worked out a way to do it. I also used a different font for this card.

Thank You Using Tagul

Great friend and neighbour gave his time and hard effort free of charge to help put on a new garage roof which saved us an awful lot of money. In exchange all he got was a bacon butty every morning, some lunch and as many brews as he wanted. The job turned out to be so much bigger than anticipated (don't they always?) and took so much longer. So I had a word on the QT with his wife and insisted that he must have something in return so at her suggestion we bought him a beautiful acer and I made this card.

Just goes to show there really are some really special people out there. xx

Tim Holtz/Sizzix Bird Cage Die & Embossing Folder

Birthday card for my closest friend.





Now I know I'm way behind with this die and it was out yonks ago but it came up second hand on Ebay (don't you just love Ebay?!) for a bargain price with free postage! Well it would have been rude not to buy it there and then. Lol. And the little bird cage charms are just sooooo cute! The bird is actually carrying the charm but you can't see the gold thread in the picture.

Paper Embroidery

Have a friends birthday coming up so needed to create a card. Wanted to keep it simple as my migraines and vertigo have been playing up lately.

For future reference, I would recommend just buying one! Especially when you have a furry friend that keeps having a swipe at the thread! Lol. xx

Breast Cancer Campaign Card

To give to a friend and neighbour who has recently been diagnosed. The card has a receipt inside for a donation to the cause instead of taking a bunch of flowers.

Simply made with an embossing folder and die cuts.

Fathers Day Card

Not exactly inspiring but my migraines are in residence with a vengence and a bout of vertigo!

Also this is not the card I'd planned but when it came to printing text on card on the super duper new all in one wireless printer/scanner/photocopier/teamaker it wouldn't do it! Tried thinner card. Still wouldn't take it.

Is it unreasonable to expect an all new singing/dancing printer that's at least 8 years newer than the last model to do all the stuff the old model did and more? Well, it would seem it is. Apparently the new all in one printers don't like card!!!

And breathe..................
