Penguins galore today

Erica Martyn showcased two new characters today on QVC and there is a competition running to name them. This reminded me of my Keyper toys called Kazoo (baby) and the adult is called Keyboard. I thought I would share a photo just took of Kazoo as I have given him a wash. My husband threatened me that if I didn't he would end up in a bin, how could he? I will look forward to the penguin products coming out hopefully soon??

Matryoshka doll card No.1

I have been wanting to make a card using Matryoshka Dolls imagery for ages, and now I've done it I probably won't be able to stop.
It started with a really cool article in Quick & Crafty!'s Xmas special 2008 magazine (issue 53). Then a few months ago I bought some gift wrap in a local gift store that had the dolls on. It is credited with - The Medici Society Limited. I also have got a greeting card bought from paperchase with a badge on it. There seems to be so many products out there too, whether for crafting or gifts and home ware.....just so much inspiration.




I have used decoupage technique for the doll and matted some Tea-bag folded medallions using paperchase paper and HOTP card stock. For the greeting I put a free magazine topper onto a piece of paper from Anita's essential a5 pad. The blank is from a qvc Xmas kit.

Another anniv. card

I have had to make another anniv. card in a hurry, so chose to work from an idea had back in March. It is for a golden wedding anniv. and uses foil type paper on a gold card blank.
