Ooh la la - Graphic 45

Hello!

I have fallen in love with Graphic 45 papers!

Here is a card I made using the Couture Collection.

It really looks so much nicer in real life but then so often cards do unless you are a professional photographer.

This is an easel card.

I am particularly pleased with the dress form which I cut with my Silhouette Cameo!

I have been having problems with the cuts especially on the white card I use - the black cuts perfectly though.  

I also removed some of the pieces from the top so as to make less cuts and this helped too.

Here are photos of the outside of the card and the full inside.

Thanks for looking and happy crafting!

Two 'Thank You' cards and one 'Birthday' card

Hello!

I have recently started buying a magazine called 'Australian Simply Cards' again.

I have not bought card magazines for ages but have been very impressed with

their gifts and designs of late.

I have made 3 cards from the paper pack that was a gift in Issue 63.

I must add though that the colors of the glossy pictures in the magazine are quite 

different from the actual paper pack which are much duller.

Here are my cards.  The first 2 are sort of Case-ing, the 3rd my take.

This last card I will enter into IBS Customer Gallery as the words used are from
IBS Chalkboard Birthday

The Outlawz Color Challenge - July 1 2014.

Hello!

Well I am back and I hope for a long time.  Surgery on my shoulders went

very well and I am well on the way to recovery.  I must say though

that it was not major surgery, a small tear in the left one and just

a good clean out on the right, so no slings etc. Still can't lift anything heavy and

have to get hubby to help crank the handle on my cuttlebug lol.

Our sponsor this month is:

So lets get onto the challenge for this week at The Outlawz.
