Lilac Avenue

Don't fall down with shock people, I'm here again. This time with some Lilac Avenue cards that I have finally finished. Once again I used Leslie's idea and pre made kits and had the bases done and only need to add the toppers and ribbons. The post that I've highlighted is actually the post i was looking for yesterday to put in my Blue Awning blurb. The sketch I've used here on the square and A5 cards are based on this card by Sherry Cheever which I used to make this card.
These cards use a mixture of different companies items as with my Blue Awning cards. I love doing this, mixing the different products I have. That way at least I use them.
As much as I am a SU demo, I love all the products out there and can't help but buy them too.
Already one of these cards is spoken for so I must be doing something right don't you think?
I won't go into too much detail, I think most you will recognise the components used to make these cards.
Have a wonderful afternoon everyone and take care.

Christmas Past

Yep, more Christmas cards. I actually love making Christmas cards and always, always leave it to the last minute to do them. Every year I'm determined not to do that but it always happens.
Yesterday (Monday) was spent with a friend of mine who came down to help me tidy my craft room. I had moved all my sewing and cross stitch items into the spare room cupboards and so had that part of the work done. Thank goodness. It took the whole day but I can now see the floor (because all the stash is in the cupboards now), have tidy and neat shelves and I know where things are.

On Friday and Saturday I managed to make these cards while out crafting both days. lol
All four have been 'cased' from a lady called Debbie Olson, a very clever lady who did a series of Graphic 45 cards, part one and part two. I would wholeheartedly like to thank her for making these cards because I just love them. I did try to make them a little different but that was difficult because I loved the originals so much.
The photos have picked up the light on the Swarovski Rhinestones that I used, well I hope so anyway. My Bow Easy was used and the ribbon used on the bottom cards is gorgeous silk ribbon. I can't put the link to the silk ribbon on here but I can email it to you.
Hope you like these cards çause I have more of them to do yet. lol
Thanks for looking and all your wonderful comments that I know take time to leave. Very much appreciated.
