Mixed batch

This is a truly terrible card! However I refuse to give up so I have dissected it and am trying to make some decent cards with the individual components. Watch this space! It can only get better!






This is the first scrapbook page I've made in ages. I'm always surprised at how scrapping and cardmaking are like chalk and cheese and use very different skills.






I was feeling really low today and the result is this very melancholic card. I somehow felt it could almost be a sympathy card. The sentiment isn't stuck down and the jury's still out on that one. The stamp is actually Tilda with Chicks but I covered the chicks with flowers.

  1. Sorry you're felling a it low. I can't see anything wrong with your first card at all but if you're not happy with it then dissect away. I love your last card and thought it was quite cheery. Weird how different people see different things eh!

  2. Hey, hope you are feeling better tomorrow. I think you are being too hard on your cards, I think both of them are great. I know what it is like when you're not happy with something though, so if you feel you have to play around with it until you're happy, you do so! I love the colours of your scrapbook page, they are very pretty. x

  3. I think both the cards are fab. I love the first one, it looks like so much work as gone into it. Try putting it away for a day or so and then look at it again and I am sure you will feel different. I also love the other card, the image is great and I love how you have adapted it with flowers. I think it is pretty and not at all melancholic. I also love the colours on your scrapbook page and the way you have laid out the pictures. Don't put yourself down - your creations are always wonderful xx

  4. Gorgeous cards, so pretty and so much work has gone into making them. The top one is my fave, I love the colours so bright and cheery.I love the way you have used the scalloped circle punch for the photos on your scrapbook page. Keep up the good work and don't be too hard on yourself. xx

  7. I love both cards, nps, I can't do mult-layering like you can, the second one is lovely as it's quite dreamy in those shades of blue/green and the image goes so well. We are all our worst critics.
