Well I have made you wait too long for this, I am such a naughty girl making hints and making you wait. I have taken since Tuesday to make this
EASEL CARD, which I am going to enter into
The Secret Crafter challenge, which is asking for these cards. I cannot follow instructions very well, also my computer does not work in the shed, so I was running up and down re-watching a video that I found on you tube.....but I refused to give up, I used the Snowman papers that I bought a while back and will probably use this for my oldest sons Xmas card as he has been asking for a kilt.....so there it is on the card...LOL. I used the raised snow to keep the card up, I hope you like it and I apologise for being naughty......
I also made a card for
Penny Black Saturday challenge, they wanted
Song Lyrics as a theme, so I used my Jingle Bell stamp from Popcorn Bears set and teamed it up with these gorgeous PB mice, singing their hearts out, I inked the edges with various Alchohol inks, think I am struggling with this technique, not came out as good as I had hoped. I kept the card simple trying in my mind to make a Curtained Stage with velums......mm not sure if it worked out as well as I had hoped, but hope you like it. I think I went to far with the liquid embossing, to gloss up the keyboard....
Last but most certainly not least
Cheryl my great mate at Sophisticats gave me a
Kreative Blogger Award, she is such an inspiration to me, and I hope that you all pop over and leave some comments on her stunning creations.....thanks Cheryl, I have decided to pass this award onto 5 blogging buddies who have supported me along the way and never fail to make an appearance on my blog, their comments are so important, as are all of you, I know I am struggling to keep up with everyone at the minute, but I promise you that you are all very important to me.....the people I have choosen are
- Wilma
- Jan
- Julia
- Sari
- Janet
Thanks again for popping by, I am sorry that this is such a large post, and hope you have not fallen asleep, bored out off your minds....LOL, have a great Friday, I am off to try and catch up with some off you. Hugs Avril xxxx

Thanks so much honey for thinking of me, so kind of you. I love your easel card, I keep meaning to do one and I admire your perseverance in running back and forth to your shed! It was worth it though as it's a gorgeous card.
