Lazy crafter

Hi its been a week or two since my last blog post,
ive been really poorly the past couple of weeks with a cold not to mention juggling a 7 year old and a newborn baby.
I hope to do some more crafting over the easter holidays as i won't have the long 4 mile walk school run to do for a couple of weeks.
I have however ordered some new crafty goodies such as
some peel off sentiments
Twinkling h20 paints
Paper piercing ruler
Some brown kraft card blanks
And a few freebies from magazines including a bow maker and a stamp set all which i hope to be using soon in the meantime here are a few photos of some cards i made a while back that i found the pictures for

Vintage style butterfly card

This is a card I made today using some leftover butterfly embellishments that I had, i think that the colours of the gold and blue look really nice together, I tore some of the papers and used a tim holtz distress ink on it.
I shaped the butterfly wings by curling them on my scissors to give them a bit more dimension.

Starbucks card

Today i set myself a challenge to make a card using the leftover cup and wrapper from my starbucks coffee and a brown paper bag, my husband laughed at me when i said i was going to do this and thought that i was joking ....
here it is.

i love it i don't think i will be able to give this one away but it makes me think of what else i can make using rubbish

Paint fusion card

I made a beautiful card using my sheena dougalss paint fusion stamps and paints, I even learned how to do the crackle technique too. The card blank was made by using my spellbinders dies to create a lovely shaped card.
Here is the result I am very pleased with it
