Reminiscing part 2



Well looking at all my other cards made me want to find the my disc and have a proper look and I wanted to share a few with you.... I hope you dont mind!!


<------ An iris (or fancy fold) Wedding cake designed by the very talented Ingrid McCracken :D I was commissioned to do this card and it took ages. Didnt know what to charge for it and got $5. It was A5 size on the front. Still dont know about pricing but I did feel a little ripped off.



This card was for Brittany who was a bit sad. Have to find if I still have that image it is absolutely adorable!!! The corners are teabag folds. -------->






<---- Love the cheeky monkey 3d - have to find these again!!!!!




And lastly an Iris folded pair of thongs (or flip flops in other countries) I beaded the strap for a summery look....





Not too sure if they get bigger if you click on them - most probably not :( Live and learn I guess..... I used to save them small to save space on the forums I posted them on (if I was ever brave enough to do so...) I know now to do things different but size is still a haunting factor for me - I dont know who is on dial up and who isnt....... Anyway enough of my prattling on - oh I HAVE to show you this card it was the highlight of my cards when I started - I designed the whole thing myself and drew all the elements. Although it got NO posts on the forum and it made me pretty sad (and slightly discouraged....) I love it and would like to share it with you today.



Have a wonderful day everybody

.....lovely cards you have made in the past, Hev - isn't it great fun looking at them?
I just love the one you designed and made ALL the elements for - very clever....you should use your drawing skills more often. Thanks for sharing.
