Here is my latest card. I was asked to make a 50th birthday card for a male who likes caravan holidays, barbecues and his 2 cocker spaniels. And this is the result.

It was made using 'The Little Book of Sports, Hobbies and Pastimes' together with a gold mirri mat and some green paper I had in my stash. The barbecue was a bit of a cheat. I didn't have anything suitable so I googled an image, cut it out and added it to the card. The dogs are from the 'Jolee' Sticker range. Over the years I have amassed a large number of these as every time we have been to America I come back with more. I knew they would come in useful one day. Finally I added '50' to the card, cut out of green and gold mirri and slightly offset.

Initially I was rather panicked about what to do but am pleased to say the card has gone down well.

As its World Card Making Day and I haven't blogged for ever I thought today would be a good day to try to get back into it.

I have made a set of Halloween ATC cards using a ' A Year in Cards' By Ella's Design. I have had this CD for a number of years and I'm surprised it hasn't worn out as I love the images on it.

My crafting mojo has gone on a long holiday and I have struggled this year to 'get into it'. So I suppose this is a start, just need to continue. Here's hoping!
