Old Cards Part I

Ok, so I thought I should at least post pics of some old cards I made.

Be warned though, the early cards are pretty dire and the quality of the pictures on the older cards isn't all that great either, I have since got a better camera though so you should notice the quality improve as the picture progress lol

I will also post some Cross-Stitching stuff soon too.

This is a Mother's Day card, obviously, that I made for my Mum, in 2007

I made this for one of my Aunt's birthday. 2007

This one was made for ? (sorry I forgot who, I thought it was my brother, Steven but that would conflict with another card lol) in 2007.

This one was made for my friend Liz, in the states. 2007

One for my brother, for his 19th birthday in 2007.

I will post some more shortly. It takes a while to type up the recipes, especially if the card/s in question were made 2 years ago lol and I have a pretty bad memory. Thankfully I tend to buy all my crafting goodies from madaboutcards.co.uk so it does make it a little easier lol.

I might post a few of my cross-stitching in between my card makes :)
