Old Cards Part III

Here we go again with some more old cards, I did say I was on a blogging spree afterall!
You can, as per usual, click on the images to view them at full size!

I made two of these cards in the same style. One was for my brother (I think), the other for my uncle. Both for their birthdays in 2008.

I think I made this one for my Sister-in-Law's birthday in 2008.


Another one that I made for my friend Lizzy in the states. 2008.


Another one that I made for my Aunt's birthday in 2008.

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