Happy New Year and may your Mojo be a good long lasting one!

Happy New Year to you all! I really hope that 2010 brings you lots of really good things and that New Year/January Mojo doesn't fall into the black hole of crafting that it tends to at this time of year!

Now, my friend Chrissie can guarantee a party every year for her birthday as it's on New Year's Eve! I know, I know, I've made these roses lots, but I do so love them, so to make Chrissie's birthday as far away from Christmas as possible here's the card I made for her. The green pearlescent paper is from Craftwork Cards paper blox, the foliage is a Leone Em and the ribbon from CUL. I also covered the front of the card with some shiny patterned vellum, but can't remember where I got it from.

I'm having an operation on my knee on Monday so I'm really hoping with a couple of weeks off work I'm going to be able to find a comfortable position to keep my knee elevated and craft at the same time.... any tips would be gratefully accepted!

Happy Christmas Crafty Bloggers!

Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you have a wonderful time and your mojo's return for 2010 - they do tend to disappear after Christmas don't they??????

I hope that 2010 is a truely great year for all of you - 2009 was a pretty good one for me, so I'm hoping it's just gonna get better! Thank you to all of you who take time to visit my blog and a bigger thank you to those of you who leave comments - they are really appreciated.

See you all next year!
Love, Juniemoon xx

More football, but not a logo in sight.....

The footballs are cut with the Quickutz die and the lettering is with the Cuttlebug You're Not the Boss of Me alphabet. I hope you can see that I cut the front of the card and joined them together again with the footballs.

Sad I know, but something we have to do...

No one likes having to send these cards and it seems even sadder to have to make them, but hopefully the recipient will take comfort from the love that it was made with. The embossing was done with a Dreamweaver stencil and the black tulle from CUL.

Plain, simple but with love x

Shhh - hope she doesn't peak....

Shh... don't tell her. This is to be her birthday card and it's not until next week, but I just couldn't wait to put it on my blog as I love it so much.

The papers are from SU (gorgeous chocolate pack), the ovals were cut from SU punches and the roses and lillies were from ME - made with my own fair hands - plain white, with a little stickles on the edges of the petals.

Remember shhh.... Mum's the word.....

He's only gawn an won another award!!!!

My mate Kev who works for the Met Police has one ANOTHER award! He works for the bits of the Met that we only see on documentaries on TV. Anyway, I had to make another quick card before he collected his medal. The image was from Mr. Google... the backing paper I made it quickly on the computer and lots of different shades of Bazzill. It was a good excuse to try out the easel card template. Well done Kev!

Yo Me Bro is nearly 50.....

Well, well, well me little Bro will be the big five-O in one year's time. He made me suffer something chronic so I'm just getting warmed up for a whole year's worth of sisterly-brotherly lurve....

Anyway, here's his 50 minus 1 year card. There is only one team in our family - I'm sure I don't need to mention their name. The basic design was one I'd taken a picture of somewhere, quite sometime ago (it was a girly pink one in the photo). The plain blue is Bazzill and the peel offs are Anita's I believe. Looking at it again I think I may put some dots around the small logos to bring them out a bit more.
