Merry


A little about me well..... I have been crafting forever as my Mum is a very crafty person, so I have grown up with it.  I really got into cardmaking about 15 years ago and my poor sewing machine has been shoved to the side so that I can use the space to store all my papers.  Discovering blogging at the end of 2008 has opened up a whole new world to me as there is so much inspiration that people share.  So now my time is shared between cardmaking and blogging.

Guess what Merry has picked for Flashback Friday 18.0?

First Owl

**woot woot**

Here's Merry's adorable owls:


Super CUTE!!!! Make sure you pop over to her blog:  MerryMade Cards and Crafts 


Guess who else is joining us?  Ryann of All These Things!


I'm soooo lovin' this challenge...isn't Ryann's card a-dorable?!!!  Make sure you check out her blog too:  All These Things

Here's my owlie card!


This is circa June 2008!!!!!  Ahhhh....vintage Kim Hughes teamed up with A Muse paper...I still love her blue eyeshadow!

Soooooo.....dig into those bloggie archives for your first owl project...I can't wait to see them!!!!
