The first is a card to just say 'hey'; a how-are-you-doing, I'm-wishing-you-lived-nearer kind of a card. I wanted a nice, simple design for this one (my cards can get way too fussy sometimes), so I got my inspiration from a sketch at Twisted Sketches, you can see their post and the DT's cards here. Here's the sketch and my take on it:
The second card is one uses inspiration from a few places. The first was from a lady named Alison, I found her blog Lime Green Life via the Copy & Paste blog last weekend. I saw this fabulous robot she'd appliqued (see her post here):
and I asked her permission to 'copy and paste' the cute little guy. She said yes so I made my own robot from card, wire and a bead:
Then I just needed inspiration for the card itself. I had seen 'Claire's Weekly Challenge' at DoCrafts.com, so I took the colour scheme and the idea of squiggled rope from her photo of boats, turning the rope into tangled wire to fit the robot theme:
Finally, the quote 'we are all individuals' is one of my fave bits from the film 'Life of Brian' (clip here), and I have it on a postcard on my craft room wall so it jumped to mind when finishing off the card!
I'm not sure who I'm going to send these to yet, but hopefully when I've decided they'll make the recipients smile!

The rain has just started here.And our boiler has broken down, so we're starting to feel the chill. Maybe the sun will come out for the weekend
