My name is Michelle Lancaster and I live in Liverpool, Merseyside. I live with my partner Col who is my best friend as well. We have a little boy together called Brandon and he is two. He is very cute with big blue eyes and a very mischevious personality. I have a cat called Suki who is quite old now and I love her to bits. I love making cards, papercrafts, cross stitch, reading and films.

Vintage White Roses Card


White roses are my absolute favourite flower. I got this image from crafts u print to enter their £1,000 competition. I'm not winning it, but I'm not coming last either :)
Any way I took inspiration from this card from a picture hanging up in our living room. The card is very similar to this painting only the painting doesn't have the eyelets! The background was torn, then stamped with a script cuttlebug folder and then inked with brown to make it look old.

Twighlight Birthday Card



Twilight is a fantastic film and here I have made up two cards - I really love the Bella and Edward one!

Penny Black Card for Sister


This card was a commission and I used a Penny Black rubber stamp, painted with watercolour pencils. The background is made up of cuttlebug embossed red paper and Sarah Knight paper. Thanks for looking.

A Very Beautiful Card and RAK.....


........ from my lovely friend Natalie.
It looks like she has sewn on each sequin and bead around the circle that the fairy sits on. Natalie is very talented with a unique and individual style that comes through on her cards. I have had a few cards from her and have been so impressed each time.
The RAK contains gorgeous papers, sequins, beads, ribbons and buttons. All extremely pretty.

Jewellery Gift and Box on behalf of DS Brandon



My fella made this wonderful box as a present from my DS Brandon and inside were two little bags with mother of pearl beads and sterling silver findings for me to make up into a bracelet and earrings as shown in the second picture. By the way, the picture on the left of the box, Brandon looks like he’s being aggressive, but he is actually dancing to a children’s tune on Nickelodean LOL

Heat Embossed ATC's


I made these two ATCs for a swap in August over on the CB Forum. You could do whatever you wanted to do but you could use no white. I used some beautiful crown and peacock paper that I won in the MOTM prize over on CB and then set the corners with eyelets. I then heat embossed a Laura Ashley stamp onto a scalloped oval. I was quite pleased with how these came out.

A few Cards





Evening everyone - three cards I did - the mouse running away with the ice cream and the popcorn the bear pyramage I did for my friend (1 from me and of course 1 from Brandon). The monkeys in the boat one I did with a stamp I had won as part of my prize for MOTM and I followed a sketch for this one, just altered it a little. I made the embellishment from a felt scalloped die cut and sewed a button on it (just to look a little different for a change) - hope you like and thanks for looking.

Here kitty kitty - put your cursor on him and he will purr and meow !
