Crafty Cardmakers 36 - First and latest or greatest 3rd entry

Yet another entry for Crafty Cardmakers 36 first and latest or greatest.

This was my very first stamp and I used pearlescent paints then cut out the image to mount onto the card.

This is one of my favourite stamped cards made earlier this year, this time I used Tim Holtz distressing inks :o)

Crafty Cardmakers 36 - First and latest or greatest 2nd entry

This was my first ever punchart card, made in 2006, although I would hesitate to call it art LOL.

I am offering it, along with the one below, as my second entry into Crafty Cardmakers 36 first and latest or greatest.

This one is my latest punchart card made in September this year. I have since added a sentiment and gave it to a friend for her wedding anniversay.

There are so many more sophisticated tools for us to play with today :o)

You have Wishcraft to thank for this..... + Crafty Cardmakers 36

.....utter rubbish LOL.

I cannot believe that I made these but unfortunately I did when I first started card making. Lisa wanted to see my first card and fortunately I haven't got a pic of those tentative efforts in 2005, this is my earliest photograph of anything made by me!

Even back then I was using my own photographs but to abysmal effect! I am hanging my head in shame and would never have inflicted them onto you all if Lisa hadn't begged me to! Lisa, you have a lot to answer for LOL.

I am glad I kept them though because looking back on them now shows me how I have developed since 2006, thank goodness!

Any how, abysmal or not, I am entering it into Crafty Cardmakers 36 mega Christmas challenge - first and latest or greatest along with this 2010 Christmas card using my favourite winter photograph which I took at Elvaston Castle Country Park. I thought I would like to show you how I can use my own photographs to better effect nowadays :o)
