****** Make a wish *******

I'm really pleased with this card. We all really like teeny weeny things in our house and I found this tiny little bottle. I filled it up with glitter and put in on torn mulberry paper. I then dotted the glitter around the card and used my tiny pink stars too. It's for my ex niece who's 11 today. My children are going with their Father and his wife to visit my ex in-laws this bank holiday weekend because, actually, there are three generations all born on the same day .. my ex father in law, his son and his granddaughter all born on may 22nd .. how clever is that!!!

Happy Bank Holiday Weekend!

Baby Hannah

Ahhhh! A close family friend has just had her first child, a baby girl called Hannah ... I know Suzie's still a bit wobbly after losing a lot of blood but she's getting there.. so lots of love to you, and your new family.
This Picture is on torn mulberry paper, mounted on cream card with little cherub's punched out. I placed foam squares at the top end and stuck the bottom onto the mulberry paper to give it a bit of a tilt. There's a bit of pink ribbon saying it's a girl top and tailed by pink/ crystal glitter, all finished off by a pink ribbon on the top.

Happy Days

Sunny flowers

Hello on this lovely sunny day ... here's a card I've just finished in time to take with us tonight when we go out with the In-laws. It's Hubby's Great Aunt's 90th Birthday and I was asked to make a card for her. It couldn't be too heavy as it's going to Canada and needs to travel well! I did the background design on Publisher then added the paper flowers after.

Happy Days!

Christening Day

Wow! Is it really ten days since I last posted! My, how time does fly. I have been busy with the children, but now they are back to school so here I am having time to potter round!
This is a card I've made for a friend whose Nephew is getting christened this weekend. I usually have the stained glass window and a little embellishment either male or female, but, sometimes I have a closed bible on the front.

Happy Days!

Beautiful lady

This card has been made for a friend of mine using a silhouette of a lady from the Lakeland shop, (used to be Lakeland plastics a few years ago.) I mounted her onto the card, which had vellum in the aperture, then painted the head dress with Twinkles H2o (I think that's their name!). This gave a nice effect, I think. The banner at the bottom is from my Sissex machine. I hope everyone had a good Easter, here it flew by!

Happy Days!

25 Years!

Well here, as promised, is the card I've done for my friends 25th wedding anniversary. I've cut out and embossed a 25, cut out and embossed a hole on the card, then carefully sewn the 25 into the hole. This takes a long time and is hard to get dead centre but I'm pleased with how it looks.

Happy Easter!

Bead fun

Haven't done cards like this for a while. I don't know why because I really do enjoy doing them, though they do take a long time! The reason I had my beads, needles and cotton out was because I'm doing a wedding anniversary card for my friend who's been married 25 years (see more later in the week). Am I old really enough to have friends who've been married that long? Yep! 'fraid so! Better start behaving ... Anyway I've had my embossing powder out, my square hole punch, my big box of beads and my patience!!!! I've done all the sewing and beading then added it to the card with foam squares to give it the height then I've added a danglie, as I do like them.. This card is for my friend's birthday next week.
