Sympathy Card

Good morning,

I made this card some time ago but haven't got round to blogging it until now as I've been unwell recently. The card was for a very dear friend of mine whose Mum recently passed away and I wanted to send a card that wasn't too flowery so that I could let her know I was thinking of her.

I cased the design from a video I came across on YouTube

Thinking of You

Hello,

Now we're officially in autumn, I can let out a huge yipppppeeeeeeee!!!!

I'm not a lover of the hot, humid, summer days and its so nice to have the darker evenings so that I can close the curtains and snuggle up in front of the TV with a hot cuppa.

Today's card is one that I made for my SIL and BIL. My BIL was involved in a horrendous motorbike accident in Spain as a result of suffering from a Haemorrhagic stroke whilst at the controls of his motorbike and I wanted to send them both a card to let them know they were in our thoughts. You'll have to excuse the picture quality, I just couldn't get a decent photograph no matter how hard I tried!

25th Anniversary Card

Good morning,

Weather here is a bit rubbish today, no sunshine and it looks like rain is on its way. I'm off out shopping soon with Sophie, so that should cheer us up a bit!

My friend asked me to make a 25th Anniversary card for her husband, she didn't want anything too fussy so I tried to keep it as simple as I could....she was absolutely delighted with the end result and I think the papers I chose worked really well on the overall design.

Happy Saturday everyone,

Hope you have a good one whatever you may be up to!

I have a 1st birthday card to share with you today and I thought I'd try a completely different colour combination to tie in with one of the pre-coloured bunny images from LOTV.  I love these little bottlecap letters and numbers...they're the perfect size for personalising cards like this.

Sophie 16th B'Day Card (Sister)

Good morning,

I'm sharing a card today that I made for Sophie's 16th birthday a few weeks ago. She's absolutely shoe mad and I couldn't really find any images I liked online so I turned to my trusty 'Fabulous Shoes CD' and chose this lovely image that looks a bit like a toadstool!

The card was a real hit and looks much nicer in real life...for some reason my camera kept making the shoe look out of focus.
