80th Birthday

Hiya

I'd just like to share a birthday card I made for my Uncle's 80th, we celebrated with a lovely family bash on Saturday night. I think all the girl cousins got a little tipsy and emotional...lol

 I'd like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and say a big thanks for your visits over this last year!

Niece's 18th Birthday

Just a quick post to show you my lovely niece's 18th birthday cards. The criss-cross card was made with a little help from Teresa whose blog you can visit here. As I was struggling with matching my patterned papers she suggested just sticking to one,I liked the results. The flower was hand made following a tutorial here on the PartiCraft blog and the key was made with an Arty Farty template.
Simples,,,lol

Happy Birthday


Good morning, not had much chance to blog this week but woke up at some unmentionable time this morning so thought I would add the card I made for one of my crafting friends. I'm sorry I am not very good adding the recipe bit after my cards as I can never remember the name of my dies only the company who made them.


Recipe

Spellbinders Fancy Lattice Die
Spellbinders Label Die
Memory Box Flower and Fern Dies.

Christmas is fast approaching and I'm seeing all these beautiful cards but I  haven't started my cards yet, I still have quite a few birthdays left for this year. I suppose I should get a move on, especially as the light in my craft room on winter nights is not very good and makes crafting a little difficult.

As always thanks for stopping by

More Distress Inks

More distress inks, I really do like using them and with my new splodgeaway mat which you can find here i'm finding it much easier, good job really isn't it. As I was only having a play around they will go in my box but I may use one of the masculine looking ones for my brother in early October. My Spellbinders Fancy Lattice was delivered this morning so looking forward to having a play the weekend and hopefully the other dies I ordered will make an appearance as well. Fingers crossed!

For my nieces


Well it turned out rather nice after the rain this morning, managed to get some washing dried which is always a good thing. You can't beat the smell of washing that has dried on the line. OK on to my cards, they were made for my nieces Lizzie in June and Victoria in August. Oops just noticed that I forgot to put niece on the
younger ones card but she was probably more interested in what was inside to notice...lol
Both cards were made with free papers from magazines and the flowers on the first card were made with a die.





As always thanks for visiting!
