Wedding Card


I haven't been feeling up to much crafting over the last couple of day, mainly because it is so painful to sit as my burn is right on my waistline, but I did manage to get a wedding card done for some friends of my parents.

I have used papers from my Pink Petticoat CD along with an absolutely fab Cute Daisy May image that just makes those wedding cards so easy and lovely to do.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you will return soon.

Birthday Card


This card was made for an online buddy's birthday. The image is a Lily-Boo one from Collection 5, the Circles. I have coloured it in using my promarkers adding a nice layerig of glitter for the frosting and matt and layered onto card and papers I had in my stash.

As some of you know my Mother in Law has not been too well since her stroke last October (she is 82) and was rushed back into hospital on bank holiday Monday. Well I am pleased to say that she is going to be allowed home today which is good. But due to this I have been running backwards and forward to the hospital and this week my hubby has gone down with a fluey stomach bug (not swine flu thank god).

Well what with looking after him, running around after Benn and visiting MIL I have not had time to make hubby an anniversary card as today is our 20th Wedding Anniversary. I have managed to do a few challenge cards but I had wanted to make a lovely one for him being as it is a special year but my Mojo had completely gone missing and everytime I have started to make one nothing went right. Well the day has arrived and I still haven't got it done so late last night I had to go an buy one but being the wonderful hubby that he is said "don't worry, I understand". Well all I can hope is that my mojo returns through the day.

First GDT Card - Cute Daisy May


Remember recently that I told you I had been picked as Guest DT member for the Cute Daisy May Challenge, well here is my first card. This week we were asked to use Pink and ? so I went with Aqua. These images are just so cute and have been hand drawn by Linnie, perfect for an anniversary card don't you think. Each collection is only £1.99 and there are loads of to choose from, well over 90 collections now, pop on over and have a browse but take a cup of tea with you as you will be there for a while.
I coloured my image using my Promarkers, mat and layered some papers I had in my stash. The pink card was cuttlebugged using Divine Swirls, I then added a computer generated sentiment and finished it off with a couple of coordinating ribbons.
Thanks for stopping by.
