Wow...more cards!!

More cards to show you as I promised in an earlier post. Two anniversary cards and a birthday card...have another two birthday cards to make and then that is it until we come back from our little trip to the UK.



This card I made for my sister and husband's anniversary next week...the image and the backing papers were from Joanna Sheen's Victorian Companion Triple CD and the dried foliage was also a Joanna Sheen purchase. The flowers, gold coloured brad and ribbon were from my own stash. I had to photograph the card without a sentiment because I had to make a detour via the craft shop on my way to the Post Office to get some anniversary sentiments......thats what you get for not checking your stock beforehand!! LOL.




I made this card for my friend and husband for their anniversary...also next week...actually a day after my sister's. Again the image and backing papers are from the Victorian Companion CD and the dried foliage from Joanna Sheen also...the flowers, brad and peel-off lines from my stash. Forgot to say on both cards the labels were Cuttlebugged. The explanation for the missing sentiment as the previous card!! LOL.




My brother-in-law's birthday card...the images are from the Remember When series by Jak Heath...a sheet I seem to have had for an age...and decoupaged although you can't really tell.

Well thats it for now I'm afraid...hope to have the other cards made in the next couple of days or so.

Thank you for looking...enjoy the rest of your weekend!!

Take care.

Just another quickie visit in case anyone who reads my blog regularly wonders if I'm still around - LOL.

I really am a total let down just now re my blog and crafting...just cant get myself into gear and I'm going to end up in true panic mode real soon!! I've quite a few cards to make too...specials as I call them...meaning family...three of them for next week and at present I'm sat in my craftroom surrounded by everything I need for the job in hand...eg card etc...and really really wishing I had a magic wand!!!!! Lol Lol.

Oh well never mind I'm going to go now and make myself something to eat...brain food...fish!!! Well that's what my mum used to say it was...many many years ago - Lol.

I wont say hopefully...I'll say I will definitely have something to show you next week...and I haven't got my fingers crossed either!! Lol

Take care and have a lovely weekend.
