Birthday & Anniversary Card

I have 2 cards to show you today. Both of these were for my sister's birthday and her wedding anniversary.

First card was made for my sister's birthday. I made the background using Tim Holtz distress inks. Was quite pleased how this turned out. I then used the Woodware 'Sister' large word stamp. This was cut out of some of the backing paper as were the flowers that were stamped from Stampin Up punch/ The greeting comes from 'Fabulous Sayings' stamp set. A few pearls added and the card was finished. 

The anniversary card was made at a workshop. For this the word 'Love' was printed onto the card and then filled in with flat backed gems. The hearts were added from Lawn Fawn die. Thought this would make a great anniversary card.

Baby Card

Today's card is a baby one that I made at Clair & Sharni's last workshop. The card base was cut using scalloped die. When I stuck it together it didn't stand right as I stuck it crocked so I too the back off and stuck it on a 7 x 7 card blank. I managed to find backing card that matched the colours. I also added some sequins. 

The cute bunny is a Wild Rose stamp which is quite cute. We paper pieced some of the bunny and die cut the letters. Very cute card. Just have to wait for a new baby now!!

A Boys Card

My second post today is a card I made for one of my nephews. I love these images which I got from La Pashe. They are called Wacky Wheels. I had the whole set originally but this was the last one I had. 

The image is decoupaged giving iy a 3d appearance. I decided to continue the colour themes of red and black.  Used a vertical 'Happy Birthday' die and card candy.

Family Day at Paultons Park

A couple of weeks ago we took the my son, daughter in law, future daughter in law and grand kids down to Paultons park for the day. We had a great day and lots of fun. With the photos I took and those that we bought, I have made some scrapbook pages and in Craft Artist and printed them out and put them in a book. Here are the pages I made. All 8 x 8.

This last page is a comparison between my 2 grandsons. The top picture is of Leon when he was 2 and 11 months and the bottom one is of Ollie age 2 and 6 months. Can't believe how much smaller Ollie is than Leon at that age :-)
