J asked me to make a thank you card for his mum which I started the other week, and put to one side whilst the other cards had priority. Finally finished and it looked like this;

I stitched around the frame shape with the sewing machine, but ended up a bit wobbley!

I finally got my hands on my mother-in-law's sewing machine to stitch round Alex's card;

asked to make..

My mother-in-law asked my to make a wedding card for Vince & Hilda, so I made two so she has a choice.

One had Bo Bunny Patterned paper, with Doodlebug embossed dots paper in white, flowers and a heart and said bride & groom at the bottom.

The next one I made was on a white card square base, I used a flowers and hearts embossed paper in white from Doodlebug again and cut a smaller square. I used Making Memories lace ribbon and made a few layers to the bottom half of the card. I stitched a paper block of words like live, love and laugh above the ribbon. Made a heart out of a daisy embossed white paper and layered white flowers from Imaginisce to the right, added a button in the same colour as the lace ribbon and then a white ribbon bow above the flower.

As she arrived a little early this morning while my husband was at work, (yes I was in bed asleep) and I'd only just finished late last night, again I didn't get photo's - Most upset!

next few cards

After making my brother's card, I needed to make a card for my Dad's 50th and another for my baby brother who's going to be 20! I found it hard to do one masculine card, now got another two to do and they have to be different! AHHH!

I managed to make one for my Dad, but forgot to take a photo! Will have to take one when I'm round there next.

brother's b'day

It's my brother's 25th tomorrow and I'm struggling to make a masculine card with the materials I have. I've been out and bought some chipboard lettering that suits Sean, I can go a bit OTT with Sean as he decorates the inside of my birthday cards every year and puts alot of effort in, lots of speach bubbles and doodles. So did little Al this year a great picture of a ten pound note, saying at least you don't look like this and sorry I couldn't afford a real one!

Searched online for ages for ideas and found a layout of a card that I could use, still with limited stamps etc. Didn't have any chipboard tags that the layout had used so I cut squares of card instead. This is how it turned out;

And the inside;

I used the same rub-ons on the back as the speech bubble on the front; handmade by your big sis.

set of cards

Whilst seaching for ideas online of how to lay things out, I found one using some tags from making memories which I had and so sat down and attempted to make a similar card;

There was 3 of each tag so decided to make some more cards. I've made a few others very similar to these. My Mother-in-law had a look through and has taken the card above to give to a friend and has asked me to make a wedding card for her to give next month.
