wedding card

Paper - Bo Bunny;

Letters & Buttons - American Crafts;

Gems - Papermania;

Ribbon, Card, Embroidery thread - Hobby Craft

After cutting the paper to size, I used the sewing machine to make a border around the edge of the pattered paper and pulled through the ends to make it tidy. Then arranged the self adhesive letters onto the paper. Next threaded the buttons and used glue dots to fix, also used these to stick on the ribbon bow. Finally stuck the gems to top and bottom corners and then fixed the whole thing to the front of the card with double sided tape.

This card is going to Glen & Claire, hope they have a perfect day, the weather is beautiful today which certainly helps. Can't wait to see them later!

happy anniversary

It's our 3rd wedding anniversary, so I made this card. Did it quite quickly, but it was about the message I wanted to write inside the card :)

father's day

This is the card I made for my dad this morning!! I couldn't get myself going on the card yesterday, but found this site where I managed to get the car image for free :) so thank you to Meljen's designs for that! I haven't used any digital images before as I haven't had any suitable programs on my laptop and sometimes have issues with my printer, not sure why. Anyway I managed to get a program called open office from someone at work a couple of weeks ago which is very similar to ms office, so thought I would give it a go. This is my card;

Went for a walk with her dog, then on to lunch and after went shopping for baby things - was a lovely day with my friend, was only meant to pop and see her in the morning whilst her partner was at work but didn't get home til gone 4.30pm. Where my little cat Tia was waiting for me on the wall outside our house as I got out the car.

 

Last night she was knocked over by a car, poor little girl. A neighbour came and and got us, there son saw it. Jon brought her in, her brother came down the stairs and just walked passed her wanting to go out. Will be getting out some photo's and making a scrapbook. Perfect little cat so friendly and I will miss her everyday. She was my alarm clock she would wake me up every morning by coming a sitting on me for a cuddle. Buried her in the garden today - so so sad. Got to watch her brother now, make sure he's ok. The dogs know something's up and are coming to us for lots of cuddles.
