Diamond Wedding Anniversary

I found out yesterday that my friend's parents recently celebrated their Diamond Wedding Anniversary....Wow, that's quite something isn't it. I feel really bad that I didn't know so have made a card to congratulate them. I met my friend at Guides and then we went to youth club together when we were just young 'gals' (ha ha) and they used to have people round for Sunday tea, when they did they always asked me along too, guess I became an 'extra' member of the family, bless them. Seems like only yesterday!!!!!!

New baby card

Some of my friends are expecting their first baby next month, they are monitoring her closely at the moment and we wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't have him early, so thought I should get prepared and have a card ready (let's hope the hospital haven't made a mistake and it will be a boy.

These have been uploaded in the wrong order, the bottom picture is the front! I just need to make a matching box to pop it in now. I cut the oval with my nesties on my cuttlebug, and used some sparkling paints to add the colours.

Hangy things!

I'd totally forgotten I had made these hanging things, they were on a hook behind my craft room door, so thought I'd blog them too.

The little bird one was made from the Stitchles stamp that was free with the Craft Stamper the other month, such a cute little birdie.

The other two were inspired by watching a programme on Ideal World when the presenter used her own stamps which were a selection of fruit. Alas I don't have them but used her ideas to make these, although what the heck I do with them now I have no idea, ha ha ha.

Another anniversary card

I managed to make another card today before my visitor arrived....the lady I made the birthday card for who I used to work for. We had a great couple of hours and lots to chat about.

My friend's anniversary is in a couple of days so thought I'd better get her card done.

It's those girls again

This is a birthday card I made for the lady I used to work for when I lived in Norfolk. I did the background much the same way as the previous card by inking the background with various distress inks and heat embossing the swirls.

I added ink and gold embossing powder to the flower too

It's been a while since I added anything!!!!

My inspiration seems to have been lacking recently, and with the lovely late summer sunshine I just don't seem to have done very much crafting.

Well things had to change as I have quite a few birthdays and anniversaries to make cards for this month.

I made this yesterday to send to my nephew and his wife for their 4th anniversary.

I used Tim's distress inks to colour the background sheet and heat embossed the swirls with brown and gold embossing powder.

The image is from a set of stamps I bought recently but can't remember what make they are.

Now I just need to crack on and get the other cards made.

Thank you for looking.
