Golden Wedding

Celebrations will be taking place a couple of doors away from me on Friday as my neighbours will be celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary, I only learnt this from a 'little bird' last week, so of course you have to set too and make them a card don't you, what a milestone to reach.

I didn't want to make it too fancy, so found my good old faithful rose stamp and embossed it with gold powder, then used several matts in layers in different golds and white in the middle, a gold bow and a 50 in peeloffs (not a favourite of mine, but useful for adding a nice tidy number to a card.)

I'm quite happy with the result, hope they like it too.

Tilda for a poorly friend.

We heard yesterday that one of our friends isn't feeling too well, and was unable to come out with a group of us to a concert, so as I know she loves these Tilda images I thought I'd send her a little card with lots of love inside.

I used my promarkers to colour, duck egg and cornflour blue, and I made the background paper to match (I must get some gingham papers sometime as I do like them for backgrounds) and used a sparkly pen to highlight all the stripes on the background, on the flower and on tilda herself.

Perhaps I should have put 'with love' on the front too as it's looking a bit plain in the middle....maybe I'll nip and do that before I put it in the envelope.

***** I did actually pop 'Just for you With Love' above Tilda and below the flower and it looked much better.....there seemed to be a big blank space in the middle of the card ha ha ha**********

Christmas Card Swap

I can't believe I am doing this on a hot day in August, but I am taking part in a Christmas Card Swap.

How cute is this little Housemouse, I was going to add some extra bits and bobs to the front of the card, but thought they would detract from the picture, so have left it plain and added a Christmas greeting inside.

I used my promarkers to colour it in.

I'm not sure I want to give him away now. Ha Ha.

Tilda with Diary challenge

Well it's Tilda time again, and isn't this one just a sweet image. It has made me finally come and put something on my blog, it seems a while since I posted here. I have been busy crafting, but making some 'basic' cards for a charity event later in the year. They are nothing fancy, but the type of card people would buy for a small cost, well I hope so anyway otherwise I have been wasting my valuable time ha ha. So I haven't put pictures of them on my blog.

I hope everyone has been able to enjoy this lovely bit of good weather we've had the last few days, doesn't it just brighten your spirits.

I'm a bit housebound today as Virgin are meant to be coming to fit something, and so far I have waiting in ALL DAY, didn't have to go out but isn't it just irritating waiting for the knock on the door!!!!!
