A WEDDING ANNIVERSARY CARD

this year my brother and sister in law celebrate 44 years together so I thought a nice big card was in order...

I bought the strawberry kisses range last year and haven't used them so out they have come.....the bp are from the crafters companion cd strawberry kisses that goes with the stamps....I did bunting with their names on and a rosette with 44 years of love stamped on to it for the inside but my photo was really naff.....

ZOE'S CHALLENGE INCLUDE AN APERTURE

thank you Zoe this was a real challenge! and I loved it

sorry about the naff photo I was trying to shine the light through the aperture!  I got out my Molly Bloom stamps bought last year and gathering dust...molly with her lamp, behind her is a christmas tree and the aperture is made with the holly wreath with the centre cut out...it was ment to be a shaker card but it ended up as one of those squeezy one...the first time I have made one from scratch, yes I now know how easy they are!

I coloured the images with copics, glittered and glazed...and had great fun, hope your weekends are going well its damp and drizzle here so great for doing a bit of crafting.

CARD FOR ISABELLA

we had a great day and I know Lizzie will be posting photos....I had fun making a card

I made a lovely matching box but of course forgot to take any pics.....

RIBBONS AND LACE CHALLENGE

sorry this is so late for the Christmas Club Challenge ( see my side bar for all the girls who play)....

I have taken inspiration from the LOTV site and used one of the toppers, cut paper lace using a spellbinder die...Holly, papers from pink pettycoat, stars cut from spellbinder die ribbon threaded through and tied in a knot...buttons from my stash...all distressed with tim holtz antique linen.

Mum is doing a bit better and had her stitches out and we are waiting for the bruising and swelling to go down but she seems to be able to see better and can even watch TV again!
