Another anniv. card

I have had to make another anniv. card in a hurry, so chose to work from an idea had back in March. It is for a golden wedding anniv. and uses foil type paper on a gold card blank.

I made some small embellishments recently using 'Jolly Holly' Teabag Effect papers by LOTV.




I am into week 7 without being able to use my printer fully. This is due to it being incompatable with the new software my hubby put on the pc. In a way is a good lesson to teach me - to use up my stash. On the other hand I can't do lots of tea bag tiles on one sheet of paper so am being wasteful. Roll on the day when get compatability back.

Precious cards

Here are two precious christmas cards I wanted to show that I am also inspired by at the moment. My late grandmother gave them to my late grandfather. I think they are beautiful and also show some great techniques!

Anniversary cards

I have made two wedding anniv. cards in the last couple of weeks on top of getting married myself!

One was a special 'Ruby' anniv. one. I was lucky to have a flat backed jewel in my stash that had fallen off a christmas tree decoration. It turned out to be perfect for the card I thought.

The other is a general celebratory card. I haven't decided who's getting it yet. It started out as a go at the 'Moving along with the times' challenge blog HERE, but I changed my layout from the sketch.

Dovecraft Retro Floral Prints idea.

This picture shows one of the papers from Dovecrafts Retro Floral Prints Designer Paper Pack. An uncompleted teabag folded medallion has given me the idea to use it as a photo corner!



Some of the papers were available to download HERE

Sticker backing sheet design - sunmed.

I was playing with some sticker backing sheets, helping make cards for some leavers at work and came up with some various designs. I like framing a basic teabag folded medallion at the moment as you can build up layers to make it a bit more interesting. This is one idea...

Thank You card and visit

This is a card I made for a lovely lady called Audrey who is 87. I am very pleased with it as she was able to see the middle with her magnifier and appreciated being able to touch it, seeing as registered blind. Audrey taught me at primary school and I popped round today with my mum. She had some lovely flowers in her garden and the scent was wafting in on this hot sunny day.
