Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there!  We're having a quiet morning here, catching up on Stella, a series on sky1 that we like, although George says that he is confused by what is going on, typical boy I think :-)  The laptop is playing up and driving me a bit crazy, something else to sort out in a bit I guess.


Anyway, todays card is another that I have tried to keep simple:

The card I used was Very Vanilla backed onto Early Expresso.  The hearts were made from one of the stamps in I (Heart) Hearts stamp set and then punched out using the Heart to Heart punch.  The sentiment is from the Sale-A-Bration stamp set, Outlined Occassions and I finished it off with some striped grosgrain ribbon matching the ink, Cherry Cobbler.


Remember that Sale-A-Bration ends at the end of March, so not long now to get an order in to receive one of the lovely free items in the S-A-B brochure.  Please message me if you are interested in making an order.

Spring has sprung

Apologies for lack of blog post yesterday, it was such a warm and beautiful day, we decided to make the most of it and have chips in Christchurch:

It is the first day this year that the sun has felt hot and at one point, even the cardi came off :-D  So, with Mother's Day coming up, I am busy thinking of Mother's Day inspired cards and here is one of them:

For this card I punched hearts using the Heart to Heart punch and Spice Cake dsp, the centre piece is a stamp from Vintage Vogue.  Perfect for a mother on Mother's Day :-)

Many apologies for lack of bloggage yesterday, time escaped from me somewhat.  We had an early meet at the swimming pool and then popped over to a friends for the afternoon.  Then George had army cadets and I had no energy or inclination for anything workified :-(  Today has been much calmer in comparison and I had opportunity to make some more cards in preparation for Boscombe Vintage Market tomorrow.


Here is one of the cards:

I like the fresh feel of this card, the use of the pink as a border to the First Edition Speciality dsp gives it a lift.  I punched the hearts using the Heart to Heart punch and used a stamp from the S-A-B stamp set, Outlined Occasions for the sentiment.


Righty-ho, I'm off now, speak to you all very soon and if you find yourself at Boscombe Vintage Market tomorrow, pop along to say hello :-)

Heart to Heart

Morning all!  Thought I would get on and post this morning as I find myself up and at 'em earlier than usual :-)  Lots to do today, going to make some smaller cards, just for something different to do.  May package them up in sets for sale, not sure yet.  I'm also hoping to get a Doctorate proposal started at some point today too, will see how time goes...


And here is today's card:

I used Rose Red from the Brights Collection and Basic Black to border it, which I love the effect of.  I used another of my new punches, Heart to Heart, to punch out hearts from Spice Cake dsp, and finished it off with a stamp from the stamp set, Vintage Vogue, bordered and put centre-stage on the card.


Right, that's it for me today, off to get dressed and ready to pop out.  See you all tomorrow :-)
