Parents birthdays

Once again I'm blogging about how awkward it is having parents with birthdays within a few days of each other.

All I will say is ----- thank gawd for friends and forums LOL

The inspiration for mum's card came from seeing a card that the fab Kerrie made.

And here's dad's card. Competition time on the forum and the theme was Easel cards. Ummm I came first :D Very very happy :)

Stamps: Stampin Up Choo Choo and train track roller. I had great fun doing the train track. Nearly ended up with having them all over my craft room walls LOL

Paper/Ribbon: Stampin Up - can't remember the name of the pack

Card: Stampin Up Kraft, Early Espresso and Brocade Blue

Letters: Sizzix Go Slim

Wedding season

Here's 3 wedding cards that I've made recently.

This one was for a very good friend of mine who got married at the beginning of May. I love this Forever Friends stamp and it has come in very handy --- as you'll see below ;o)



The next 2 were for my cousin's son who got married on Saturday.

This one was from my mum and dad. The stamp is one from Stampin' Up Fun and Fast Notes.



This one was from me - spot the FF bears again LOL I found out that the wedding colours were burgundy and cream so I tried to make the card match. The ribbon is SU Basic Gray taffeta - thanks to the forum girls (especially Maggie) for helping me see that I really really needed it :)

Cute teddy

With getting my boiler replaced last week, I had to make this card quickly. It's for my mum and dad to send to my uncle. Thank gawd for these Forever Friends stickers. I only bought them because they're cute (never could resist anything cute) but I didn't realise that I'd use them LOL. I wonder if I could find one for my brother-in-laws birthday card. His birthday is next Tuesday and I'm stuck to know what to do for his card.



The sentiment stamp is from Stampin' Up and the papers are Papermania --- which I've had for ages!!!

Get Well Soon Uncle Tony

One of my uncles is not very well in hospital at the mo. Mum asked me to make him a Get Well card. I did this one first but then thought it was a bit too modern for mum to send, so made another. Hopefully he likes both of them :o)



I used a sketch from MojoMonday as inspiration. The papers are Pebbles Inc and the stamp is the cute frog from the Stampin Up Unfrogettable set.



For this one, I used a sketch from 2Sketches4U. The image is a quick, convenient and very cute Forever Friends sticker.
