Choo Choo

My parents birthdays are with 6 days of each other!!! Mum's card is normally fairly easy - well compared to dad as she likes flowers, pink, girly bits and pink! Whereas dad - who has got lots of hobbies but they're things like golf, computers, football and trains - choo choo ;o)

Once again, the fantastic Sarn came up with a challenge to make a waterfall card which I thought would be perfick for my dad's birthday card :o) The only problem was that it took me about 4 hours to finish it!!!

Card Recipe:

Little train stamp - Stamps Away

Sentiment stamps - Stampin Up

Paper - Pebbles Inc.

Die Cut letters - Sizzix - forgotten what the set is called!

Yet another football card!

This card was for my cousin who was 35 last weekend. Like most of my male relatives (and me!), he's a football fan. He supports Brighton & Hove Albion so the poor devil is going through it at the mo LOL



I used a sketch for inspiration but I can't remember where it's from. Life's a bit hectic so I'm just grabbing card making time every now and then. I do know that the blue/white football paper was from Crafts U Love and I've got it in most football colours LOL.

The cardstock and ribbon is SU bashful blue and the stamp is by stamps away.

Christmas (with hands and feet)

Weird title for a post but that was the theme for a competition. Well the main theme was Christmas but we got extra "points" depending on how many hands and feet were on the card.

This one came 2nd :o)

I'd already made these 2 cards so that was handy. This is for the guys at work so I've made quite a few of them.

And I made this one for my mum to send to her close family and friends. Had to make 12 of them !!! but this little owl is soooo cute and easy to colour.

Almost everything on these cards is Doodlebug papers and Penny Black stamps but the sentiments are Stampin Up, Stamps Away and one from a clear set from Stamp Addicts

45 years ago

My parents got married on 9th November 1963 and my brother-in-law was born on 11th November 1963. It means that, despite BIL saying that he's younger than he is, we always can remember how old he is LOL What it also means is that I have 2 family cards to make so here they are.

First up is mum and dad's anniversary card. I used all Stampin' Up goodies on it. The stamps are one of my new sets and they're gorgeous.



Next is BIL's card and he likes a pint so this Stamps Away stamp was perfect. The papers are Doodlebug.

Another football card

This card is for my cousin's little boy. He'll be 9 - I think! The reason behind the 5 on the shirt is because he's just started to support Spurs - the poor kid thinks we're playing so badly because he now supports them :o(

Anyway, his favourite player is David Bentley who's squad number is 5.




The stamp is from Stamps Away
