Birthday Card

Got some new stamps from Lily of the Valley so used one to make this birthday card. Really pleased with the colour palette and layout. Feeling quite smug as my artwork is getting better using Promarkers - love the way in which you can blend colours to get the right shading etc.




I can't believe it's July already! I'm feeling a bit football crazy , I won't know what to do with myself after the final on Sunday!! I've been good and have gone swimming so putting in the lengths every Monday and Wednesday.

Relaxing...

Now that the wedding cake is done I can relax for short while, still got alot of birthday cards to make but I can do them one by one as each birthday comes around. Need to start going swimming again so that's my challenge for next week

Wedding Cake

Well finished the wedding cake cake yesterday morning and final assembly with models took place about 18.45 last night. Really pleased with the result and it looked really good. The Bride and Groom were happy happy - so good job done!

Busy busy

Well it's been a busy time just lately and no let up just yet. A Wedding and Birthday cake to make for this weekend and loads of celebrations to make cards for. A retirement, 2 x 1st Birthdays, a 60th Birthday and two Weddings. Looking forward to designing and making the cards. I made a special wedding card for my son. He got married on 26th May in Cyprus so have just come back from that and what a great time was had by all. Typical homecoming....came back to rain and even more rain!!

Thank You Card



Well yet another busy week can't beleive it's Friday tomorrow. Have been thinking about designs this week for a Retirement Card and Birthday Card for a really nice chap at work. I think I'm about done. The new Smirk papers will work a treat. Also put together this simple thank you card by just layering patterned and plain card and then punching some bold coloured flowers. Finished off with a few gems.
