Sunrise and a baby card

Good morning everyone, how could you not feel good when you see Mother Nature at her best. This was what greeted me as I opened my curtains this morning at 6.30am.

I hope all is well in your world...hugs

And now for my card today!

Very simple new arrival card in neutral colours for when you don't know if its a girl or boy!

While card is my usual white linencard.

Buff card is Bazzill Basics that I have had forever and a day.

Image is one I won very many moons ago, colured with Copics and cut with Spellbinders die, as is the mat.

Sentiment stamp is from an old set, may be Papermania. First time it has seen ink!!!

8x8 Commissioned vows renewal

Good morning everyone, I am so sorry that I have not been commenting, I am guilty of taking time out to play with my new car and yes, I am loving it :o) I will endeavor to catch up with your posts in the next few days!

Believe it or not, 7 months after applying for P.I.P. for Stephen, the DWP representatives finally came to see him on Friday. So now we wait yet again to see if he will be allowed to have this extra money to give him independence!

I hope all is well with everyone, hugs.

On to my card for today. If you think it looks familiar, it's because I have used the front of a round card I made previously as I thought the image was perfect for the occasion. Please ignore the coaster on the inside, that is just to cover the private message :o)

For once I didn't make my own card blank, this is from a pack of Papermania 8x8 blanks. I embossed the front with an 8x8 Embossalicious folder then attached the front from another card and added the flower, sentiment  and bling.

The digi image is from Mo Manning, printed onto plain white smooth card then coloured with Caran D'Ache watercolour pencils.

All coloured card is Bazzill Basics.

Daisy cut with Sizzix Bigz dies from plain white card, then the petal tips inked with an ancient Colour Box pad which was just the right colour.

Foliage cut with Memory Box and McGill.

Inside border cut with Spellbinder.

Image and inside panels also cut with Spellbinder.

Sentiment is computer generated the cut with SU punches.

Pins unknown.

Anniversary in the round

Good morning everyone,  I hope all is well in your world...hugs

It's too early to tell what it's going to be like out there but it is raining at the moment!

I have now been off the statins for a month, and it hasn't made one iota of difference to my aches and pains, so I am going back on them on Friday. At least I have proved that it's not them that's making it worse!

 

I have a few friend's anniversaries to make cards for this year and here is one of them, I decided on a shaped one for a change, this one is 7" 

Base card cut from Bazzill Basics (which I have had forever)  and the back is plain white, with a score 1" down to allow for opening.

Image is an old one from Mo's Digital images, coloured with Caran D'Ache watercolour pencils, then cut with Xcut large die, as is the larger white mat. I used Spellbinder's Grand Nesties for the rest. Foliage is Memory Box die cut.

I hope you like it :o)
