Two birthdays

I know it's been ages since I last posted, but life has been work, work, work and more work!!!!! Nearly the holidays now and needless to say I'm counting the days.

Here are two cards that I've made for two of my offsprings' birthdays. The first was for my eldest son's which was actually last month and the second for my daughter whose birthday is on Sunday.

The car on this is decoupaged and his initials are on the registration plate.

And here's another LOTV 'square'. No guesses what daughter's name is!!!!!

Thanks for looking,

Squares!

Three cards made with the lovely LOTV die cut squares. These are so easy to use. I made these cards in half the time I usually take, as there was no stamping or colouring to do and in my opinion the results are just as good.

All the card and  backing papers on the baby boy cards are SU and the rest of the elements on all the cards came from my stash.

Carrie's Wedding

Here's the card for I made for my friend Carrie and her new husband Keith. They were married today after 15 years of being together!

And here she is, looking beautiful, as a bride should!

 And, sorry Carrie, but I couldn't resist....here's the kiss!

 

And now I must go and make myself beautiful for the evening do.

Hope to blog again soon , but time is so short and work is so hectic! :)

I'm Back!

Well, just in case you didn't even know I'd gone... I've just come back from 'not so sunny' Tunisia. I'm not posting any piccies cos they're only the same as last time and you can see them here if you haven't already seen them. :)

I haven't had time to make any new cards since I got back as I've been busy catching up with my school work. Yuk!

So here's a couple of LOTV cards I made a while back but haven't yet shared with you.

This one was made with SU card and SU backing paper.

The card is SU again but I have no idea where I got this lovely colourful backing paper from!

I can't wait for the new LOTV boys stamps which are due out later this month. You can have a sneak peak at some of them here.

A Touch of Red

The Less Is More Challenge Week 9 is 'A Touch of Red'. Think I'm getting better at this as I'm finding I don't have to think about it so much or maybe I just like this particular challenge! Anyway, here's my entry.

The image and sentiment are SU - Baroque Motifs & Wonderful Words respectively.

Card - white hammered from the Papermill, Real Red ,SU.

Gems from my stash.

Baptism

Happy Mother's Day to all you mums out there who deserve their well-earned rest today!

Although I'm not doing much, I'm currently 'celebrating' on my own as OH has gone off to see his family, both sons are still in bed (far too early for them to be up!) and daughter has texted to say she won't be round till after tea.

So I thought I'd share a commissioned card for a baptism with you. Hope you like it.

The image is one of the new LOTV die cuts which I bought at Harrogate. These are lovely and great when you need to make a card and haven't got time for colouring. For anyone who hasn't seen these yet, you're in for a treat as there are some new images too.

The blue card and papers are SU, the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the rest is from my stash.

I printed the sentiments straight from my PC.

Have a great day,
