Happy Anniversary

Good afternoon

Hope you've had an opportunity to enjoy the gorgeous sunshine we've had today, got to make the most of these days!

Just quickly popping on to post this card I was asked to make for my mother-in-law's friends anniversary earlier this month.


I used 'Anniversary Surprise' from LOTV which I coloured with Copic pens.  

 
The background papers are from the 'Always & Forever' Paper Pad (LOTV).  The sentiment is from Vintage Sentiments - Occasions (LOTV) and was cut out using Notables 3 Die (Whimsy).  I used a Martha Stewart Punch for the border and the leaves.  The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the ribbon is from my craft stash.

Lili of the Valley - Ribbon and Lace

Thursday Inspiration over at Digital Delights by Louby Loo

Hi everyone, hope this finds you well. 

As it's Thursday I'm back to share some more inspiration from the Digital Delights Design Team.  

As Christmas seems to be fast approaching (our local supermarket have started selling chocolate selection boxes and Christmas goodies!) I thought I had better get a move on and make some more Christmas cards.  Over at the Digital Delights store there is a wide choice of gorgeous Christmas images and I used the snowman image from Christmas Toppers


These toppers are brilliant if you have lots of cards to make and want to keep the design clean and simple.  The image has been coloured with Copic pens, but if you're short of time you can also get them pre-coloured.  The sentiment (Magical Winter Sentiments) is also from the Digital Delights store


The background paper is Patchwork Xmas by Nitwits.  The ribbon and rhinestones are from my craft box.  A fairly simple card, but great if you have lots of cards to make and keeps postage to a minimum if you have to post them. 

Please pop on over to the Digital Delights Blog to check out the fabulous creations from the design team. 

Also don't forget we have a new challenge starting over at Delightful Challenges.  The theme this week is Button and Bows.


I would like to enter the following challenge:

Love to Create Challenge : Challenge #83 - Clean N Simple
Creative Inspirations : Challenge #232 - Clean & Simple

Thank you for stopping by and for your lovely comments.

Put Your Feet Up

Hi, hope you are all doing ok

Today I have a male card to share with you.  The image is from one of the LOTV Art Pads.  The image depicts my son very well as whenever we look for the TV remote he has it.  Sometimes I think it is surgically attached to his hand!


The papers are from County Gent which is also by LOTV.  The 'happy birthday' sentiment is computer generated and the word 'SON' was created using the Letterbox set by Clarity Stamps. 

I would like to enter the following challenge:

Lili's Little Fairies : No Flowers

Thank you for stopping by and for your lovely comments.  I hope you call again.
