We Go Way Back

Its not often that I make a card for my uncle that he really likes but this was one of those, he laughed when he saw it and said it was almost like I had taken a photo of him in his chair, a very rare compliment from this particular gent lol.

Sassy and Classy Handbag Version 2

I was so delighted with the first card I made like this I went back and printed a load more, of course I forgot to take pictures of them but they were so much fun to make.

This one is more muted than the others but I still like it a lot and I hope the recipient did too. Now you are probably thinking why did she make her own birthday card but this is in fact for my cousin who is named after me....poor thing lol.

Sassy and Classy Handbag Version 1

Many many moons ago I made a few of this design and whilst looking at my blog for inspiration as my mojo was missing I spotted this design and decided to recreate it. Of course once I popped I couldn't stop and I made about 20, all different and all sorts of colour schemes.

Teeny Tiny Planner Girls

Sometimes I wish I had bought dies to match the stamps when they are this teeny and then I realise that they don't make dies and also that I am a cheapstake lol.

When i was making this card during a zoom call my friend said I must really love the person I am making this for as it was a lot of work and I said I certainly do.

Alpha Bears Version 3

For this one I coloured the bear lighter as I had learnt my lesson from the last version and I also paper pieced the letter, I think the paper is from Echo Park giddy up but I wouldn't swear to it lol.

I think I might make more of these for later in the year but then that means I am not using all my other neglected supplies

Alpha Bears Version 2

This is the second card and I coloured the bear a bit too dark and had to put glossy accents on the letters so that you could see her name. I know as a little one receiving something with my name on always made me smile and I hope the same is true for these little ones

Alpha Bears Version 1

I saw a card on instagram or facebook that had used the alpha bear and I thought why have I never thought of that so I remedied it straight away and made three lol.

This is the first one and each turned out slightly different but I like them all.

True Friends

I just wanted to wish my very good friend a very happy birthday and a card is the best way I know how.

This stamp has a bit of a background story to it, I saw it last year on a blog and fell in love but it was a bit expensive to buy and only use once so I decided against it, then my friends and I went to the crafters companion store in Evesham and they had a clearance section and there it was and a bargain to boot so I knew it was meant to be and bought it straight away. I have also used it almost straight away which is also unheard of lol.

Happy 18th Birthday

When the pandemic started in 2020 I had a lot of big birthdays and I used this design a lot, so I figured if it isn't broke why fix it. I don't have very many bog birthdays this year so I can't see me using this again but I am sure I will next year lol.

Beach Glasses

I made this card the same time as the sunset one and I still have the mountain one to use but as I didn't have an idea for that one I decided to wait until I do. I don't normally create scenes and I did enjoy this so maybe there will be more in my future lol.
