What I Made Today

Chris spent today watching the football so I decided to spend my time making my Mum and Dad's Anniversay card. It's hard to believe they've been married 62 years - I hasten to add I was an afterthought (much to my 3 big sisters' amusement). I tried out my new printer and had great fun. I did struggle a bit with the card as I felt I couldn't get the colours to work together. I also think I need to save some pennies for some stash.

The images were from AngiesHot Decoupage album and David Tunis, the background paper was from Canon Creative Park and I made the Sentiment myself on MS Word

I'm going to enter this in my first challenge "GC41: Chestnut Challenge - Romance". I think my card looks romantic so wish me luck. x

My 2nd Card

This is still a bit of a catch up post. This is my 2nd card. It was for my mum's birthday, she's in her eighties and likes traditional cards. I have just posted it to her so I'll find out if she likes it next week.
The card was again from the one's I bought before Christmas. The striped paper, flower ribbon and decoupage flower were from Jak Heath. The "Birthday Wishes" was from here. I copied it into MS Word and put my own colour coordinated border round it.
I'm going to make my Mum & Dad's Anniversary card this weekend so I'll keep you posted.

1st Post on My Shiny New Blog

Whoo Hooo - 1st ever post on my shiny new blog. I thought I'd better start with what I have made so far this year.

My first ever card was for my future Brother-in-Law



I bought glitter cards and envelopes before Christmas so I used one of these. The picture was taken from jos88lilac photobucket page and the dots and striped papers were printed from Canon Creative Park. It made it to Australia in one piece and he seemed to like it.
