With Love ...

Well finally managed a card using a new stamp from the Special Moments collection 

released earlier this year, she is soooo pretty.

I have used papers, cheesecloth, flowers, ribbon, butterflies,

charm, pearls & shutters.  Sentiment is CG & clay frame.

Hand stitched on all layers and then a touch of Frantage.

Sw33t 6t33n ...

Well if you popped by my blog yesterday I mentioned it was my Daughters 16th Birthday

and this is the card I made for her special day.

Thank you for all our birthday wishes.

She loves the SC images and they are perfect for teenagers too!

Purchased this digi before Christmas when I first saw it especially for her 16th.

Now I can use it more, just wanted my Daughter to have it first!

This one is called 'Secrets' and I have only printed the girls and replaced

the bunting in the middle with my own.

It was a pretty difficult card to photograph but this is the front and

below is the inside.

This is a full length picture of how the card is displayed.

Plenty of stitching for this one, 10 pieces in total but she is worth it!

I have used papers, flowers, fence, charms, cheesecloth, distress ink, Frantage,

twine, ribbon & pearls.

The clouds, birds including the bird cage, matting & layering, tree

and finally the bunting were all cut on my fabulous Silhouette.

With Sympathy ...

Sadly we all need to make sympathy cards once in a while and on this occasion

I wanted one for my lovely MIL whose new Husband & soul mate was diagnosed just a few short

months ago with Cancer and sadly lost his battle just this weekend.

She adores my cards and really appreciates them, so although I need some of these

cards in my supplies I wanted a very special and unique one for her.

CAS is the order of the day with sympathy cards and this is so but I personally

created this lace die cut on my fabulous Silhouette Studio from scratch and I have to admit

I am really pleased with the result even thought it took many hours of work!

Thank you for visiting my blog today and may Steve bless him now rest in peace,

he will be missed very much but thought of every day x
