Two special little girls!

It is my two nieces Birthdays this month. (Ages 6 & 9)

I have done the same layout for each card, just adapted them with different themes.

Both images are from the MCS Reigning Cats & Dogs disc along with the backing papers.

I have used plain cardstock for both and folded it into a shortfall square card.

The image has been decoupaged and positioned centrally on the card, overlapping the edge.

 

 

 

I’ve finished the cards off with gems / pearls in the top left along with silver ‘Niece’ peel-offs on some cardstock along with more shiny embellishments.

30th Birthday

It’s my “Brother’s”  30th Birthday this month and I decided to make a humorous card!!!

I love this image! It is from the MCS Reigning Cats & Dogs disc.

I have constructed it all on MCS before printing. The background has crowns on it and I have ‘punched’ the wording to make a shadowed effect.

I have done the insert with the same theme, including another dog with a cute little crown on!!

I’m hoping he will see the funny side of this – the dog should make him smile!!

Wedding Card

My friend is getting married this month (In Las Vegas!!)

This image is off the MCS Enchanted Moments disc.

I have added in some text and layered it onto some white hammered cardstock.

 

I was also asked to make a works card for everyone to sign.

 

This image is from the same disc, and I’ve layered it up the same way onto cotton effect cardstock.

The insert is again from the same MCS disc and I’ve added my own personalised wording.

Hopefully they will both have a lovely 3 weeks touring America and have a long happy life as a married couple.

Mum’s Birthday

It was Mum’s Birthday at the end of August.

I stamped an image onto white card and layered it up with two sheets of glittered card.

I used white cardstock, it has embossed circles on it with a shiny finish.

The backing paper is from a Forever Friends paper stack and I added some pink buttons to embellish the card.

It is finished off with silver ‘Happy Birthday’ & ‘Mum’ peel-offs.

Mum & Dad’s Anniversary

It was my Mum & Dad’s Anniversary in August

I chose to use one of my Forever Friends decoupage images for this card.

I used this cute park bench decoupage image, and finished it off by using Flowersoft on the tree blossom.

The paper is part of my Forever Friends collection as well as the greeting.

I’ve used some pink gems to finish off the card.

Nan’s 80th Birthday

It’s my Nan’s 80th Birthday this month, so I’ve finally managed to get crafting and make her card.

 

 

I have used one of Mum’s stamped images she got from the Retreat and backed it onto purple & green card with some patterned paper from a paper stack.

I’m not sure where the flowers and foliage are from, just something I found in my craft stash.

 

I have used white patterned cardstock, it has embossed birds and dots on it.

 

 

I have finished the card off with ‘Happy 80th Birthday’ using silver peel-offs.

Twycross Zoo

Me and Pete had a day off last Tuesday, so we decided to go to Twycross Zoo…

There were alot of different monkey species, this one was happy playing with a blanket!! :-)

I thought these penguins were really cute, they were following each other by walking around in a line!!

 

 

We went to the elephant enclosure and saw the baby! He’s only 1 year old so has got alot of growing to do!!

 

Not sure what this one was doing – perhaps she was just resting her legs!!

 

 

Sorry, but I had to put this one on – if you look closely you can see that Mr Giraffe is quite pleased to see Mrs Giraffe!!! Hehe!! :-) 

 

 

And here’s a cheeky chimp having a little rest with his blanket.

 

 

We had a great day out with the sun shining and no rain – however we did get attacked by thunder bugs and I was silly enough to wear a bright yellow top!! :-)
