Happy Birthday Mum!

 Hi Crafters,

This card was made for my Mum's Birthday.

She is 91 years young today!

...and as you can see her favourite colour is blue so I thought that this blue Hydrangea Charisma and die set from Tattered Lace would be prefect for her card. I also used some other dies in the Tattered Lace Collection - Lovers of Lace Heart Frame, Hemstitch Square, Leaving a Trail and Oh So Floral dies.

I'm so lucky to still have my mum with us and in fine fettle too, I will be going to see her later today, we always have a lovely chat and put the world to rights along the way.

Challenges I'd like to enter:

C.R.A.F.T. challenge - #649 Shabby Chic

As You Like It - Favourite Card Base Shape and Why ( I love to use square card bases as these give me so much more space to add details and elements to my design)

That's all from me today, I'll see you tomorrow for my Allsorts DT inspiration.

88 Years Young!

Hi Crafters,

It's my Mum's birthday today and she is 88 years young!

This is the card I created for her.

She loves Shire horses and this image was perfect for her card.

I used my Tattered Lace Dies and matching 3D Charisma CD rom for the flowers. Tattered Lace sentiment die and Britannia 'Mum' die.

For Mum...

Hi Crafters,

This was the Christmas card that I made for my mum this year, she loves poinsettias and has quite green fingers when keeping them successfully from one year to the next.

I thought I'd make an easel card to show off this lovely Craft Creations decoupage image.

I layered the tartan paper from Craft Sensations on to glitter card for a beautiful sparkling border and used metallic gold card for the rest of the mats and to cut my Britannia Die sentiment. Grossgrain ribbon from stash.

Challenges I'd like to enter:

Allsorts Challenge - #447/8 Seasonal Flowers

Bye for now,
