Birthday Card June 2011

Below is a picture of a Card I made for Mother-in-Law's Birthday in June.  I don't normally make pyramid cards, but my cutting out skills left something to be desired when I made this, and we could have had a bunch of stalks or worse still a bear with no head.

April Birthday Cards

I made and sent 2 Birthday cards for 28 April, one for my Sister, and another for my good friend Sue.

This is the card I made for my Sister for her Birthday, I know she loves purples and lilac, so it was an obvious choice for her.

This was the card I sent for my friend Sue's Birthday, however as is normal for this country I think it won't have arrived in time, as apparently my Sister's card didn't arrive till 30th.  Sorry ladies I did my best, shame the Post Office don't do the same.


Right I'm off to the Craft Shed to sort out what I am doing for the May Swaps I have signed up to.

Birthday Card 70th

Goodness it has been a while since I wrote anything, but never mind I have a few to upload today, that have been made recently, so here we go:

This is the card I made for an Uncle.

Birthday Card for my Great Niece Chloe

Well I did get a card made and in the post to my Great Niece in Telford for her Birthday - which is the day before mine.  Here is a picture:

The Butterfly card was one from a pack that was a Gift with one of my recent Magazine Subscriptions, only the front is shaped.  I covered the card with a Backing Paper from yet another Free Gift with a magazine - My Minds Eye Summer is the papers used.  I then cut the green flower shapes from another sheet of the same papers, and found some tiny butterflies to go on top.  I trimmed round the edge with Peel Off stickers, however I don't feel that these glitter type one's are right for it, it needs something a tad more bendable for the shapes it has to conform to, but hope to solve that problem with my Cricut machine in the next few weeks, and of course save those vital pennies.

They have arrived - Welcome Scarlett and Chloe.

Well Folks - the 2 little girls have finally arrived, Jenna had her Daughter on 26 June 2009 - early hours delivered safely by C Section Scarlet weighed in at 9lbs 3oz, and I have to say she is lovely.

Lindsay was due to have her little girl on 4 July, but she was obviously far too comfy in there, as she arrived 10 July 7.54pm (UK time) named Chloe Louise and weighing 8lbs 8oz.

Well - as it is now my Birthday and Wedding Anniversary, and my Husband is taking me out for a meal tonight, I will take myself off to bed - that's the place they put most Great Aunties I think, along with their knitting - except I don't do much knitting - lots of other things though.

I'll probably pop on during the day sometime, but I have 2 dogs to bath as well as get myself ready for the evening. But will come back and give a report of the meal - I'm feeling hungry already lol
