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.

April Swaps sent

I took part in 3 Swaps in April, and will add those images now, as they should have arrived at their destinations by now.

Letter N swap - so I did N for Nasturtium, I'm not sure if the image shows it too well but the matting layer under the image is glitter card which does actually match with some of the colours from the image.

A get Well card - I found the image on the net, quite some time ago, and made it into a 3d sheet.  No Copyright infringement is intended, and if the original image is yours, I am happy to post a notice of credit to you for the original image.

This was my card for a Colour Combo Swap - the colours being Black/Red/Pink.  I used my newest Toy to create the tree's - toy being the Quickutz Silhouette - same as a Craft Robo, just a different name.

March Card Swap

The card below is winging it's merry way to Australia for my March Card swap which was a Letter M Swap.  I try to find less common plants or animals when doing these kind of swaps - so was really happy to find a lovely image of a Magnolia in bloom, which I then decoupaged into the card you see below.

Magnolia's always seem to remind me of Spring - and also how delicate they are - one touch of frost and they soon go brown, so lets hope we don't have any frost any time soon.

Letter L Card Swap

This is another card Swap for the same Group I belong to, and it is also on it's way to Australia.  I had to make a card featuring the letter of the month - it was L in February, the L can be a flower, animal of Famous Person.  I made the card, and was getting ready to scan it, when I thought I know a Ladybug would also look good on this, so after much searching I found one - it's got googly eyes!

More to come again soon, I have to start working on this months swaps, so it would be helpful if I made my mind up which I am taking part in this month.
