Clearly a Wedding Card

Good morning!
Well, I really do have a house full! But I love it! ;)

I had two orders for Wedding cards this week, so here they are...


The image is a download from Papercraft Inspirations...isn't it elegant? I added a veil through a slit in the bride's hair and added pearls. I cut a strip out of the A4 card blank and replaced it with acetate. The card is simply finished with the bride's bouquet and some tiny pearls. I also made inserts to hide the tape and boxes for presentation.

I have a feeling this week is going to be very busy! :)

Twins are twice as nice!

Good morning LIMettes, and Chrissie and Mandi!
Ooh I love this morning's challenge....


I love making new baby cards! :)
So here is mine!

The adorable image is from Lili of The Valley, and I have gently coloured it with Promarkers. The heart embossing is using one of my new SU! edge embossing folders, and the sentiment came with the stamp. I finish with a tiny ribbon bow using up some ribbon from my 'tiny bits tin!' My layout was inspired by Chrissie and Mandi's samples :)

I've taken a little more time this morning as I'm not working today! In fact, I am off for 16 days! However, I shall be hosting 3 adults and 3 kids, on top of Keiran, for this week! Our friends from Holland are visiting and we can't wait! :)

So, IF I get any crafting time this week, you may see me again...

Sketch Saturday #208 with Bunny Zoes

Yay it's Saturday! :) So that means one of 2 fab things! And one of them is here...it's a new sketch at Sketch Saturday! And this week we are sponsored by
Bunny Zoe's Crafts
Here is our sketch
And my card

Image is from the front of a shop bought card and was given to me by Keiran's Granddad, David, who commissioned this card, and the papers are from some free papers from Cards For Men magazine months ago! The tickets were printed from Google images and cut out using my new ticket die from Die-Namics. Everything was distressed using Tim Holtz Vintage Photo...I love the tickets! :)

Thanks for looking! :)
