Wedding card

A colleague at work has asked me to make a wedding card for her son's wedding in a couple of weeks. She didn't have a theme, but she did want it not to fussy. So i thought I'd play it safe and go with sliver and pink.

I have used Lili of the Valley die cut - wedding couple, paper from DCWV - Wedding Stack, pink card stock, sliver mirror card, flowers and brads from my craft stash and the sentiment i printed from my computer using there names. i have also used stickles - crystal on her dress.

She really liked it, hope her son does to.

Happy Birthday Dad

Today is my Dad's 70th birthday and i can't believe it. You wouldn't think he is 70 to look at him, him and my mom ( who is 70 next may) look after and niece who is 2 and my nephew who is 10 months old 3 times a week, but i think this keeps them young. I have made this card as my dad love's gardening, as i have i a green house, he is always asking me how my Tom's are doing (he means tomatoes).

I have used The Office stamp from Little Claire, coloured in using Promarkers, i have used different stamps to get the dad happy birthday, the 70 is a sliver outline sticker coloured in black, the brown card stock, brads and buttons are from my stash. it's a plan and simple card, which is what my dad likes (no fuss).

I will be entering this into I love Promarkers - Buttons

Hope both you and my dad like it, I'm off to go and pick up his cake.

What a week

Sorry for the lack of posts this week, but what a week i have had. first i have been playing with some new stamps from Little Claire, i can't say any more as they are a surprise, but they are great, so watch this space. Then on Tuesday, i came out in a rash :( i have had an allergic reaction to something but not sure what it is. The rash has now gone but i am still scratching, it was soooooo much fun being covered in calamine lotion. Today i have had some fun, over the next couple of weeks i have my dad's 70th birthday, my mom and dad's wedding anniversary, my wedding anniversary and my sister in law's wedding anniversary ( July is a good month for weddings in the Butler/Nicklin family). so i have made my mom and dad's anniversary card.

I have used the Love Birds stamp from Little Claire, coloured in using promarkers, backing paper from DCWV wedding collection, pink glitter card, sliver mirror card, love heart pink ribbon, pink and sliver brads and banner from my craft stash. I am going to enter this card into Passion For Promarkers - animals. My Husband really liked this card and asked me to make the same card from my sister in law's (his sister) wedding anniversary. Hope you like it as much as he did.
