Father’s Day

Happy Father’s Day! (Sorry it’s a day late!!)

DH had the Father’s Day he wanted – nice & quiet, doing what he pleased with a healthy dose of football watching thrown in for good measure!

 

As usual, I made cards for DH and my FIL.  I didn’t get around to photographing the card I made for DH but I did manage to get a picture of the other one.

Well, best get on . . .lots to do today before the football starts!

Retirement

A friend (and colleague of DH) is retiring.  DH asked me to make a retirement card and I was stunned when he told me who it was for as I didn’t believe that he was anywhere near retiring!

 

DSC00173  I used some pretty butterfly paper as a background and used the dictionary definitions for “happy” and “retirement” as the basis for the design.

Summer anniversary

I find that I make a lot of anniversary cards between May and September.  It becomes increasingly difficult to come up with ideas, especially as I like to make the cards unique.

For this one, I made a woven raffia heart, added some white paper daisies with button centres.  Only using nice, fresh summer colours made the design stand out (and I did hear that the recipients like it too!)

World cup time

Are you world cup ready? I am - the garden is decorated and the flags are in the window and of course I had to have some portable world cup stuff . . . . .
