and another

I enjoyed making the typewriter card so much that I had to make another (see here for the other one) 

I decided to make this one for my Aunt – quite appropriate as she bought herself one this summer.

First Anniversary

My cousin’s son & his wife recently celebrated their 1st wedding anniversary.
I used one of their wedding pics, made it black & white and printed it onto printable canvas.


This was mounted onto silver paper and then a pinkish coloured card mount. I then added paper leaves & handmade paper roses.

Fish Update

The pleco babies have continued to grow and Snorlax managed to raise 20+ in total.  We have given away about 15 and have kept some for ourselves.
We only intended to keep 3 but as usual, events in our house made us revise our decision.  Snorlax decided to go exploring;  he managed to squeeze out of the back of the tank, where the lid goes over the glass.  Sadly he didn’t survive the fall from the tank.
I was lucky enough to get a picture of a baby plec emerging from an egg.

Dear Friend’s Birthday

Our dear friend celebrates her birthday the day after DH.

The typewriter was a “print & cut” using the Craft Robo. The image was coloured with my Copics (of course) and the greeting was printed on the computer, using a quirky typewriter font.

Birthdays

On the tail of our anniversary it is DH’s birthday and our dear friend’s birthday.
Here’s what I came up with for DH’s birthday:



DH is an avid TV fan so DS wanted me to base his card on a TV.  We get a lot of error messages on our TV so I decided to use this as a starting point – and added DH’s age to give the error code and the reason being “Birthday Service Only” .

Missing In Action

Where has October disappeared to – seems to be a common complaint this year that the time is simply whipping by.  Of course, I haven’t been idle (probably why the days have slipped by without me noticing!)

We seem to have a lot of celebrations in September/October – so over the next few days I will try to play catch up.

As you know, we celebrated DS’ 18th.  This was followed by our wedding anniversary – guess what?  DH didn’t get me an anniversary card!  But of course, I made one for him.

Basing the card on a cupcake theme this is how it developed:

1. Stamped image onto card.

2.  Coloured required images using my beloved Copic Markers.

3. Carefully cut out my stamped & coloured images.

4.  Mounted the 3D elements with foam pads
