Dad & Grandad

Today is my FIL’s birthday.  I needed 2 cards: 1 for Dad & 1 for Grandad.  My FIL is very good at DIY and has a keen interest in football – both themes that I could use in my designs.

Card blank embossed with my Cuttlebug A2 embossing folder – Tiny Bubbles (37-1229); surface lightly sanded.  The spanners were cut using my Sizziz Sizzlit – phrase – Father (655292)

Card blank embossed with my Sizzix Textured Impressions Embossing Folder – Plaid (657064).  Image stamped onto white card and coloured with Copic Markers

Merry Christmas

Happy New Year!!

1 year already

Our dear friends are celebrating their 1st anniversary today.  How romantic to marry on Christmas eve?  (see here for their wedding card)

Of course, I had to make a card – I couldn’t let their 1st anniversary pass without a special one.

I enjoy making this type of card – a real “one of a kind”!

Here’s wishing them both a very happy first anniversary and may they have many, many more!

and finally!

for our dancing teacher

and for our friends . . . . . .

The Yearly Challenge

As you know, DS is a bit of a brand slave and each year the challenge is to come up with two Christmas cards featuring the logo of his favourite brand.

Here are this year’s efforts:

A Christmas Project with a helpful cat

DH decided that this year, for the first time, that he wanted something to hang on the front door.  Having made his decision, he scoured the shops for something suitable but drew a blank.  He then had a bit of a brainwave – I could make one.  He was “kind” enough to buy the supplies and then left me to get on with it.

Result:  One happy husband, one fake snow covered cat!

Christmas is coming

I love making Christmas cards, I just don’t like making them in the summer.

Here are some of this year’s family cards:
