Today is my Granny's 96th birthday, so I wanted to share the card I made for her with you this evening.

Hmmm... The kittens are adorable, but they are annoying too!! I had made a 50th birthday card using loads of die cut letters and managed to keep them out of the paws (and mouths!) of the kittens, stuck the card together and just had to add the nuvo Crystal Drops to leave them to dry… Continue reading Crafty kittens!

Today is my friend's birthday and he is training to be a doctor, he has his finals very soon. I still want to keep going with the positive statements on birthday cards, and I thought I would go with a punny one today - he will be a doctor, so why not have some anatomically… Continue reading Follow your hearts desire
Hi! This is my second card for today. So I didn't leave myself enough time to make this card... So the sentiment has been stamped SOOOOO badly - it was my second go at the sentiment as well, but I had to go with what I got - I'm not proud of it at all,… Continue reading Climb every mountain high
Two of my friends have birthdays today, so I have two cards to share this morning (you can probably tell I was in a bit of a rush to post them on time from the rushed photography!!)
