Mother’s Day card 2014

This card involved lots of elements! I was hoping to enter it in the February Lilli of the Valley Monthly Challenge, but I finished it too late... My Mum simply adores gardening, so even though the stamp used is one of the boys from Lilli of the Valley, it always makes me think of her!… Continue reading Mother’s Day card 2014

10th Birthday Card

Today is my eldest Niece's birthday, but because I've been ill for the last few days I didn't get her card completed until today! I used a white 6x6 tent-fold card for the base.

Today is a fellow PhD student's 30th birthday!!!!!!! She is having a party tomorrow, but here is the card I've made for her... I used a grey 6x6 card for the card base.
