Happy Birthday card

Good evening all, so our puppy had his first haircut today :D he smells divine, so whilst he was being pampered we had a look round some of the shops in the near by town Then had my friend round for our normal Monday catch up and spaghetti bolognaise. Had enough time to make this 'Happy Birthday' card using stampin up products.

I've now decided to sell my cards and all money raised will be donated to a charity which is all too close to home 'brain tumor trust'. My boss is allowing me to set up a little space in our 2 offices to help me :).
Well anyway I'm off to get showered and have an early night as were going bride and bridesmaid dress shopping with my best friend who is getting married next year :D

Night all, thank you for stopping by.

Good evening all

Good evening all, so I've been concentrating on my level 3 and have finally completed another unit!!  still a lot to do but that one was very long winded.
Any way here are two quick makes I made this evening using mainly stampin up products.

'Sky is the limit' stamps using' always artichoke' and 'garden green' ink pads with my aqua painter. Tim Holtz edge distresser, a little cheese cloth and a few black gems at the bottom.

Then for my second make I have made a plain and simple thank you card using the 'Flower shop' stamp and the 'pansy punch', my aqua painter with 'always artichoke' ink pad , then a sentiment from 'What I love' stamp collection. A little of my Gorjuss Santoro ribbon and a few 3D white snow drops to add a bit of texture to the background .

Sleep tight
