But now the evening is ours..... yippie !!! so I'm in my craft room and just completed my Easter card swap and making a few more cards for the brain tumour charity to raise money.

Magnolia 'celebrate' card

Good evening all

           

so today has been a very proactive day. The bride has purchased her dress for her big day, I have tried my dress on and its gorgeous, fed and watered with a pint to celebrate our success followed by a little retail therapy :D beautiful . Hope you've all had a lovely day.

So here is this evenings card hope you like.
Using my aqua painter from stampin up i have selected 5 inks to color in this beautiful stamped image, cut and embossed using an old die, distressed the edge of my image with my Tim Holtz distresser , added a sentiment from stampin up 'birthday wishes' selection. Stamped, coloured and punched a flower from ' the flower shop' selection, added a few brads, gems and ribbon and that was it :D oh and i stapled the edge of my image :).

Hope you all like.
Thank you for stopping by

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.
