A happy occasion .....

My friend Joy needed a wedding card for her partner's niece, and she asked me if I could make one for her.






We also had a belated family birthday catch-up for Mr Fixit's birthday, my birthday, niece Lauren's birthday, Lucas' & Archie's birthday - a lot of chocolate, cake & champagne for that one :)

 

here is the card I made for Mr Fixit's birthday - a new stamp (for me) from Kaszazz with the obligatory kindy glitz!

I already posted Archie's birthday card earlier, but here it is now to refresh your memory


Here is the card I gave to Lauren

This card was a CraftMad swap card - it was in my box of goodies, just waiting for the perfect person to give it to :)

and here is the card I made for Lucas



This is a 3-D card made of multiple layers - graphics are by Janet Briggs from Crafts-U-Print.

Well, that's it from me for a little while :)

Sympathy Cards .......

.... they are so hard to make some times.

The last two lots of sympathy card I made, I made two of each, thinking I will have some in reserve for later.

Well, later came quicker than expected.

A friend lost his Mum recently, she had been in ill health for a while, but it doesn't make it any easier.

As his mum was a bit of a quilter and crafter, I sent a pretty, colourful card



and for the second card, I sent this very subtle, almost understated one to an old high school friend, Alison & her sister, on the death of their Father.

Back to the crafting desk to make up some more cards for my stash.

Another sympathy card ......

A very dear friend lost her Mum the other day. 

I have known Kevina and her Mum since about 1964 - we lost touch for a little while during the 70's & 80's but thankfully, through Facebook we have reconnected again.

RIP Joan Franke (nee Brewster/Aldridge) or "Mrs B"

I went through my old photos and was most surprised that I couldn't find one of Kevina's Mum :(

but here is one of Kevina and Myself in about 1971

It is so nice to have a bit of history with one's friends :)
