On Your Wedding Day

One of my oldest friends is getting married today - sadly I can't be there as she is now in Queensland, but it didn't stop me making a card for her.

Taken in 1970!

One of my Fave photos - 1989

2003 

I have always been a fan of Lili of the Valley (LOTV) stamps, and one of my absolute faves is the wedding couple.

So here is the card I made for my friend Olga & her new husband Chay.

and on the inside, a wonderful wedding cake stamp that I have had in my stash since I first started stamping in 2003!

Wishing you both every happiness!  The third time's a charm!  ;) 

Thank you for visiting my blog today - I hope you have a good day.

Happy 17th Birthday Liam

Oh, my ...... where does the time go?

The nephew turned 17 and we had pizza & cake to celebrate!

I made the card with some new balloon die cuts, Kassazz DP & silver embossing

Happy Easter .....

... to you all!

I am loving using Graphics from Creative Market. 

This one is from Watercolor Floral Prints&Patterns by Katerina Osa - https://crmrkt.com/V5a43d

'Happy Easter' sentiment placed over graphic, highlighted with kindy glitz - a nice easy clean & simple card.

With Sympathy .....

Well, life really sucks some times :(

The friend that lost her husband in January, has now lost her Mum.

So I made three cards - one each for Sue & Roger, who lost their Mum and one for Ray, who lost his sister :(

Even though it was such a sad reason to make cards, it was very nice to be creative again.  I have wanted to do something with the beautiful graphics from Creative Market for quite some time, and I always love using the Spellbinders Nestabilities dies especially the squares - so they just came together very easily.

These images are from the  Pastel Flowers collection.  Cardstock is from Blue Edge Crafts.

Sentiments die cut & layered, then heat embossed.

2019 ..... not a good start :(

Hi there to my fellow blog readers :)

Happy New Year to you all - 2019 has started with a heat wave here in Adelaide!

Sadly, one of the first cards I needed to make for the year was a sympathy card.

My friend Sue's husband Keith died after a short battle with brain cancer - such a terrible disease!  I have known Sue and her brother Roger since my days of St Clair roller skating the 70's.  We have caught up quite a few times in recent years, and it was such a shock to learn of Keith's diagnosis.

I find some sympathy cards difficult to make - but this one came to me very easily!  You see, Keith was a musician and was in several bands here in Adelaide, most recently "Hot Chisel" a Cold Chisel cover band.
