Bright and Cheerful Valentine

A couple of days late, but have finally got round to sharing the Valentine Card made for my other half. Was in a bold mood when I made it - hence the lime green with the red - very striking!! Not really sure what my OH made of it - he's always far too polite to say!! 

The red card us from Papermill - always my absolute favourite red card and I always have a supply in my stash. The lime green is Centura Pearl Trends, and the patterned paper is from an old Works paper pad. 

The decorative part is cut from an old Crafter's Companion A6 Create a Card die called Adore, the waste of which created the red heart embellishments, and the fancy red heart. The other large hearts are Crafter's Companion Stitched Edge heart dies, which the "I love you" and the string of green hearts are Diamond Press dies.

Take care,

To the Happy Couple

A very good friend of mine is today marrying a lovely man and starting a new life together. I made this card for them using a Kanban Love and Marriage. 

I used patterned card and paper from my stash to matt and layer with pink card onto the base. The patterned background piece was cut from the pink card using Crafter's Companion Die'sire A6 Daisy Dreams Create a Card die. 

The Kanban topper sits on top of that, and the card is finished with lace, a lace bow, and a Hobby House sparkler.

Special Anniversary

My brother-in-law and sister-in-law celebrated 30 years of marriage this year. I made this 8x8 card for them, using heart toppers and a sentiment from an old Kanban kit.

The background is made from Centura Pearl and Crafter's Companion A3 Double Sided Decadence Card. I used Crafter's Companion Downton Abbey - Downton Decor die, with lace and ribbon to decorate.

Take care,

February Scrapbooking

Afternoon!! I managed to find time today to do my February scrapbook page, following the instructions from the wonderful Jen Fisher aka The Scrapbook Lady. 

But I have to admit, that I only sort of followed her instructions as I turned the layout on its side - and used different colours!!

Instead of the pink heart paper from the 12x12 Little Angel pad, I used the blue dots. And I then chose some of the red papers from the 5x5 Together Forever pad - instead of the pink. I felt it all went better with the photo of my OH and out dog.

The dies are all Diamond Press dies, and came as part of the February scrapbooking bundle.
