PAUL'S BIRTHDAY

I always make a card for Paul and I wonder each year if he thinks I am mad..... this year I featured Boris the adorable red squirrel we photographed whilst we were on holiday in St Petersburg.  Such a shame there are very few left in the UK.   Happy Birthday Paulie....

TWO MORE TILDA CARDS

Still enjoying making the Tilda cards and am spending far too long on them.  First of all here is one I made for my friend Barbara in our US HQs. She's been having a rough time recently and hope she had a great birthday - her first one since her boys have been away at College.

The next Tilda card was for my penfriend of over 45 years (hard to believe we started writing when I was 9 years old). Thought this 12x12 scapbook paper made a good base card for the image.  Needless to say both cards are photographed badly as the colours are not very true and probably neither of them got to their destinations on time!  My bad......

Long time no post

It's catch up time. There was a mad scramble to finish off and post various cards before our holiday. Here's the cards I made for Anne Bailey.  Really love the Indian Tilda and am looking forward to doing more of these

And here is the one I did for Joan from the Debbie Moore CD I recently got.

And a oriental decoupage creation for my sister-in-law Jaci (I think). I wish I had posted these before my holiday as I cant remember which cards I sent to which person as there was such a flurry of activity!

CONGRATULATIONS IAIN

These are the cards that I love making and sending the most... the ones  that celebrate good news. Congratulations to nephew Iain who is going to university in Liverpool to study Sports Technology. Used my Craft Studio Professional and some images from Google.

JAPANESE TILDA

I love all the new Magnolia Bon Voyage images. Especially love the Japanese and Chinese ones as I have always liked oriental images and the I can use my oriental inspired CDs for backgrounds etc.  A happy marriage of crafting styles. Still need to perfect the Promarker technique but its fun practising!

Here's the one I gave to Anne when we met up last week for a fab day out in Brighton. For once the card arrived before the birthday.

CARD OF THE WEEK

Today Eva in Denmark is marrying her partner Ole and I made this cute Tilda and Edwin card for the department to send. Really enjoyed making this one- was planning it for ages and used K& Co papers and the Glitter Girl's midget gems to finish it off.  It's a card within a card as the ribbon holds the smaller card closed and inside there is a favourite poem of mine 'The Art of Marriage'.

When I was blog hopping last night I realised that this fits the bill for several challenges this week so I will link this page to the following challenge blogs:
