Sassy Heels

 

Good afternoon.

I have a little detour from showing you Christmas cards. There have been quite

a few birthdays recently for which I had to make cards, and this is one of those.

We have known the recipient of this card since before she was born. She is from

a beautiful family, and has grown from a sweet bubbly little girl into a lovely 

young women. (where have those 21 years gone?!).

Isn't it frustrating when sparkly papers do not photograph well...the shoe, '21', and solid

black matting were all cut from glittered cardstock, and the gorgeous backing paper 

has lots of sparkle on it.

This shoe is a totally glamorous fashion accessory, but I really

can't imagine wearing it for a whole evening of dancing. 😬

Paper - has been in my stash for 'yonks' - it could be Christina Re?

Peel-off sticker is from my junk stash

I will be back, hopefully tomorrow, with another Christmas card, so until then thank you for visiting.

Stay safe,

Jennifer.  xx

Daisy Thanks

 

Hello fellow bloggers. After a 3 month absence I am hoping to post more

regularly. Both John and I have had health issues, but during the long break

 I have not been completely idle...I have made many of my Christmas cards

as well as creating a large mixed media art work for a wedding gift (which

sadly has had to be postponed for a second time due to this awful virus).

Several months ago I drove 7 hours north to a reunion for those of us who began

our secondary schooling in 1963😲...yes, that long ago! I had a wonderful week-

end, catching up with old friends and reliving many memories. A pleasant surprise 

was that three of our teachers attended. The reunion, almost 2 years in the planning

 was so well organised, mostly by one lady living approximately 1,500 kms (1,000 miles) 

away from the reunion. To thank Jenny for her mammoth effort, 

I gave her this card (with a box of choccies).

I thought the stamped sentiment inside the card was perfect for 

the occasion.

A closer look at my handmade daisies and the die-cut greeting.
