Happy Birthday Poppie!

Hello.

Today is James' cousin's birthday. The card we are sending her uses Felicity from the 60's Girlfriends Collection by Make It Crafty. She is backed on a dotty paper from my scraps and a music note paper from the Bird Song pad by First Edition Papers. To finish I used a Forever Friends sentiment.

Christmas Cards

Hello.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas! I'm going to share all the Christmas cards I didn't post in time, before it gets too far past Christmas. I'm not going to write a lot in this post as there are quite a few pictures. There is just a quick list under each card to say what was used.

Vintage bear

Hello.

I haven't blogged for a while as I haven't really made anything. When I have had time for crafting I just haven't felt like making anything. But today I got to spend most of the day at my craft desk and I've had some Christmas music playing so I've been working on my Christmas cards.

I bought some 8x8 cards last month to make Christmas cards for mine and James' families and this is the first one I've used. I kept this one fairly simple just three squares of paper, a stamp, some brads and some faux stitching. That lovely image was from a magazine freebie set by Adam Pescott. The holly paper is from the Christmas Village 6x6 pad by First Edition Papers, and the red paper is from Papermania's Vintage Christmas 8x8 pad. I'll decide who's getting which card when I have them all ready.

Crafter's Companion

Hello.

I recently bought a couple of Crafter's Companions stamp sets. They are so sweet I had to use them straight away. This is the couple of card's I made with them.

The first one uses the Grandma set. My Grandma's birthday is coming up later this month so I might send this one to her. I used a paper with a hopscotch pattern for the background to keep with the theme of childhood games.

The second card uses the Best Friends set. I knew I wanted to use this floral ribbon which was recently given to me by James' mum, so I coloured their dresses in to match it.
