70th Birthday

Mum is 70 in September and they will be out here in the States with us. Looking forward to having a great time! I have used all sorts of Cricut cut outs on this card as well as my new edge punch from Martha Stewart. Ribbon, buttons, pearls etc all from stash! The finished card is A5 size (gotta get some envelopes?!?)

18th birthday cards for a special girl!!

It's my daughters birthday in September so these cards are for her from my husband and I and from her brother. She never looks at this blog so won't see them before her birthday!!! The Easel card is a bit blurry but is made with SU! papers and stickers/buttons and ribbon from stash.

The card below is A5 and uses SU! papers with ribbon, lace, string, stick on pearls etc from stash. The photo doesn't do it justice :(

Quilting!

When in USA do as they do!!!

This is my first attempt at a quilt - it's only the front as I haven't managed to get the batting and back sorted yet. I am going to tie the quilt rather than stitch it.

Not bad for a first timer!! What do you think Sam??

Birthday cards for later in the year.

I bought a new set of stamps - the alphabet. They are really useful and you can put any sentiment you want on your cards. You can see I have used my sewing machine a bit in these too.

Anniversaries in September

A couple of anniversary cards for September. One wedding we went to another we didn't (they were the same day!!)

I have started to use my sewing machine a bit more.

Thank you cards

I think I am going to need a few of these!!!

Eighteenth birthday cards - First post in the USA!!!

Our daughter is 18 in September so all her friends will be next year also!!! Planning ahead I have mass produced some 18th birthday cards for her to take back to school and for us to use as and when needed.

First post from the USA - we have been so busy I haven't managed much but I'm about to start up again. I have a new desk and all my stuff is ready to go. I have also had a look at doing some quilting so that may feature on the blog soon - keep looking!
