Treat yourself

Good afternoon bloggers. Hope you are well and having an enjoyable weekend.

I've had a pottering around day today, washing, ironing and a little cleaning. Managed a little play in my craft room too. Hoping to get back in there later when the boys are settled in bed.

I'm back as promised to show you a girly creation

I have chosen a LOTV stamp for this one, coloured with polychromos.

The DPs are from a Forever Freinds pad. I used some yummy ribbon from Crafty ribbons

I added a sentiment from my stash. The bottom sentiment I printed from a forever friends CD rom.

I finished with pink pearls from WOC (I'm addicted to these, they look great on most projects) lol

Dad

Good afternoon all.. Hope you are well and the ones not feeling so good hope you are better soon.

The weather here is terrible, windy and raining. So after doing some housework and sorting the boys out, I am now planning on a nice few hours in my craft room but before I go and have a play just thought I'd pop by to share another dad card with you

For this one I printed a forever friends topper. Layered onto green and buff card from the papermill.

DP is from the Wellington pack (love those papers). I added a few die cuts of grass at the bottom with some ribbon from my stash. 

I die cut the square with my nesti's  and letters to add to the panels to finish.

Quite happy with how this one turned out.

Diamond Wedding Anniversary

Hello bloggers, hope you all had a great weekend..

We went to our caravan and managed to see a bit of sunshine but it hasnt lasted very long cus it back to dullness AGAIN today..

While we were away I spent a few hours colouring in some images that I could make into cards when I came back BUT when I left them on the table and turned my back for 2 minutes, my youngest son decided to stamp Black ink all over the ones I had coloured. (guess he didnt like them lol).. You really do need to have eyes in the back of your head with our little Ronnie.. lol..

Right so onto todays card, and this is a bit different to what I usually do..

I was asked to make a Diamond Anniversary card for a mum and Dad..  Instead of stamping I had a play with a Forever Friends CD Rom that was free with a magazine quite a while ago..Here is what I came up with:

After printing out the pages I matt and layered onto gold and black card. I embellished the front with organza ribbon, a gold heart charm, black bow and for some added bling some DIAMOND adhesive gems..

I also created the inside pages to match the outside.. 

 

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
