Happy 50th birthday wishes

My good friend Vicky recently celebrated a special birthday and Hannah and I were honhored to attend her surprise birthday party.  Yes she really didn't know, her husband had arranged everything and got in touch with family and friends.  He even catered all the food himself. 

She is a very lucky lady.....

Here is the card I made for her.  As you will see the sketch is the same as I have previously used.

I think this card just shows how easy it is to take a sketch and alter the look by just using a few different things like the colour and embossing folder.

I am still here...........

Well it's Sunday evening and I am just enjoying a little catch up in my newly tided craft room.  My plan is to hit the ground running tomorrow when everyone has left for school and work.

I have been busy with classes, parties, birthday parties and of course half term and Easter.  April is always a busy month for me with family birthdays and of course half term school holidays.  I don't know about you but I seem to get the bare minimum done then and then spend the week after playing catch up before I can start again.

I have lots to show you and have taken some pictures, so I hope to be posting a little more frequently.  I especially need to do so as my nephew Tom is checking my blog.....

To start things off here are the projects we made at a recent class. 

Firstly a cute little box and matching belly band inside was a pretty  note card.

 

Then we moved onto a card in a box....these are very popular at the minute and I CASED this idea from the internet

 

 

Here is a close up.....

Sadly the papers we used are no longer available, but we have some many more for you to choose from.  I love the matching stamp set and framlit dies here, with the gorgeous silver glimmer paper.
