Engagement card for Mike and Toni

On Xmas Day my son finally gave me my Xmas wish of a daughter in law. We waited nearly 7 years (so did Toni) to get our wish granted. Toni is an absolute sweetheart and we are delighted to have her officially as part of our family.

My favourite photo of Toni and Mike

The colours were chosen as those are the colours for their wedding in January 2013.

The actual card is inside the box.....

Partially open........

Fully open. I have put an M on the top square which you can't see in the photo.

The cake was a bit fiddly to make, but I am very pleased with the end result. I think I shall make another for Savannah's anniversary birthday in May as she will be away at school when it arrives.

Till next time happy crafting

Valentines card for a special someone

I made a very special card this year for Savannah and hope that when she receives it in the mail at school that it will make her smile. She's feeling a bit homesick at the moment and says that she misses me growling at her. I never thought I'd hear one of my children say they missed that.
I am trying to make a card each week for her so that she can put them on the wall in her room.
This card was made using only punches and 1 stamp.  Its amazing what you can do with a few punches. There is an extra heart on the circle as you guessed it Mrs messy fingers (me) managing to get ink on the cream cardstock).

I sent another card card on the weekend like the previous post but it had stripes and a bling collar but I forgot to take a photo of it before I sent it off. With one child away at school and another in Papua New Guinea I am finding the house very quiet and quite lonely. After 29 years of kids we finally have the house to ourselves and I think its going to take some time to get used to it all.
Till next time
Happy crafting
