Family cards

I finally got around to finishing off my cards for family birthdays before we go off on holiday in two weeks time. Here are a few and will post some more later.







Haste ye back...........

I'm Back

After several months of inactivity I am finally back! My loyal followers must be truly fed-up with me and I have no excuse really. My mojo up and went and have been through the mill with new treatment for my diabetes but at least it seems to be working. I have lost 10 kilos [22lbs] at last count with the hospital and I think I have lost a little more but not sure how reliable my scales are lol. I am so chuffed can hardly believe it so long may it continue.

Now down to business I have my BIL's birthday this month so finally sat down this morning and made a card. Nothing fancy but I love the scene and colours. I mounted scene onto lovely jade coloured card stock and decoupaged the oval picture added a little glamour dust and a ribbon.




Hoping to make a start on my Christmas cards so haste ye back.....

65th Birthday

Got off my backside today and sat and made card for my neighbour's 65th birthday. He loves flowers and gardening so stamped this image of morning glory's by Stamping Up and coloured it with Faber-Castell watercolour pencils. Mounted and layered several times added bow and sentiments. Hope he likes and it doesn't look to feminine.

Again apologies for photo not getting the light right here.

I also finished off another card today for hubby's birthday on Saturday. Hadn't a clue what to do so pumped for a cat image as even if he doesn't admit it he does love cats. This was done with pop out decoupage [which is just as well as my wrists and fingers have been really sore these last few days]. Added the usual sentiments and not much else, so again, hope he likes it as not my usual.



Haste ye back........

Birthday card

It has taken me longer than I thought to make my next card as my diabetes is not behaving and I have been feeling really awful these last couple of days. Not to be beaten I have struggled today and finally finished the card. It is for my DIL's birthday so hope she is not checking out my blog anytime soon.

Stamped and embossed PTI stamps and sentiment then did butterflies again and mounted them onto card. Added gems and ribbon and embossed lines.

Birthday

Three posts in one day, you are spoiled for choice. Got a lot to say today to make up for days of silence! This is just a short one to let you see a couple of cards I made over the weekend.
One is for a recently new friend who was so kind to me while I was ill, she will be 60 years old in December. It is funny really as I have so many friends who celebrate either a birthday or anniversary that month, including myself! I do hope she likes the card. [Sorry about picture - not the greatest]

The next one is another Christmas card - I really like the cardstock on this one and the robin just finishes it off.

Birthday Card

Well I made a start with a simple card for my B.I.Law's birthday. Mens cards can be so difficult to do so I used an image from my Greetings Card CD and then decoupaged the picture 3 times and added ribbon and a few embellishments. Hope he likes it.
