90th birthday card


Today is my mothers' 90th birthday, quite
a milestone! We celebrated yesterday with 
family at a nearby restaurant. I like to 
personalize special cards with photos. The
photo of my mother was taken in WW2, when
she was in the army, before children, 
grandchildren and great children. During the
week I made her a scrapbook album about her life,
 which was a big hit when I gave it to her at the 
restaurant yesterday.
I made the card with die cuts, SB paper,
paper flowers, ribbon, peel offs  and used a 
MS punch for the border.

Baby Boy


This little man reminds me of my grandson,
a real little climber at a very early age.
 I saw the idea of making this card, in a 
 recent issue of a Dutch magazine. I used a
birdcage die, 3d image, a stripe of rhinestones
and embroidered the border.

Seated Girl


I have had my eyes glued to the telly, watching
the Australian Open tennis, what an amazing
final on Sunday night! Now I'm back into my craft 
room, I made this card last night. I made the 3d
image, attached a die cut, pearls, paper flower, 
chip board label and punched gate background.

Male Birthday Card


I thought I'd better make some birthday
cards for my brothers, so here is my first 
attempt. I used a Wild Rose Studio stamp,
coloured it with watercolour woodless, 
pencils but unfortunately being so warm 
here, the colour dried too quickily! 
The background has been embossed with a 
CB swirls embossing folder (my favourite), 
finished off with some peel-offs, 3d glitter
glue and ribbon.

3d image and added some peel-offs into the
corners.

Friendship Birthday Card


The weather in Perth is sooo perfect lately,
warm days, fresh afternoon sea breeze and
cool nights but I suppose the hot days are 
ahead. My card this week I have used a 3d
image, peel off sentiment, a little paper flower,
die cut and I have punched the background
card.
