Congratulations on your OBE!

My neighbour's cousin has been awarded and OBE - how posh!   She asked me to make a card for her, so I used Jane Gill's evening jacket template.   I downloaded the medal from google images.  

Lewis brings F1 to Crawley!

Well not THE Lewis but little gorgeous bundle Lewis Alexander who was born yesterday the first child of very dear friends of mine.   I am just so excited, can't wait to see him but of course, family visits first.   Anyway, here is card:

I hope you like it x

A Heart for Helen

(Adopted) Daughter No.2's 21st Birthday - the heart idea is from Jane Gill.    The papers I've had for years, flower made from Woodware punches.   Sorry about the poor quality photo but it was taken on my mobile phone and I can't seem to edit it.

Just had to sneak a little of the Blues for my Bro x

Oh how I lurve this card - I wish I could take credit for the design but it's one of the very talented Jane Gill's http://janeelizabeth-flowergirl.blogspot.com/.   However, I did make it and I made the rose.   My little bit of 'prowess' was the match day programme in the pocket!    I remembered he was born on a Saturday and the Blues had a game, so I got a copy of it off 'tinternet and printed it off!  

I don't know what to call this post????

Recipe:
The Daughter stamp is by Papermania and are just over £1!
Flowers are from Craftwork cards
Papers - various Doodlebug

Skateboard Dude

I made this card for Fred, who will be 11 this week - he's really into boarding so this set from Woodware Boy Zone FRCL058 was perfick.  I used a 5.5" square card and cut out the zig-zag pattern and glittered the edges, backed it with the Doodlebug Stars & Stripes paper.   The dudes clothes were paper pieced.  Sic innit?
