Friend's Birthday

It was also the birthday of a very close friend of mine this week, and had to make sure she got her card before i posted it too! that would have been embarrassing wouldn't it?
I've fallen in love with the stamping gear stamps, and made this for her, as she loves pink... this is the result!
Happy Birthday Mumfie

Bombshell birthday

It was my son's birthday this week, and i had to make sure he got his card before i posted it!
He loves the sailor Jerry tattoos, so thought the bombshell stamps would be perfect!

I've already fallen totally in love with them and just want to thank Cat Protection in Basildon, fantastic, helpful and total superstars! Unsung heroes who do the most wonderful job looking after all these little waifs n strays, happy ending here with these 2 little beauties!

3 birds...

Hi all, how you doing?
I've found these cards i made too last year, with the Stampin Up bird punch, which i think is pretty cute little punch! 
 The following 2 i was having a 'negative' phase i think so had to try and do negative colour versions, not sure which one i prefer?


Until next time
