A Card

Wouldn't be without them but sooooooo many relatives means so many cards!!!

I am sure there is a better way of doing this - but I don't know it!!   I was picked to win some lovely stamps on Georgina's blog (address above) My Secret Place.

I have a few female birthday's coming up so I went into production - the results are below.

 Thanks Georgina

these are very simple cards but I do think the stamp will lend itself to lots of fuss ie frills and bows - so may be I will try that next time. 

Next ......

Grandson's birthday mid February.  We bought him a red guitar for Christmas so this stamp (and the inspiration) came from LOTV.  Bought several stamps from them recently - so more cards will be arriving here for a little while yet.

The photographs don't show the backing too well but it is guitar music distressed with 'old paper' ink and then sprayed with Perfect Pearls 'sunflower sparkle' I also dabbed the sparkle onto the music book the little boy is playing from.

Variations of an earlier card

Still using my free stamp - love it.

 and more cards - glad I don't send one to every relative I have - I would never come up for air!!

Hannah's Star Book

Finished - I hope she thinks it is special enough!

To encourage her back to England soon the luggage label says 'Chicago to Manchester England'

A few of the tags

Happy Birthday Hannah xx

Birthday invitations

As you can see I have a big birthday coming up - here are the invites I made - sorry I forgot to let you see them.

That's another free stamp used

I am getting carried away - another wrapping paper done - nothing very intricate but I think it will qualify as crafting!!
