Thank you

Thank you to Clare and Sarah for your opinions. I have decided to put the heart on the photo as both of you said it looked nice, also my hubby said it looked nice there too.

I have now completed this project and wrapped the card in gold tissue paper, I have put ribbon down the middle of the box (turned it portrait first) with a heart on top of that too. I am happy with the result. I would love to see the the reaction of Ju's Mother-in-law reaction when she opens the box as it is such a personal card.

Thanks again for your input girls, its must appreciated, I will post all the photos tomorrow when I have taken the photos in daylight.

Hopefully I can now get on with some more card making and enter some challenges this week.

Advice needed please !!!

Before I show this full golden wedding anniversary project I have almost completed can anyone please give me some advice. I can't make up my mind if to put the wedding details and date in the heart over the wedding photo or whether it would look better on top of the gold box I have made, I have shown it over some ribbon on top of the box but at the moment the box is just gold with nothing on top. My friend was saying it would look nice with the photo but she has told me to do whatever looks right and she hasn't seen any of it yet. If I put it on the photo Ron will lose a bit of his leg in the photo.

Please give me your comments on what you think looks better, thank you to anyone who has the time to do this little favour for me.

I'm working on a very special project

I have not posted any cards over the last couple of days as I have been working on a very special project which my best friend Ju asked me to make. Her in-laws will be celebrating their golden wedding anniversary on the 3rd Feb, that is incredible in this day and age. I was given a few photos and asked to come up with something, I am not a scrapbooker at all, I just make cards and 3d items but I was willing to have a go. I hope to share this project with you tomorrow once I have taken some photos in the daylight. I'd appreciate some feedback if anyone is willing to comment on the post I will do tomorow.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend, thanks for looking x

2 Valentine Concertina Tag Cards

I have been asked to make some valentine cards by some of my friends partners for my friends. They saw my other one I posted a short while ago and wanted something similar, Both cards are similar but they have different forever friends bears on them so I thought I would show them in one post.

The card is Bazzill Dotty 12 x 12 Phoenix card, it has embossed dots all over it although this is not very clear in the photos.

The bears are from a valentine decoupage pack. I have used 3d foam pads to 3D them. The ribbon is Anita's and I have cut the white hearts out with a small heart punch. You can get two of these cards out of 1 sheet of the 12 x 12 card. I hope they will be pleased with them.

I am going to enter them into a couple of challenges this week.

The first one is a new challenge blog called Just cute bears Blog here where their theme is one for the girls

The second one is Die cut dreams Blog here where their theme is bears

and the third is Stamp with Sarah Kay Blog here where their theme was to make a valentine/love card.

A Thank you card

I have made a thank you card today. The image is a Sugar Nellie Stamp which I have coloured in with Promarkers . The backing paper is from the new A5 Daisy and Dandelion paper pad. I have used by rectangle and oval nesties to cut out the image and sentiment which I have used peel off letters for. I added some Fabric Prima flowers with brads in the middle as I thought the top right hand side of card looked a little bare. The image and sentiment are raised with 3D foam pads and the flowers are stuck on with pinflair silicone glue.

I am entering this card into a challenge this week run by Carols Sketch Fun blog here as I have used their lovely sketch this week.
