Emma and Peter's Wedding

I was asked to help with some of the stationary for the wedding of my friend's brother and his fiancĂ©e. We did the table planner for the evening do. We also made a wishing well to put the cards in.
The colour theme was purple and gold with butterflies.


A rugby card

I made this for OH's cousin. I used a 3D decoupage that had a matching boarder  which I used to cover the join through the middle of the card.

A Musical Card

A birthday card for my musical friend.

I chose the cello image as she plays the cello, I built it into a 3D decoupage. I did the embossed music score with an embossing folder with my Cuttlebug. I used outline peel off stickers for the border and more peel offs for the "Happy birthday" and the notes at the bottom.

A birthday card for my Grandma

I made this "stepper" card for my Grandma's birthday. I saw the design in a magazine making Valentine's day cards. One I got the card trimmed and scored in the right places it wasn't too difficult. I did rumage through all my background papers to find a couple that were different. I added the cakes as it is well known that Grandma has a very sweet tooth! Especially Cadbury's mini rolls!!

Happy birthday Grandma xxx

First attempt at making something with the sewing machine...eek

After receiving a sewing machine for Christmas I thought I'd start by making a simple bag. I've had lots of encouragement from the lovely ladies on MSE so I have a pattern from my local shop and some lovely blue material....here goes......Just hope I don't cut it wonky ;-)
