Happy 50th birthday

This is for a colleague who has a "significant" birthday coming up. It was inspired by a card I found here http://ctimz3.blogspot.co.uk/2011/10/happy-birthday.html

 I used the Birthday Bash cartridge to cut the candles.

Welcome Sally

My friend Sally is coming to join the team that I work in, and I promised her that if she applied for the post I would bake a cake and make some bunting for her first day.......I didn't feel I could inflict bunting on the whole office, so I made this to stand on her desk. It is only about 12 inches high!! I had to enlist my husband into solving how I could make it stand up, and he suggested bottle tops filled with blu-tack. So.....the uprights are barbecue skewers covered in ribbon, these are pushed into blu-tack which is between two plastic milk bottle tops which I have covered in card, buttons and gems. I cut the flags from "Birthday Bash".........now I just have to bake the cake!!

Welcome Home bunting.....

My mum is in hospital at the moment, and I have made this bunting in anticipation of her coming home (although we don't have a date yet!!). The pennants are cut from "Birthday Bash" and the lettering from "Nursery Rhymes". (My next project is a card for the staff who have been looking after her....watch this space!!).

My first Christmas card!!!

And it is still only May! I did, however, vow to make at least one every week this year, and this is my first so far, so I am actually far behind rather than far in front!

Anyhow, this is a lovely stamp by Penny Black. The saclloped border is cut from Plantin Schoolbook, and the scalloped circle from Birthday Bash. The background is embossed with both the snowflakes and the swiss dots designs. I am entering this card in the "D is for dog" alphabet challenge here http://alphabetchallengeblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/d-for-dogs.html and the card patterns challenge here http://cardpatterns.blogspot.com/2011/05/sketch-117.html

Happy Birthday Karen!!

It is my friend Karen's birthday tomorrow, and she loves her dog....and her cricut machine!!

I cut everything from the Birthday Bash cartridge, and added a hand-doodled line around the card to finish it off.

Good Luck

This is a very quick card made for someone at work, who is leaving us after just a short time. The sun is from Simply Charmed (using a Peachy Keen stamp for the face), and the font is from Birthday Bash.

Birthday Bash Candles!!

I just love these candles from my newest cartridge...couldn't wait to make them into an easel card!!
