Fairy wishes

This little fairy completes the trio of cards for a party weekend. Sian is also nine and loves girly things so my daughter Olivia picked this image. The lavender papers are from the new Lili of the Valley collection 'Timeless Victorian' and the image comes from their art pads 'Fairies'.

I am entering this card in the Lili of the Valley Monthly Competition Name That Tune - Lavender Blue (Marillion)

Cycling George

This card was created for George, a school friend of my twins and the second of a triple party. He is a keen bike rider so this stamp from the digistamp boutique is perfect for him. I also used My Mind's Eye papers for this card. I loved the bright banner border at the top fixed with sticky pads to raise it up. The sentiments come from Lili of the Valley.

Anyone for tennis?

My twins have been invited to a triple birthday party which of course means three new birthday cards. They like to keep me busy! This is the first one for Nathaniel who loves to play tennis. This image is from the Digistamp Boutique and the papers are from a pack called playdate from My Mind's Eye.

The Book of Love

My son wanted a special Valentine card for his girlfriend. He didn't want traditional colours of red but her favourite colour purple. He chose the stamp himself from my Lili of the Valley collection and it suits them so much as they are both university students but at different institutions. I am entering this in the Lili of the Valley Monthly challenge - Name that tune! as it represents "The Book of Love" by Peter Gabriel.

Valentine wishes

This card was made for a Valentine but it is such a cute image it could be used for a loving message or an anniversary card. It was stamped onto card and also onto patterned paper and paper pieced to make the birds patterned. The image is from digistamp boutique.

Another new baby!

Another work colleague has had a baby boy called Lucus. I used the opportunity to make a card with one of my newer Lili of the Valley stamps called 'Just arrived'. I am entering this into their February blog challenge - 'Name that tune'. The card relates to the song 'Living in a box'.

Time to be pampered

A birthday is the perfect excuse to be pampered. I love this image from the digistamp boutique. I printed it onto floral paper and paper pieced it to make the floral bath. I am really pleased with how it turned out. My sister in law Cathy loved it.

You're never too old for chocolate!

Auntie Cathy celebrated her birthday at the weekend. She loves Green & Black's chocolate. This image was perfect to make a card for her from my three children. It comes from the digistamp boutique.
