Logical boy

This is one of my favourite stamps for a boy! I used it once before for my son's birthday. He is a clever chap, studying Philosophy at university. The papers on this one came from my stash - I coloured the image with Promarkers, cut the word 'Logical' off a 6x6 sheet and teamed it with the check paper, added the sentiment and a large button and it was all done. I am really pleased with how it turned out. I am entering it into the digistamp boutique monthly competition - September competition and the Promarkers competition Visible image.

My second niece needs a card too!

My second Christmas card came straight after my first. That is the joy of having two nieces. This one is for Alice and uses another beautiful Lili of the Valley stamp along with a new paper pad called 'Festive trimmings'. I just love the green stars and I hope Alice will too. I am also entering this into the Lili of the Valley competition Pretty papers

Christmas cards have begun

I made my first Christmas card last week. It's later than last year as this year I didn't have an appendicitis keeping me off work like I did last Summer!
I have chosen this beautiful stamp from Lili of the Valley and used one of their new paper pads 'Snow Princess' to make my niece Emily a card. I love this image and the papers are beautiful.

Mr DIY

My friend Claire has a lovely husband who turned 39 this week. He has a PHD in Maths and we affectionately call him "The Dr". He is also a busy, busy man and having bought a new house last year he has been incredibly busy working on it to make it just right for his family. This means that a DIY card was perfect for him - this image came from The Digistamp Boutique and I have entered it into their monthly competition - Digistamp Boutique Monthly Competition

A brother's birthday

It's my brother's birthday this month so he needed a card from my children. He's not really a runner, he's more of a cyclist but he does go to the gym. We used Alf from the digistamp boutique and are entering it in the May competition. May competition

Dad's birthday

So, if it's Granddad's birthday, it must be dad's birthday! My father-in-law is a golfer and plays as much as he can but his health hasn't been so good of late so he is slowing down a bit. This digistamp boutique is perfect for him. Once again the papers and sentiments are from Lili of the Valley. I am also entering this into the Digistamp boutique monthly competition - Monthly competition

The papers and the stamps are from Lili of the Valley. The children love it and I am sure Granddad will too. I am entering it into the May Digistamp boutique competition May competition
