Annie's Birthday Card

Next week my friend Annie is 60!!!
Here is the card I made for her - I bet the postage won't be cheap!!!


I didn't set out do make a double gatefold card (for want of a name!) 
but it just happened.


Just love the large scallop circle punch especially when teamed
with the cup cake!


Here is the back of the card.


Hope she likes it!

Here is one of the cards we made.
It is one I've CASED from a swap I received the other

Training Day Swaps

What a day for inspiration!
Got lots of ideas from the swaps I received from all the other
SU Demonstrators - and here they are.









WOW!!!
Everyone had worked so hard and there are one or two, no, all of
them that I think I will be CASING in the future!
Thank you girls!
That's all for now

Training Day Swaps

Good Evening!
Had a wonderful day today along with 33 other SU Demonstrators
at our quarterly training day in Leeds.
Thanks Mummy Julie - great as always.

One of the things we always do is make swaps for everyone and 
here is the one I made.  It's very similar to yesterdays posting using goodies
which you could earn FREE during Sale-A-Bration (24.01.12 to 31.03.12)


 Here is the arty farty angle.

That's all for now
good night, sleep tight

Sneak Peek!

Sorry not posted for a while but had the dreaded bug -
 sore throat, cough & sniffles - not nice!

I made this card with the Sale-A-Bration goodies I won at Convention!
(Sale-A-Bration starts on 24th January)

I've used Early Espresso Card then stamped the background
 onto Very Vanilla with the stamp set Fresh Vintage (a special set
for Sale-A-Bration) using Lucky Limeade and Calypso Coral ink.


 The rosette is made from the Everyday Enchantment DSP Papers
- also for Sale-A Bration.  Then finished off with Calypso Coral
Ruffled Ribbon.


I made this card for my sister-in-laws birthday last week.
Tomorrow is our quarterly training day in Leeds - can't wait!
So my next posting will be the swaps I've made
 for training day - 35 of them!!!
That's all for now
