May Birthday

Hello!

This is a special post as my daughter's birthday is on May 7th but due to
certain circumstances I had to send her her card early.


I have once more used Graphic 45 Time to Flourish and very happy with the outcome!
These papers are awesome!

Thanks for looking and happy crafting!

Fairy Fun

Hello!

Recently I bought Graphic 45 Once Upon A Springtime and shared it with my friend
as we both have grand daughters who love Fairies.
I saw a box made up on the G45 Blog by Solange Marques and fell in love with the design
so thought it would make a lovely birthday present for my 9 year old grandie.  There is quite a
lot of work to it but then I do have until June 1 to complete it.  In the meantime I have made
up a birthday card for her.


I have used:

Graphic 45 'Once Upon a Springtime' Collection and fussy cut some elements
Spellbinder Dies: Sprigs
Punches: EK Leaf, Carl Mini Sakura which fitted perfectly over the printed flower.
Liquid Pearls.

Thanks for looking and happy crafting!

Hugs & Kisses

Hello!

Well, I will let you into a little secret - It's our 40th Anniversary today!  My husband sent me
a beautiful card over the net with the most sentimental inscription - he really has a way
with words!

Here is the card I made


The designer papers are from Graphic 45 'Time to Flourish', the design is from
Gloria Stengel (designer for G45) with a few of my own little touches!


Thanks for looking and happy crafting!

April Birthday Card for Lyn W

Hello!

I made this card for my Dil's mother whose birthday it was yesterday (so now I can add it to my blog)!
Yes you guessed it - I have used G45 papers 'Time to Flourish'.  The papers are so beautiful and 
so much can be done with them.  I have another lovely card for a friend who has a birthday this
month but I will only show that later in the month.


I was very happy that she loved her card!

Thanks for looking and happy crafting!

Good Luck

Hello!

I joined a Free On line Tag class using Graphic 45 'A Time To Flourish' Papers

This stack gives 2 sheets of paper for each month of the year and is really beautiful but what
am I going to make with it?  I don't want to make tags only cards.  The lessons are easily
converted into cards which I have done with mine.   I have used the March papers, which 
 has a St Patrick's Day theme and as I am not Irish or have any Irish friends I used it to 
practise.  I have virtually case'd the design from the January lesson.


Thanks for looking and happy crafting.
