Happy Birthday, Dad!

This is the card I created for

my dad's birthday, which is today.

Stamps: Carabelle Studio - Bird Collage

Hero Arts - Branches

Die cut tiny birds - Memory box

Brusho in Sandstone

Perfect Pearls in Gold Brown (dusted on branches)

The light was appalling this morning,

we had torrential rain most of the day.

So the photo does not quite show the gold shimmer to the

branches.

The photo I took of the card stood didn't come out

clear either. It was a blurry mess!!

Dad loves the birds but I doubt many paid him a visit today for his

birthday. I wasn't too happy going out to work in it!

Mother's Day

On 29th January, my colleague, Hollie,

gave birth her gorgeous little boy, Theo.

He came two months early, but he was

really determined to join us.

After a long month in hospital,

he was allowed home on 1st March.

He is a mini image of his mummy.

How perfect for her to have him home

for her very first Mother's Day.

I made her this quick cute card

to mark the special occasion.

I used Papermania honeycomb stamp

with embossing ink & dusted with

yellow/gold perfect pearls.

Image, free CS cover stamp.

I had intended to share wedding invitations,

but they will keep for another day!
