25th Anniversary Card

Good morning,

Weather here is a bit rubbish today, no sunshine and it looks like rain is on its way. I'm off out shopping soon with Sophie, so that should cheer us up a bit!

My friend asked me to make a 25th Anniversary card for her husband, she didn't want anything too fussy so I tried to keep it as simple as I could....she was absolutely delighted with the end result and I think the papers I chose worked really well on the overall design.

Golfing Dad (70)

Good morning everyone,

Brrrr, it's been really chilly here over the last few days and the weather forecast in the coming days doesn't look any better either. I think I need to finally give in and dig out my winter coat and stop wearing my Macintosh...its just not warm enough now.

I was asked to make a card for a work colleagues Dad, who recently turned 70...this fab image from Bugaboo immediately sprang to mind as he's so perfect for the occasion. I've kept the design fairly clean and simple and used my fav 'Summer Breeze' papers from Nitwit!

Thanks for stopping by today...I'm always so appreciative of any comments that are left for me, especailly during this busy time leading up to Christmas!

Wedding Anniversary Cards

Good morning,

I almost started off with an apology for my lack of blogging recently, but looking at my most recent posts I seem to start them all exactly the same way :( I honestly don't know where the time goes and feel a bit shell shocked that I'm posting during half-term, with the clocks having gone back an hour over the weekend...summer is officially over!

As I haven't made any cards recently I thought I'd share some anniversary cards I made a while ago but haven't had time to blog yet. I can't claim that I came up with the design though...I was inspired by a card I spotted on Debs blog (Especially For You) earlier this year and liked her design so much I 'borrowed' the idea for 40th, 50th & 60th Wedding Anniversary cards.

I really love this design, so thank you Debs for the inspiration.  I really hope you don't mind me 'casing' your original card design and I can't thank you enough for providing some much needed inspiration for these cards!
