A weekend of celebrations

Judging by the amount of anniversary cards I'm making at the moment, I swear everyone gets married from July to November!!!...Yes, yes I know that's wedding season, but it's getting more and more complicated to come up with different ideas!!! Not that I'm complaining...no honestly, I'm really not, it's just getting a tad repetitive!!! ...Ooo and Mum's just announced that we seem to have done a lot of Red, White and Blue projects lately...well err it's a very British year isn't it!!

Anyway, back to my reason for this post ... I've got a few cards to share...starting with a wedding card...

Sometime ago, Donna asked us to make a wedding card for her Niece Stacey who got married yesterday. After a lot of "umm" and "does this match" Mum made this card. Perfectly wedding themed I think!!

At the same time as the wedding card, Donna also aked us to make an Aunty and Sister birthday card for Elaine. Seeing as I know Elaine likes ducks, I came up with this ...

Don't you think the little ducky's are cute!! As the card was from her three Niece's it was only right that I placed three little ducks on the card too!!

With the Aunty card made, Mum then came up with this project for the Sister card ...

I'll let you in on a little secret ...you see all those tiny little pink flowers?? Well, Mum hand stuck all of those on...there was a lot of "aaahhh's" and a lot more that went with that sticking too!!!

Hope you all had a great weekend.

27/07/12

Lets face it, most of us will remember this date for one reason...The London 2012 opening ceremony. However, one very special person will remember this date for another reason...it was also her 21st birthday. Remember Bethany who celebrated her 18th birthday a couple of weeks ago??? Well, today is her Sister Becca's 21st birthday.

Again  we've known Becca since she was...well since way back when she was still shorter than me!!! (trust me, at not quite 5ft tall, that takes some doing!!)... I personally started working with Becca when she was just 16...it seems like just yesterday I was teaching her how to use the tills and hang trousers the correct way...and now all of a sudden she's 21 (and considerably taller than me!).

Just like Bethany, we were asked to make a few cards and gifts for Becca. I can't really tell you much about them all without giving it all away, so I'll start by showing you this ...

A special basket for a special day...when we were asked to put a basket together, we just couldn't resist making it a British theme to tie her gift in with the olympic day...

Luckily it helped that her favourite things were available in the British theme..maltesers, original source ...even the jelly babies were available in the London mascot shapes!!!

Plus of course she got some personalised bunting and even her own gold medal (although apologies of it melts!!).

So that's the gift out of the way ... want to see her cards??? haha ok, first up there's this card that I made to go along with this gift...

I've of course stuck with the red, white and blue theme to make it match her gift. Both the gift above and this card were from Donna, Ed and their three girls...hope you liked them Becca.

Next up there's the card from us ... for months I knew what I wanted to do with this card, but I couldn't quite bring myself to make it in case I couldn't get it as good as it looked inside my head!!!...Eventually though I gave in and made this ...

Another red,white and blue theme...only this time tatty has bunting with the date on it ...

then there's the bunting at the top with London 2012...

and there's even the little girl (that I think looks a bit like Becca) holding her union flag with "Becca 21" on it. As much as I didn't want to do the card in case I couldn't make it special enough...I'm actually pretty proud of how it turned out. Ooo and just like Bethany's, it's also got a candle to match ...

Hope you liked it RC!!!

Last of all on Becca's list was the card Bethany asked us to make for her Sister. When Becca asked us to make a card for Bethany, I knew what I wanted to do...I also secretly hoped Bethany would then ask us to make a card for Becca...so when she did I was delighted...my plan would work!!! Not only did I use the "little Sister" ribbon on Bethany's card, but ...

I also got to use the "Big Sister" ribbon on Becca's card!!! Two special cards for very  special Sisters on their special birthdays.

Hope you had the most amazing day Becca and you liked your cards and presents.

Football Pirates!

It's been one of those weeks this week, where no matter how hard you try, you just can't seem to catch up with where you need to be!! It's honestly been one thing after another. So today I've got a few round up projects that I've been meaning to share with you, but just haven't had the chance. 

First up there's a card we were asked to make for a pirate loving Nat who was about to turn 30!!! After playing about with a few things, Mum managed to come up with this ...

Ooo yes, that is indeed tatty teddy dressed as a pirate!! We'd asked to put "to my Girlfriend" and "30th birthday" too, but when playing about with the wording the "oh Ship you're 30!!" just seemed much more appropriate haha

Next up are a couple of cards that were made for Jackie's Grandson Lewis. Originally when we were asked to make a card, we were told he likes Lego heroes factory. After googling it to find out what the heck it is, I came up with this ...

...however, after seeing his Dad's football themed birthday card I'd previously made, Jackie changed her mind. Apparently Lewis had loved the football boot card so much that he'd wanted it for himself!!! So with a bit of adapting, Lewis also had this card ...

We hope bot Nat and Lewis loved their cards and enjoyed their special days.

Hello everyone,Mum here doing the blog today.Little is busy making anniversary cards.As you can see I have been making more keyrings. This time they are Owls and I think very cute.Am going to have to stop making keyrings and come up with different ideas,watch this space.....

As you can see the weather was nice so had them hanging in the tree,hope the weather holds and that summer is now here...
