and another special card....

for a dear friend's wedding anniversary.

It's a New Year...

and I hope it is a happy one for you all.  I've started the new year playing with a cd called Enchanted and featuring the artwork of Linda Ravenscroft - not to be confused with the other cd I have been playing with recently 'Enchanted Dreams'.  This is the first card I have made using images from the cd and I have to say I am delighted with it and looking forward to playing some more.  I had adjusted the colouring on the front pictures of the card to a more sepia tone which worked out well as to finish the card off I needed a couple of flowers and found on the MCS Paper Flowers cd some sepia roses and geraniums which I tinted slightly with Tattered Rose distress ink and decoupaged.  Another one of those 'fly by the seat of my pants' projects which seem to come together so well.

The finished card..

and still more me time....

...as the forum was down all day I put my extra time to good use and made a bag each for d-i-ls.  Just a little pressie each for Chanukah.

The first is Talya's

and the second is Sheryl's

and I have enough fabric over to make two more - just need to find the time.

Three posts in one day

I always make some cards for my s-i-l at this time of year and here's this year's set.  The completed set first..

and now the cards

A Special Wedding Card

A dear friend of mine asked me to make a special card for her grandson's wedding. I hope she likes it.

A spare pressie

I like to keep some little presents by me so that if we get an unexpected invite I always have something to take. The box was empty so I have started on some new bits. The first is this set of notelets in their own storage folder.
