Happy Birthday Nephew!

I had to take a short time out from report writing to share the birthday card that I made for my nephew, who turned 17 two days ago - Happy Birthday!  I decided to keep the card clean and simple as he is growing up - next stop provisional driving license.

Sparkling Spirelli

I knew as soon as I saw this mask that it would create a simple but stunning effect.  Happy birthday to a crafty friend!

For You

I have been wanting to try out these stamps ever since I saw the talented Leonie Pujol introduce them and the fantastic reverse stencil method.  When I first saw the samples, I couldn't believe that such an effective and exciting method of creating a sentiment hadn't been thought of before!  

Happy Birthday - How Time Flies!

This card is one that I adapted from a card made with the fabulous Phill Martin at his recent Craftathon.  The original used the blossom collection, but as I wanted a more masculine look and I have many of the stamps from the Timeless Collection, I adapted the card and used a 'Decadent Denim' colour scheme.

Happy Birthday Son

My own birthday never makes me feel my age, but somehow, when my children get a year older, I feel it more!  I am really proud of my middle son, who has started a business from nothing and built it up over the last year.  He's very into gaming and computers, so I felt this card was appropriate.

MDF Book - 60 is the new 40!

Happy birthday to my brother-in-law who happens to share his birthday with my middle son.  I made this for him to complement the MDF book that I made for my sister's 50th birthday last year.

Congratulations on The New Arrival

This is the card that I made for my colleague on the arrival of her beautiful daughter.  Congratulations to the whole family!
