Sex & The City



Finally I have watched this film!! Think I will have to watch it a second time to apprciate it as my husband was sitting next to me thoughtout the film tutting - you know, like men do....grrr!!

Anyway, I thought I would post up a card that I used SATC as inspiration for. I had to make a card for a lady who was a stylist and was to make it simple, and to involve the city (completely stumpted me I can tell you!).

This is what I came up with and the lady loved it!!

Here comes the bride!



Hello all - and how are you on this lovely sunny day?

I was asked to do a card that was dark turquise in colour (to match the wedding theme), and to also have the bride and grooms name on the front. It also had to be 'modern'.

This is what I came up with. Wotcha think?

Posting is just like buses...

... I don't post for ages and then I do two on one day!!

I have made two more cards - I am into brown at the moment - think it looks lovely.

First card is for a mate's brother - just decided to keep it simple, and think it turned out ok.



The other card was for a friends 3rd wedding anniversary. I got these gorgeous hearts at some stage and thought they would look lovely on the William Shakespear gold card. I added three gold brads next to the couples name to signify its their third anniversary.

Quite like this one..!!





Bye for now xxx

Gosh, where does the time go?



Howdy doody everyone.

Well, what a weekend. I finally made my daugthers 'big girl' bed up at the weekend and took the bars down off my little boys cot - they now both love their 'big beds' but my, where does the time go? Thought I would post a piccie of the two of them in their new beds. We had to go to Ikea to get them both new covers to pick out - nice and bright...not my choice!!!

My little babies are growing up :o(
