February Fun

Well, February may be the shortest month of the year but it is full of celebrations!

Here are a few of the cards I've made since I last blogged.  I won't share them all just yet since there are 2 weeks of February left, and another 3 birthdays to go (provided I haven't forgotten any)! 

First up, a "congratulations - a new job" card made for a friend, this card uses the Time Flies collection from Craftwork Cards and the New Job circle stamp from Lili of the Valley


Next we have a card that I was asked to make for a friend's step mum's 60th Birthday.  I was told she liked the Me to You tatty teddy, so I found this gorgeous little topper (from a local craft store) and combined it with lettering using the Printers Block stamps (also from Craftwork Cards) inked with Stampin' Up! Cherry Cobbler Classic Stampin' pad.


I love making personalised baby cards, and this one was no exception, even if it was made in a little bit of a rush before driving 200 miles down south for a weekend away with a friend! Thankfully, the rush did not affect the quality and I received a lovely message from the new mum which read "Thank you for the card, it is gorgeous! I am going to find a frame and put it up in his bedroom" I feel so privileged to be able to provide a memento for such a special occasion that can be kept and treasured for years to come.  This one is made again using the stamps from Lili of the Valley and papers from Dovecraft Back to Basics range.



Moving on to my February birthdays, first we have a simple but gorgeous DL card for my best friend, again using the Time Flies collection. I love this collection, I just hope others love the cards I make using it! :-)


Finally for today, an adorable card made for my mum, featuring Craftwork Card's Warren Rabbit and I also got to play a little with the Liquid Pearls to make a speech bubble message :-)


Hope you enjoyed your visit, please come back again soon and hopefully there will be more cards for you to view :-)
