Mother's Day

Using the same layout, just a different colour combo, this is the card I made for my Mum.

Wedding Card

Hi all,

A while back I was asked to make two wedding cards for the happy couple but it's only now that it's safe to upload to my blog.

The below card uses the much loved and retired Bridesmaid Speciality Series Paper which I have teamed up with Rich Razzleberry and mink cardstock as the base.

Happy Birthday!

Hi all,

Well hope you're all keeping well and looking forward to what today may bring :)

Today is a special lady's birthday and one of her favourite colours is Melon Mambo (I couldn't agree more). Towards the end of last month I was really organised and made a couple of birthday cards in advance for a few birthdays I have this month, so here's one I made earlier:
