Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to you all... It's certainly a different Mothering Sunday today compared to all the previous years... Who would have thought we'd not be able to see, hug and spend time with our lovely Mums.

This personalised card was made and sent in the mail to my Mum... Thought it was very fitting seeing as we're all "social distancing."  Unfortunately, this wasn't received in time for today, so it's been sent via email for her to open this morning.  Fingers crossed she gets it tomorrow! :)

Birthday Boy!

Happy Birthday Finley, wow: 14 years old today!

Couldn't wait to colour up this cute guy and knew it would be perfect for my nephew's card as I know how he loves to surf :)


Have a great day.

Happy Birthday

This birthday card was made for someone special who loves patchwork and quilting ;)  What better way than to create a card to resemble one of her favourite hobbies.

Happy Birthday

Today's special day is a lady who loves her new camper van :)  It's a beauty, just love the colours inside so have matched the card to her interiors, lol.

Pet Thank You Card

Hope you've all had a good weekend.  The weather here has been glorious :)  We combined our weekend with camping and shih tzus, what a fun time we had! lol.

So, here's the card I gave to the lady who organised the shih tzu event.  Hope she will treasure the card :)

Thank You Mandy

Hi there,

Today is a very special day... we're off to a place to meet up with lots of other shih tzus!  I'm not sure what we'll make of it, whether Riley will have a go at everything, but we're definitely looking forward to a fun day ahead!

I have made a Thank You card for the lady that has helped to organise this event.  She has two gorgeous shih tzus, Coco and Hugo, so I made a card to resemble her cuties.

Come back tomorrow to see the card...

Here's a sneak peek:


Hope you have a great weekend.  Until tomorrow...
