Happy 75th Birthday

********************

A friend that hubby and I met in the Algarve many years ago is celebrating her 75th birthday.

Dies - New York Collection
Seam binding ribbon
Hand made stick pins



I was admiring the jewellery a lady named Sandie was making in her shop and she very kindly gave me some antique looking findings which I have used for the stick pins. She even put them in a storage box for me - how kind is that :)

 

 

Tomorrow I'm off for a little break for 9 days. Take care everyone, I'll catch up with you all when I get back.

Blue Birthday

*************

For a lady who likes blue :)

She is known as Gerry hence the large gold stamped initial.
The flower was salvaged from a silk Christmas table decoration and I think it is a  Christmas Rose (hellebore) - it was white but think now that has been dyed it could pass for a blue poppy. The leaf came from some other silk flower arrangement.

Ingredients
Freebie paper
Ribbon
String/twine
Pearls
Net
Sue Wilson die

I tried to lighten the twine with white paint, It didn't turn out like I expected but I quite like the result.

White Wedding

***************

Oh dear! I've been neglecting my blog and have had to tend to the garden instead but have managed to enjoy the sunshine when possible. I have been making cards but haven't had the time to post them here.
I also decided I had to do some crafty tidying and managed to loose/mislay? 4 dies and a lovely A5 size background stamp :(

I'm hoping to go to the evening reception of a lovely couple, the groom I've known for years.

Supplies
Spanish Collection background
Californian Collection San Fransisco
Greeting computer generated and cut with unknown die
Pearls

All layers are popped up with foam tape with a sparkly layer (iced snow) underneath the BG die

 You can just about see a bit of the sparkle. It does look better IRL :)
