50th Birthday Wishes

A card I was asked to make for a Hedgehog lover !!

I had purchased this image from Digistamp Boutique a long time ago 

and was perfect for this request. I married it up with Nitwits papers 

and a ribbon from my stash.

Today's card was made for my beautician's father to send to his wife - the poor man has been in hospital since July with vascular problems...fingers crossed he will be allowed home for Christmas dinner.

Keep it Clean and Simple Reminder

Hi all...

Sorry for my absence from blog land - and although have made lots of cards have had very little time to blog.

I can honestly say I only have Eleanor's gifts to wrap and then Christmas can commence.

Hope all your preparations are coming to a close and that you are now ready to enjoy !!

Today's card is for a very, very special friend - who is most certainly one of lifes gorgeous people - inside and out. It was her birthday last week and she loved my card.

I simply used Bucket of Roses Delight and matted it on some Anna Maria designs card.

Thank you for stopping by and have a stressless couple of days
