Celebration time

over on CBC Crafts by Carolyn forum. 

The forum will celebrate it's 9th birthday on the 12th March.

I've been a member for just over 6 yrs now. How time flies!!

A competition has been organised to make a birthday card for the forum

so here is my effort.

I used these lovely sentiment stamps, stamped onto a background made with my background stamp & distress ink

and made the middle sentiment using my small alphabet stamps.

The cup & saucer is a freebie stamp from Craft Stamper magazine,

stamped onto the same paper as the circular sentiment at the top of the card

which I cut using my scalloped circular nestie & stamped with my new

Just Rite set, & the centre sentiment is another Craft Stamper freebie which I've just used the centre sentiment part of the stamp.

To finish I added the heart shaped button 

with the ribbon threaded through & tied in a bow. 

The underlying ribbon is the same with ric rac braid on the top.

Get Well Soon card

A builder friend has had an accident - falling off a roof!!

2 broken ankles, broken pelvis & broken thumb!

He is in hospital so a Get Well card was needed ...

I have this appropriate cute Whiff of Joy stamp

which I coloured with my copics

cut out & mounted it on the orange check paper

and added a silver button

I added the ribbon, stamped the sentiment straight onto the card

and used my white gel pen for the faux cross stitch

and mounted on the blue checked backing paper.

Get Well soon Dan!
