wedding table settings

I spent mostof the day yesterday making these table setting hangers for my brothers wedding coming up in February.

They decided to use photos from places they have been and the large photo is double sided and will be attached to the tables centerpiece. The placesetting cards will be hung on a board. The wedding is a picnic theme and therefore the red gingham ribbon and red and white theme has been included to match the wedding invites and thankcards made last year.

Scrapbook page - page maps - Tigers

It's been a while since I made any cards as we had a lovely long weekend which was full of daylight and sunshine. It's been a long time coming so I had to get outside and enjoy the nice weather while it lasts.
I finally got around to making a scrapbook page tonight, based on a page map from my new Becky Fleck Page Maps book.... I took these photo's a few months ago and have decorated the page using my new cuttlebug alphabet, Hippie Chick, the blossoms from boho blossoms punch, SU dsp, the heart from the SU level one punch potpurri stampset, nestabilites for journaling with dotted lines stamp from SU Live your dreams set.

More Christmas cards

Christmas cards are by far my favourite to make..

This first one is inspired by a femo design I saw recently in a magazine, I didn't use femo though as find it too brittle and breakable so just went with cardstock...







Next is the lovely as a tree, tree on it's side and the delighful decoration baubles hanging below....

Then a simple bauble with a Christmas saying stamped on top....











And lastly another Santa in the chimney card but this time with a more appropriate saying - from the just believe set.....

MOJO 160 Sketch

get well - another take on my bed card

Here is another take on my get well bed card, this time I have added a book in front and a cast onto the leg. One of the tutors at work had a car accident on monday and is in hospital with a broken leg, she is one lucky lady and a tough cookie too so will be on the mend very soon.. she teaches our First Line Management online programme hence the book being a text book for the programme.....
