Happy birthday to you

We had two birthdays in our house last week. Hubby was.....on 12th and my baby was 20 on 14th (where have all those years gone?) I didn't get the chance to photograph them before now but they are here now :)
Yet again, it was Kanban to the rescue. I chose these sheets as he is a part time DJ :~) (I will sort out card details tomorrow).

 The next card is made using a House Mouse decoupage sheet from Joanna Sheen (via Create & Craft a few years ago) I thought of this sheet as my daughter has just qualified as a hair dresser. I'm so proud of her as she has done two two year courses in about 18 months. Well done sweetheart.

Sentiments by Kanban

Papers were a freebie in a craft mag ages ago

Assorted paper flowers, gems and lace from my stock

well that's all for today folks. There are 10 of us going out for a meal tonight for DD's birthday as we didn't go last week as it was Race Week last week in Doncaster and I won't go into town during that time. Also, the sun is shining and there is a slight breeze so I'm going to do a bit more ironing and go and weed my garden for what might be the last time this year. I also have some samples to make for a (not so) local hotel.

Thanks for stopping by, take care and I will see you tomorrow.

Wednesday

Another assortment of cards for today but not quite as many as yesterday. It brings my total of 'makes' so far this week to 42....25 OoS and 17 cards although I can't show two yet as they are DT cards. Tomorrow I have two lots of invitations, one for a wedding and one for a golden wedding anniversary.

Today's cards: 

Again I have used a variety of papers and embellishments including House Mouse at Joanna Sheen, Craftwork Cards, Pink Petticoat, Funky Hand, die cuts and lap top generated sentiments.

Birthday card

This card has been commissioned by one of hubby's collegues for her mum in law and my brief was.......something flowery!! lol but it had to be 8" x 8". My mum bought the House Mouse decoupage sheets ages ago from Create and Craft (I think) and decided to share them with me as there were so many (she bought two packs) Decoupage isn't something I do very often, I used to make loads especially when the Morehead sheets cam out but I don't think I've made a decoupage card for a couple of years now. Now I know why....what possesses the artists to put so many tiny bits on the sheets? It took ages to cut out and I chucked the really tiny bits in the bin lol I still got three good layers on it though and am pleased with the end result.

The lilac floral paper was a freebie from a magazine but I don't know which one as it was just in a drawer on it's own.
