Cup of cheer!

I was putting my Son's birthday present together and thought it

needed a little birthday card inside there too.

So I followed a sketch for this card and used the matching

papers, stamps and dies.

It did fit inside perfectly along with the gift holder!

Box Card Tutorial

This fun fold box card was made for my June Newsletter tutorial.

I went with Latte Love Bundle for this one as

it will be for a male birthday.

Inside I have made a pull out card with a pocket for a gift card/money.

or keep an eye out on my YouTube channel where I will

share it in a few weeks time.

We had to rush Brian's Mum to Casualty on Friday as she had

been suffering terrible stomach pains and feeling sick for a few days.

She is still in there now, finally getting a ward bed after 28 hours.

I have to say the nurses and doctors are run off their feet.

Some cope with it well others are just damn ignorant!!

I would not dream of speaking to my elders the way some of

them do, honestly if you can't hack it then maybe it's not

the job for you.

My poor Mother-in-law is like a pin cushion now

and completely exhausted.

We are hoping she doesn't need an operation as she is 84 years old.

Fingers crossed the antibiotics will work.

April Newsletter tutorial

My April newsletter freebie is this card tutorial.

I saw a lady on blog land recently posted a shape like this

and really fancied having a go.

Her blog is called Made by Mandy.

I had to work out the measurements etc but was very inspired by her card.

This one is for my Son's birthday this month.

A Little Latte

1st April, any fools about??

Hope not lol.

My card today is a birthday card for my daughter this month.

She loves her coffee so I thought a card with a pocket

for a voucher or cash would suit her perfectly.

It's a simple enough funfold card to which I added a pocket.

I used the lovely dies to make the coffee cups and spoon.
