A birthday card

Hya,

What a lovely day it has been here in Leeds today. I took myself off to a farmers markey this morning and had a great time taste testing and buying local produce. I'm a sucker for nice cheese and a fancy cake. :) Then this afternoon I have been to a wool factory with Karen, who was having a big sale on. I have got in to knitting as much as card making. I have found it very relaxing.

So I have a card to show you today that was done for a friends birthday.

The colour combo is Whisper White and Island Indigo. The back ground is a stamp called En Francais, with the coloured circles layered on top. The greeting is from the Curly Cute stamp set, which I have used quite alot. The edging was made using the Scallop Trim Border Punch. I have then finished off with a bow made from the Whisper White Organza Ribbon and the Pearl Jewels.

Well that's me for now. I hope you likey. I'm off to get a few things ready for work for tomorrow.

Have a good week.

Katies Card

Hya

How has your week been? Mine has been busy but ok. I only have two weeks left to finish my course so there has been abit of a push to get everything up to finishing point. Phew!!

Today i have had a lovely day. Lauren and I went to the Harrogate Papercraft Show at the Harrogate Showground. Whilst there I bumped into quite a few Stampin' Up sisters. I also met my sister in law who I haven't seen in absolutley ages. It was lovely to see her and also be able to talk craft with her, so 'Hi Elaine you and your lovely friends made my day today'. I got so much inspiration whilst there and didn't spend too much either.

I wanted to show you a card that I made for my friends daughter. Katie has finally qualified as a nurse in January. I am so pleased for her. She has put so much hard work in to the last five years that she totally deserves every bit of this. It hasn't been an easy road for her but she certainly will make the most wonderful nurse there can be. It just shows that if you put the work in it reaps in all the rewards.

I have used a Jolly Nation character which just fit the bill perfectly. The card stock I have used is a Very Vanilla layered with Brocade Blue (which is retired now). The greeting is from the stamp set Curly Cute stamped with Night of Navy ink.

So off to look at my goodies (yet again!!)

Have a lovely week,
