Birthday for a Best Friend

I love the image on this card it was from a Kanban kit that I bought ages ago and quite a quick card really, I just added the ribbon and Nestabillites label with a stamped message

Some More Sports Cards

Some more sporty cards all with background papers that I made myself greetings are on Nestabilities labels

Trumpet

Quite a simple card for my Great Nephew who has just gone to Grammar school and started playing the trumpet in the school orchestra, I printed my own background paper and the trumpet off clip art, a Spellbinders Label with an adhesive greeting.

Sapphire Anniversary

can,t believe it has been 45 years since my best friends Margaret and David got married this is their card the glittery papers are from Deecraft's iris folding strips I can,t remember where I got the background card from as I have had it so long. the numbers 45 and greeting are coloured peeloffs.

Anyone For Tennis

I was struggling for a teenage birthday until I was watching the tennis and remembered that I had these tennis racquet stickers and tennis ball,I printed my own paper from some clip art and the greeting is cut with spellbinders labels

Grandparents

I have just heard that my friends have become Granparents for the first time I printed the gingham paper in word , the teddies are made with a little punch and the corners are a Cuttlebug die <>

Bookmarks

some bookmarks I made for the latest swap with free stamps from Craft Stamper,they are all the same size it,s just the pictures

65

A 65th Birthday Card for a friend
the bus is a vintage Lincolnshire coach as he was born in that county
I printed the greeting and the bus image on photo paper,and then cut with Nestabilities labels layered with green gloss card and gold card ,number 65 is from Quick kutz Studio set.

Boating

First card made this year , for a 4 year old boy,I couldn,t think of anything at first ,then I remembered I had some of this paper left over,so I cut a similar boat shape for the iris folding.

Happy Christmas to all my friends who have visited I hope you enjoyed browsing and thank you if you left a comment .

U for Unused stash

I had half a sheet left of this golfer decoupage and nearly a full pad of the papers so I think this will qualify for the unused theme on the Alphabet Challenge , I don,t do decoupage very often but I bought this one for a golfing friend  originally, I hope he doesn,t remember it as he will probably get this card next year.
