IT'S A BOY

IT'S A BOY 

Here is a card recently made for an order, for a baby boy that is going to be born very soon, to a wonderful couples being their first baby.  My customer didn't want a coloured image they wanted something a little bit different.  

I've used flowers and die cuts, and this cute little baby feet charms that I got for Christmas.

A quick peak of the inside of the card.

HAPPY 60th BIRTHDAY

Happy 60th Birthday

I was asked to make a card, for a 60th birthday celebration.  Her name was Joy and I was meant to know her.  I really had to think about this name and whom was ordering the card and I couldn't think for the life of me who Joy was.  Well I got to meet Joy at long last,  Joy was the makeup artist that did my make for me 25 years and one month ago today.  It's a very small world isn't it?
