Hi

Here is the second of my wedding anniversary cards.  This one is for our good friends who celebrate their special day tomorrow.

I finally got round to using Shimmer Paint.  I followed instructions from Michelle Dyson (5 October entry) to get the sparkly effect on the card base.  Her instructions are easy to follow & I loved the finished result.  Thanks Michelle.

 For the inside of the card I used the owl from Fox & Friends.

Hi there

Well the weather has been horrible in Auckland today but that means a great day for crafting.

As mentioned before I have 5 friends with wedding anniversaries in the next few weeks so I thought I’d better make a start on creating cards for them all.

Here is my first one – it’s a 4″ card.  I’m still trying to use up my retired paper supplies so made the whole owl out of paper.  Instead of using all the pieces for the eyes I have gone with some moving eyes just to add a bit of fun.

Supplies:
Stampset:  A Word for You
Cardstock:  Rose Red & Handsome Hunter
DSP: Windsor Knot & Tea Party (both retired)
Other:  Two-Step Bird punch, Two-Step Owl punch, Heart to Heart punch, Elegant Bouquet Embossing Folder, Wobbly eyes

Hi

Today is my 9th wedding anniversary :).  Phil and I never work on our wedding anniversary or birthday and funnily enough we share both occasions (yes we have the same birthday).  Today I made breakfast which is unusual as he does most of the cooking.  I made French Toast with berries & passionfruit curd – very yum.  I then spent most of the morning downloading the UStamp with Dawn & Friends 2010 Blowout projects as my membership came through last night!  We had a lovely lunch out at Eiffel En Eden.  A very relaxing & enjoyable day.

Here is the card that I made for Phil.

I will be posting a few wedding anniversary cards over the next few weeks (5 before the end of February) so I’ll have to get my thinking cap on for some variations.
