Happy birthday

Playing catch up

Another birthday card, this one was for someone special

Lots of distressing and tearing, shabby chic and ultra feminine, my favourite kind of card to make

There will be no order, or rhyme or reason to the order in which I share my makes from the last 3 months, I just aim to upload and blog my way through my camera roll. 

Love and kisses

No apologies

Sorry, not sorry !

I have been a terrible blogger, mojo for blogging had wandered off

 I am not sure it is entirely back, so please excuse me if this is not artful nor chatty, but it is a start

Thank you for the kick up the a*** Jan

So, no apologies ( I have been living life to the full here in sunny Cornwall, enjoying the amazingly warm summer and all that it entails)

A quick and easy birthday card, not for anyone in particular this time just one to keep in my stash in case I need one pronto

I hope I still have the occasional reader over here at Sandy Toes and if not - well, hey ho, I am used to talking to myself anyway

Love and kisses

This is the card I made for the birthday girl

Ohhhh to be 21 again !!!

I used Tilda papers

Some payper box glitter stickers for the name and the numbers

Hanging heart die and 'happy birthday' die are from China

Butterflies were made using a Stampin' Up punch

Flowers are Prima and Wild Orchid crafts, with the daisies created using a Woodware punch

Thankyou for inviting us Ally, 

Chloe looked beautiful, 

we hope you all had a great day ( and evening)

Love and special birthdays

Get well soon Mary

Another card to share from last week

Yes I am still making get well cards

This time this card was crafted for my dear neighbour Mary, who has been under the weather for quite a while now

I found some cute little journalling cards in my scrapbooking stash and thought they would make pretty details on cards too

Flowers are Prima and Wild Orchid Crafts

Leafy dies are all from China

Sentiment is Stampin' Up

Get well soon Mary, hope the docs get to the bottom of all your mysterious symptoms soon

Love and healing wishes

Broke out some old Marianne dies for the tags

The sentiment is a new die from China

Flowers are Prima and Wild Orchid Crafts

Hope you had a wonderful weekend Margaret

Love and birthday hugs

Wedding gift

As mentioned in a previous post, I have recently been commissioned to create a scrapbook album for a wedding gift

My cousin wanted a smething special for his best friend and his wife

Phil sent me some photos, suggested the front half of the book be a documentary of Liam's childhood, the back half being a documentary of Amii's childhood and where they meet in the middle, two blank pages for a couple of wedding photos

The rest was up to me

I loved Phil's idea and the album came together quite easily

Liam's half

The two centre pages, ready for photos of the wedding

And Amii's half

I absolutely loved working on this album, it was refreshing to have a change from cards, I really must start scrapbooking for myself again

I have heard from Phil and the happy couple were delighted with their gift

Love and happy scrapping

Sympathy card

I made this card For Robbie to give to one of his customers

The lady in question has always been lovely to Rob, he takes the time to chat with her and is genuinely interested in what she has to say, and that is reciprocated, so she made him very welcome when he started work

Sadly she recently lost her mum and Rob wanted to let her know he was thinking of her

It was his idea, not mine, so very proud of him 

I hope the card gave her comfort to know someone was thinking of her

Love and kind thoughts
