The First SBS 18 Challenge

Their first challenge over at SBS 18 is to make a card for your Mum to tell her how much you love her and to send it to her so she recieves it by the 27th May (the anniversary of my mother's death). If you are not able to do so, please make and send a card to your nearest most loved other female relation, failing that your best friend, if that does not work the dog or cat! They must be female though!
Full instructions at SBS 18.



I took an aperture card and glued a little vial onto the inside added a few peel-offs and loving verse on the back then headed to the florist for a beautiful orchid as that's mum's favourite flower. She'll get it to day when I visit.

over at SSC for the "Something Different" challenge. What a super surprise I got when I popped over to find out what the latest challenge was to be, and saw I had won with my heart card. Can't wait to go shopping!

Blog Candy..

over at Heidi's blog. You could bag yourself some great images and a Hanglar & Stanglar stamp. All you have to do is visit her blog, leave a comment and link her blog to yours. Have a nosey while there, she has created some great cards.

Newbie........

This is a card made by Natz (Samantha's pal) who was visiting the other evening. She had mentioned to Sam she'd like to try card making so I let her loose in my studio and this is the card she created for her gardening lover brother's birthday.
This is the first time Natz has made a card, she stamped and embossed the greeting and bear then coloured it, she chose the coloured card and papers and wanted an embly for the left corner, I showed her the real flowers and this was her choice and voila a fabby card! I just wish both girls lived close or came to visit me not their boyfriends!
