Well I managed to use this great stamp again for a congratulations for a new driver card. My friend's daughter passed yesterday first time and I was able to spring into action with this!

4 x Heart Card

This card is one I was asked to make for a gentleman recovering from quadruple heart bypass surgery.  At first I wasn't too sure about it but apparently it went down well. As it was going to be signed by a lot of people I had to make sure to leave enough writing space inside.

Lacey Squares Double Easel

Following on from my Oriental card yesterday I decided to have a play around using the wonderful LOTV cute squares (again) and as you can see I've gone for my favourite colour. There's a tiny touch of glitter added to the images. I need a card for a friend's special birthday and I'm hoping this one will fit the bill. I'm not sure I've got an envelope to fit but that's not too much of a problem because I can always make one using my MS scoreboard.

The cute squares fit perfectly onto the largest size Lacey Square.

Hello and hope your weekend is going well. At last I've managed to make a card and here it is, quick and simple, using chipboard shapes and sentiments and not much else really. Wish all my cards could be so speedy.

Change of Colours

So the card I made today is a definite departure from lilac or pink - I've gone for yellow and brown to tie in with another one of the LOTV cute squares. Don't think I'm ever going to get fed up of these and already planning my next purchase!
