Hand Crafted Memories

ere is a Wedding Anniversary card that was commisoned this week my best friend at work, he asked if I had time to make a card for his lovely wife. This couple are so lovely it was really an honour to make it for him. Thankfully he is very pleased with it and I hope his wife likes it when it is handed over. Bless him, he has just brought a lovely bottle of Pinot Grigio Blush to my desk. I shall toast their anniversary while I sip it in my garden this weekend. All of it! The card is a lovely 8X8 white card from Craftwork Cards .    The challenge this week over on Daring Cardmakers is a card to celebrate an Anniversary, I am happy to enter this card. Also over on the Allsorts Challenge blog they wanted to see a card with a tag or label on it.

A few posts ago I mentioned a bargain, simple stamp I had bought. This one was purchased at the same time, I also made the card but had forgotten to post it. I thought it would be great for weddings, anniversaries or valentines cards, doesn't that make it a triple bargain? 79p isn't that a quadruple bargain? It stamps beautifully and because the & is open it can be coordinated with the papers and card. Enjoy.

Two cards today, because they are both for challenges and on a theme. Craftwork Cards have a great challenge on, you have until the 22nd January to enter with a card featuring their card candy. Here is my entry, as I'm part of the Design Team I'm not eligible for the prize, but I am eligible for the fun! The prize is a Card Candy Store, I know this is fabulous because I've got one. These little doodies are so useful, I use them most often a the centre for flowers. go have a look at their blog to see some of the great entries so far. This next card also features card candy, but was made for the Allsorts Saturday challenge , this hasn't photographed that well. The embossed circles look much nicer IRL. It was sitting on my counter for a couple of days because something was missing, but then while I was making the above card it came to me. Silver card candy to look like rivets. Done (in true Gordon Ramsey style)!
