Congrats on your new job (The Paper Shelter image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I haven't torn paper in ages and I think brown papers go really well with this technique and I'd had the girl coloured up for ages, she complements the writing paper as she's an office girl. You can find her at The Paper Shelter. This is my last card for today, thanks for coming to check it out.

On your wedding day card

Hi Crafty Friends,

I created this card for my sister and her new hubby originally but I really wanted to add their names to personalise it and I realised at the end that there was just nowhere it looked right on this card so I had to make a new one and I'll keep this one for another time as I really liked how it turned out. I've not made many wedding cards so I find it very difficult. Under the little white rose in the top right hand said "our" which is why I covered it and added some alphas to say "on your" instead.

Card Mania - layer it

Here's another card I've made over the holidays, this time for my niece Grace who's Birthday isn't actually until the end of April! Talk about getting ahead with my cards hehe.
