Last day of the summer hols... :(

Well, its the most depressing day of the year for me, I'm afraid...the last day of the long summer hols. By this time, I get so used to doing my own thing, in my own time... shopping when i want, having a shower in the middle of the day, being able to whip my washing in at dinnertime if it starts to rain (heheheh) and making a bag or card or two when I fancy. . But now it's all change again...back to routine, not enough time for doing the things I want to be doing...ie: crafting.

Oh well...

I thought I would make it count, by making some cards. I got some new papers from funky fairy and printed off a couple I liked. After having a play, I have come up with these....feel like they are inspired by my good friend, Meandlilg. I really liked the string she used on her latest card, so had a play with that, too. This first one, uses a new stamp which I bought at Haigh show (where I sold quite a few bags!). I just really liked the sentiment of the stamp. (it says..."Live your life, and forget your age") I added some jewel brads, a paper flower and some liquid pearls.



I made this second card specifically for my Aunty Janet. It is her birthday next week and she is turning the big 5 - 0. (she will be so embarrassed if she reads this!) Jan loves angels, so I came up with this for her this morning. I just really love the colour of these blue papers....perfect for with this angel! Hope she likes it...



And finally, I thought I should use some clip art I bought a little while back. (The angel from the card above is clipart I bought from the same site, too). My friend, Pam gave me this paper...I love the swirly pattern! I have used glossy accents on the bird and the bees, and a paper flower, with a jewel brad in the middle, and have faux drawn handstitching around the edge. No sentiment on here yet, as I'm not sure who I need to send this one too, yet. xx
