A Variation on a Theme...

Wow.... what a hectic weekend we had...we were out all weekend on various sporting events with the boys and I now have a nice tan to prove it.  Although I was very good at applying protection regularly I got very burnt - no shade and a windy day make for a dodgy combination.... Anyway, the boys had a great time and both did really well.

This weekend won't be much quieter either, do you have any plans for the jubilee celebrations?

So, my variation on a theme.  I was asked to make a card for a friends 60th birthday (I can show you now as her birthday has been and gone!) and with the bits left over, I made an anniversary card for my friends celebrating 10 happy years together.

The Birthday card....

Have used my favourite Twitterpated DSP again and check out the ribbon....fabulous pleated ribbon - it's beautiful!  Notice the rosettes again, sorry, but I am loving rosettes!!

The Anniversary card now then...

I did make too many rosettes for the 60th card so I couldn't let it go to waster now could I????
I have used the Everything Eleanor stamp set on both cards, another beautiful set.

I have card club tomorrow night and I am working so I'm off to check I am organised.

Yet another fab set from the new mini.....you HAVE to see it!!!

This was my first purchase during the pre-order period (yep, thats right, another perk as a demonstrator - get in touch if you are interested in joining Stampin' Up!) as I thought it was a bit different and I am having lots of fun playing with this set...

I have used the gorgeous Adorning Accents Edgelit dies and matching embossing folders with this and the equally gorgeous Twitterpated DSP.

So, just a quick post today as I am trying (and failing at the moment) to make my husbands birthday card.  Its his special day on Sunday so I best get my finger out!!!!
