Sweet Sixteen

Our eldest grand-daughter turns 16 today and I thought I'd share the card I made for her.  It is a CASE from the Memory Box ideas book from mid-2015, and I love how it turned out!



Card Recipe:  watercolored card splashed with water, scalloped rectangle, Kaisercraft small numbers, Memory Box beaded dress, SU Stippled Blossoms, and SU 'sweet' from 'Baby We've Grown'.  The tiny bow is one of the many dies included in the Mama Elephant set:  Basic Set.  It is one of the sweetest bows I have seen.

We hope Jasmine is enjoying her day in the city with family, and has a very successful year at school in Year 11.

We are off now to the city, before picking up our youngest two grand-daughters who fly down BY THEMSELVES from Brisbane tomorrow.  Can't wait to see them and share the next week with them!  It will be FUN!

Something Shiny

We all love shiny things I think, so this week's challenge at Less is More is a JOY!  Here is my card, which will add to my Christmas stash. Hard to see the shine, but the next view might be better. I die cut the Joy to the World Wreath by Cheery Lyn, and inlaid it back into the white card front.  It seems to suit the CAS style better this way.  The shiny sentiment is cut from silver mirror card, mounted to self adhesive foam - as you can see in the shiny photo - no messy glue to spoil the effect! While visiting the LIM blog, I realised that my card would also qualify for the current  Muse challenge.   This is the first time I have entered, so here are their rules: Use  the inspiration card as a starting point - strictly speaking, I found my card fits the criteria after I had made it, but the links are - metallic sentiment, scattered berries, and a stitched border to frame the panel. Make  a Christmas or winter-themed card,
