sharing

Sometimes sharing is wonderful…  just not when my delightful family shares their flu with me…  grrr!    Although this is nowhere near as bad as when my son kindly shared his chickenpox with me!

So, instead, I shall share a couple of things I’ve made over the past couple of weeks. 

First up is the baby shower card I made for my beautiful cousin, Donna.  Her little one is due in October.  As you can see, I am still smitten with Stampin’ Up!’s Raspberry Tart patterned paper.  It’s divine.

Ink: Black StazOn, So Saffron, Summer Sun, Blush Blossom, Pretty in Pink, Rose Red, Baja Breeze
Card: Chocolate Chip, Certainly Celery, Rose Red, Close to Cocoa DP, Raspberry Tart DP

Moving on to a father’s day card

I simply adore these bees!  And they seemed to be appropriate for this card since I forgot to make it early enough to get to where it was going in the post before Father’s Day…  So it was bee-lated!

Yesterday my neighbours daughter made me a sweet letter with a lovely drawing in it.  It made my day.  So I made her a little bitty notebook as a thankyou.
