Spot the Deliberate Mistake

Afternoon All,
Have you ever made a card for someone and then been mortifies to find, after you have handed it over, that you have spelt their name wrong!!
I had that happen to me just before Christmas when I made my usual card for 'Boss' to give to his daughter.

It was only as I downloaded the photographs that I noticed that I had spelt Ledshajini's name wrong.

I rushed into work the following morning full of apologies for my stupidity, only to discover that neither 'Boss', nor his daughter had spotted my mistake. Boy did that make me feel a whole heap better. 

 

I used a lovely floral heart stamp as the main focus on the card.

I coloured it to match the background paper and added die cut leaves and branches along with a Birthday greeting..
I will definitely make sure that I spell check my cards in future, I don't want to make that mistake again.
I hope you have a great evening. My craft room is calling me and that is something I just cannot resist lol.
Happy Crafting and hugs

Happy Birthday Jenni

Evening Everyone,
Today is my eldest baby's birthday. Well they are always your babies no matter how old they are, just ask my Mum lol.
I can still remember being driven to Greenwich Hospital in the back of a car in the middle of a snow storm 37 years ago.
It was so bad that after she was born her Dad couldn't get home so the nurses pushed a couple of chairs together in a side room so that he could get some sleep. I can't imagine that happening today can you, it would be against some 'elf and safety' rule?

I made this card for her using papers from my stash and my favourite patchwork background.

I love this technique and it is a great way to use up loads of different paper scraps, or as in this case some co-ordinating sheets from a paper pad.

I have used a double sided sticky sheet to stick them to and then die cut them using one of my large Go Create dies.

The sentiment is by Lili of the Valley,

and then I have used a variety of Magnolia

and Sue Wilson dies to create the flowers and foliage.

I have also added some pale gold swirls heat embossed on to acetate and then cut out.
I haven't had the chance to give the card to Jenni yet as she has been whisked off to a surprise dinner by the rest of the family so I will have to do that on her return.
Have a good evening, and lets hope that we don't get a repeat of the weather from all those years ago.
Hugs Kimx

Congratulations, Love makes the World go Round

Evening Everyone,
Another late night chained to my desk. Still at least I am two stamps nearer the end of the DT cards that I am currently working on.

I did have one brief break to make this card for a very special couple.
My little Sister and her partner have finally got engaged, it's only taken 20 years, but who's counting lol.

The central image is from Lili of the Valley.
Where would I be in an emergency without their fabulous pre-coloured designs?

The sentiments and background stamp on the kraft card are also from them, and I matched the image to a Magnolia background paper that I had in my stash.

I added a flower and some ribbon and then had to make a very deep box to send it in lol.
The girls from SirStampalot will notice that I finally managed to get hold of the Go Create dies that I was looking for at the NEC. I love this shape, it makes such a fabulous base for a card don't you think.
Congratulations Gail and Alistair, I am so very happy for you.
Here's to many more happy years together.
Love and hugs
Kimx
