Happy Birthday Jenni

Evening,

What a difference some years can make to the weather. This day 43 years ago we had thick snow on the ground. It was the day my eldest daughter was born. My Dad had driven us to the hospital during a blizzard the day before (Valentines Day).

Jenni arrived early in the morning of the 15th and due to the thickness of the snow her Dad couldn't get home from the hospital so the nurses pushed a couple of chairs together in a side room for him to get a couple of hours sleep before braving the elements. I can't imagine that happening in this day and age, mores the pity.

I have already shared her birthday card, so here are a couple of birthday cards made using a fabulous floral stencil from Imagination. 

I created a panel for the base of the card using stencil medium and ink. I also created a second panel and fussy cut some of the flowers to add to the main body of the card around the sentiment.

The second card uses the same stencil, some inks and tiny glass beads.

I also added some die cut sentiments.

Let's hope that we stick with the weather that we have at the moment and don't try to copy it from all those years ago. I can certainly live with out the white stuff thank you very much lol.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs Kimx

Glad You are Feeling Better

Evening Everyone,
Just a very quick post tonight.
I have spent the afternoon with Sylvie trying to help her out with her blog.
I'm not sure how successful I have been but I do know that we have both definitely decided that as nice as Tablets are for convenience nothing beats a good old fashioned computer with a keyboard and not some silly pointer that seems to have a mind of its own!!!
I shall have to pop round again, but this time I will go armed with my trusty laptop.

This card was made for my friend Gill's husband who is recovering from surgery on his shoulder.

The paper was made using the Creative Palette, inks and paint, which I used as a background for the stamped and embossed image.

I added some extra ink around the edges and then dry embossed the whole thing using an embossing folder.
More ink to highlight the dry embossing, a sentiment, and voila!!
I know he liked it cause I got a lovely text message today.
I think that is enough for me and blogger tonight before we have a falling out. Besides I need to save myself to help out Sylvie lol.
hugs Kimx
