Monkeying Around

Good morning all!

I can't get in to my craft room at the mo so I've been doing a 

bit of much needed mooching around to sort out a few things on my laptop!

I've come across quite a few cards I haven't shared with you.

This is one of them!

I am friendly with the family who run our local Chinese takeaway

& I make them a card every Chinese New Year!

This year, is the year of the monkey!

These cute little monkeys were cut using a Tattered Lace die.

The card base is DL size Linen embossed CS.

I printed the sentiment panels & matted & layered.

The card still has pride of place in the shop, which makes me giggle 

every time I go in! 

Thanks for popping in today!

How Many Candles?

Good morning all!

I'm back again with another, not so little card to share with you!

This time, it's a 21st Birthday card I made for my nephew!

Happy Birthday Richard!

The card base is 8"x8"

I used a Tattered Lace die to cut out the candles.

I can tell you it was a true labour of love cutting out all those little pieces

then sticking them all down!

Still, I think the final result was worth it!

The little Celebrate was cut using another TL die.

The paper was from my stash & the Happy Birthday was computer generated.

I also decorated the inside of the card & added a La Pashe, Short 'n' Sweet verse!

Thanks for popping in!

I hope you like this little card.
