A rather hefty post tonight - a bit of everything!!

Seems an absolute while since I posted - I really cant seem to find the time anymore like I used to. Don't know why!!! Oh well - these are the projects that I have been working on and finally finished.

I was asked to make an anniversary card for a friend at works wife - no details of colour, sentiment, shape or size!!! So I came up with this wallet style card

This is the front of the card with a little sleeve made to keep it closed



And this is the wallet opened



I had some little plastic envelope templates that I bought from Paper Paradise yonks ago and added an envelope and little card so he could write his own little message - they're on holiday this week so fingers crossed she likes it. Sure I'll find out soon enough if she doesn't!!!

I've also been working on a couple of scrapbook pages - this one was one of Steve when we went fishing in April - the cutting out of the wording took an absolute age - halfway through it I was beginning to think is it worth it! But I persevered and it came out alright.

GONE FISHING



This scrapbook page is of our lovely friends Sue and Paul - most Saturday nights you can find us in The Cricketers having a bite to eat, plenty of drink (well Steve and Paul anyway) and a good ole natter! I love this photo and was well chuffed to scan it and scrapbook it.


NEW FRIENDS



And not last but least, a little card and matching gift bag for my friend Kirsten at work whos birthday is it tomorrow.



Oh and I must just say Hi to my 2 friends at work who watch my blog - Ken and Chris. Walked into the security centre today and got a cuddle from both of them - 2 of the loveliest guys you could meet - very comical and very lovely - Hi Guys!!! :O)



Well thats it for tonight - just need to finish off my birdhouse, coat hanger, mirror and yet another wallet type card and I'm uptodate!!! See you soon xx
