Smile!

This is my midway post for

WE LOVE STAMPING

where the theme is sports/hobbies/anything goes.

We have a fabulous prize so be sure and join us.

For my card I used bright yellow card

and some dsp from my stash.

The little girl is a stamp from 

Strawberry's Best Friends collection.

She has been coloured up with markers.

I added the SMILE and sentiment

using two stamp sets (SU) called

Love this moment and Broadway Birthday.

I embellished with two snippets of card

and one card candi in spotty red.

I have bucket loads of these things

to use up!!

adding lots of balloons, candles, stars 

and number 50 of course.

natural fibre in pink at the very back.

There is room for a verse on the back.

Our weekend celebrations went well.

Sunday was very wet so umbrellas up to get us

in and out of the chapel and our Grandson

just loved the acoustics and let everyone know he was there 😂

So we have our son's 40th this week and my

daughter's birthday next week.

I am totally exhausted and ready to run away from home lol. 

 

Broadway Birthday Cake!

 

                                                                     

My final card using sketch 16 from

Kendra's Card Challenge 3!

I think this was my least favourite sketch to use but

I got there in the end.

You can watch my quick video here

I have used Basic Borders for the icing on the cake and

embossed each paper piece using my swirls embossing folder.

The candles have been stamped using the retired

Broadway birthday set and the background is

bumblebee card. Not sure that was the right colour choice

but hey ho it's done now!

Another April Birthday!

It was Grandson Oliver's 12th Birthday early April

along with lots of bright colours.

I followed this layout from

Scrapbook Thursday

This is Grandson Tom's April page.

April was his birthday month so I went with a nice page

so he could look back and remember lock down!

You can see his mum in the background holding up the ipad

which is how we all participated.

As he was in touch with both sets of Grandparents the cake looked

mighty sparse when it came to our turn to see him blow out the candles!

But he took it all in his stride.

I amazed myself as to how much I could get onto

a 6" x 6" page but had great fun with this layout from Sketches in Thyme.

I also got inspiration from

More than Words.
