Mothers Day Card

This card was made for my MIL, as before with my Niece's birthday card, I was not at all well so didn't stitch my card, I'm not really comfortable making cards with no stitching on, I don't have enough confidence, but I hope you like my efforts anyway.

Craft Group Contest Entry

This is the card I made for my craft groups monthly contest, we were asked to stitch the butterflies from the Hobbydol Book No 41, page 4, we were also asked to use the Spellbinders Grand Decorative Oval One Die for this contest, I was lucky that I had already stitched this card before illness got me, I would like to Thank Carol for picking it up and taking it to the group for me.

Birthday Card

I made this card for my Niece Sadie for her birthday, I am a stitcher, so it's very rare for me to make a card with no stitching, but due to illness, I just didn't have the energy to sit and stitch, I enjoyed creating this card.

Ann's Paper Art Forum Celebration Pattern.

I made this card with the Free pattern that Ann gave to her Forum members for the Forum's 5th Birthday, I really like this pattern, I decided to use part of the pattern to stitch into the corners, Thank You Ann for another beautiful pattern, I hope you like my card.

Friendship Card

I really enjoyed making this Friendship card fro Sharon in Australia, I have stitched Ann's Paper Art pattern No a 441 and I have used Reddy Die Cut Sheet Art No 83915.
Die Cut Sheet  Art No 83915.
