A5 Oriental "Thank You" ...

... made again using the Cup Cake Crafting Oriental CD ... but this time, it is a decoupaged image of a white peony ... I just loved this image, and the backing paper printed on vellum, was just so lovely. I also used a piece of the backing paper on the inside of the card, just for a contrast. Brads hold the vellum on the front of the card. A sentiment is put on 3D pads to raise it up a bit.

Oriental "Thinking of You" card ...

... for a friend, and I hope it cheers her up a bit. Again printed on A6 linen card from the Cup Cake Oriental CD. Finished off with a peel-off.

Scrap Magic Thank You ...


... commissioned card. A5 green card with an image from Joanna Sheen's Fabulous Flowers CD used with the octagonal Scrap Magic template, which has been matted onto pale green card and a white background. Finished off with some peel-offs!

Sunflower ....


... "Thinking of You" card ... printed on A5 acetate with a white linen card behind with the sentiment stuck on it in the aperature. The image is from CupCake Crafting Oriental CD Rom. Finished off with a silk ribbon.

Oriental Thank You ....

"You Make My Day Awards" ...


... don't know how I managed this, but have been nominated three times!! I don't believe I deserve it, but I am all the same very grateful to the following people : Rainbow Lady (Cynthia), Lavender Rose (Sue - I think!) and Ann Whitfield. These people so inspire me too, but I guess I will have to find others to nominate.
The plan is to
1) Write a post with links to 5 blogs you find of interest and that inspire you.
2) Acknowledge the post of the award giver.
3) Display the logo 'You make my day'
4) tell the award winners that they have won by commenting on their blogs with the news.
Well done to you all and have a great day!
