It's started....


What has? The holidays! A whole month of school holidays! I have loads planned so it should be a good one for all of us! The soccer fifa world cup starts here tomorrow too, I can hear people blowing their vuvazela's already! It's going to be a noisy and busy month here in South Africa!

Anyway first day of the holidays, you would think I would sleep in late right? Wrong! I woke up to the lovely sound of my cat puking outside my bedroom door!! So gross.... And then I was awake after that and couldn't get back to sleep! sigh.

These are the cards I made the other day.
Em, do you recognize the paper? You sent me this little 6x6 sheet a while ago and I didn't want to use it because I loved it so much, I finally used it! Printed out these vintage images of roses onto 200gsm card and the little ticket I chalked and stamped with the word Love. It has a message inside too.
this is an anniversary card, also the bg paper is one you sent me, Em. Just used a corner punch on both strips of paper and then a stamp.
And one more anniversary card, as all my friends keep requesting them! Made the little paper posies from scraps in my scrap box! (I never chuck them away as long as they are over4x4cm!)
That's it!
Will be back to post the card I made for caardvarks challenge!

Hi bonnie, Really liked what you've done with your cards, they are really lovely - and from scraps too!! Must admit I'm starting to keep mine and I saw a great idea about making a card using the inside of envelopes (when it's blue) so I'm definitely going to give that a go!
