gone fishing

A change of card shape today, used an A6 blank for this fishing themed card.
Its actually supposed to be a pyramid topper, but I only used the main image.

Mothering sunday

My mum suddenly passed away in 1990, when I was just 18, I'm now 41 & 3/4's (to be precise!), that sort of math just sucks.
I'm not going to get all maudlin' - this is a just a nice little scrapbook page of a newly found photo of me as a babe in the arms of my mum, (dad was and still is camera-shy). I was born in April so this must have been the late(ish) summer wedding of my dad's youngest brother.

100% digital, using Daisy Trails "Butterfly Garden" kit, its such a dreamy and serene kit.

My sisters birthday is on the 2nd, I always leave it too late as it needs to be posted! It just one of those dates that sneaks up on you *lol*

the ribbon is a gorgeous baby pink, but it doesn't show up very well in the photo.

seeing stars

I haven't used Craft Artist to (properly) design anything for months, possibly a year. So when I spotted a digital challenge blog, I decided to blow the cobwebs off the old thing.
I designed this to be used as a tag on a birthday card, fairly basic design, but will be embellished when I make the card up.
