A Place in the Sun .......


Hi everyone, well I wish I could say I was off to a place in the sun but unfortunatley that is not the case. I do however have the next best thing which is a wonderful new stamp from Little Claire's called 'A Place in the Sun'. This stamp also comes with window above but I have just used the bottom of the stamp for my card with a lovely sentiment that it comes with. I think this would make a lovely new home card.

I am entering this card into this week's challenge at Friday Sketchers who have another fabby sketch to follow.

Two Leaving Cards




Hi everyone, please see previous post for my blog candy winner. I just thought I would share some cards which I made for two ladies who are leaving my team at work as they are being made redundant. I work for a County Council so we are undergoing lots of cuts at the moment. I am also being issued with a redundancy notice in January but I'm hoping that funding will come through and it will be cancelled but I just don't know if that will be the case at the moment. At least I am finished work for Christmas so I'm not going to think about it for a few weeks.

The adorable image on my card is from the Digi stamp Boutique and I think is just perfect for this theme of card.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
