Gone fishing hat

I don't know much about fishing but I know they fish in all kinds of weather.

This hat comes complete with lures.

This hat is not only a hat though as it's an easel card with a message.

 The design is from silhouette design studio .

Veg out and relax

 Making cards for my dad is hard nas he doesn't have many interests other than TV and horse racing and there are only so many variations you can do on a theme,so it was time to think outside of the box and this is what I came up with. I am not 100%that he liked it but it did make him laugh so I took it as a win. The stamps I have had for ages and I think they came from memory box.

 This one was for my mum, a layered card with pretty lace flowers ,all product by Chloe's creative cards.

2 cards in 1

 This was a commissioned card for a husbands birthday but it had a very specific remit. The gent in question owns a morris minor and that was to be the main focus for the card but also have one of his 3 dogs incorporated on the card and his name along with happy birthday. The lady in question was very happy and so was the gent I am pleased to say.

Special delivery

When it's a special birthday I think you need a special card. This card was for a lady who loves to travel so what better than a suitcase with labels on from just a few of her favourites destination.

The suitcase had to open  otherwise how else could I send my birthday message.

The message was to celebrate her 70th birthday and rather than the suitcase being filled with clothes flowers seemed far more appropriate.

 The luggage label was where we sent her love so she knew who had packed her special bag.

The suitcase base design is from silhouette design studio and the flower from Chloe's creative crafts.
