For a tea-riffic Mum

Hello lovely people,

After working at the weekend, I had yesterday off and spent most of it ignoring the cleaning and pottering about in my craft room instead :-)

It's back to work today but of course I then have my usual Wednesday off and I'm excited that I will be spending it with my awesome buddies Sue and Debs!

I thought today I would share the card I sent to my Mum for Mothers' Day.

I have to admit to using the tea theme on more than one occasion for her but she really does love tea so I'm hoping she will also love this card!

The dies and stamps are by Stampin' Up but no longer available.

I hope you all have a good week :-)

Thanks for visiting and I really appreciate any comments that you leave,

An unusual cuppa!

Hello lovely people,

I seem to be in one of those phases where I am making quite a few cards but my blog is being sorely neglected; must try harder!

Today I have a card to share with you for our new challenge at As You Like It and our theme this time is...

YOUR FAVOURITE...COLOUR COMBO
...and don't forget to tell us why it's your favourite!

Our sponsor this time is Wild Orchid Crafts with a £12 voucher

My fave colour combo is pink (of course!) and anything along the green/turquoise/aqua spectrum because they really make each other pop and can look great in vintage or modern style.

I have gone for a more modern style with nice bright colours on this card and used some die cut flowers for a change to my usual paper ones.

This card was for my Mum's birthday and she does love her tea so this image seemed perfect.

Now, I am not a tea drinker, but I'm pretty sure this is not the correct way to make tea...but it might just be the cutest teacup ever!

I hope you will pop over to As You Like It and check out the wonderfully creative projects from the rest of the team :-)

I will do my best to share a few more cards with you over the next week!

Thanks for visiting and I really appreciate any comments that you leave,
