A month!!

A whole month has gone past since my last post, what a terrible blogger I am. To make up for it, here's a commission that I made for a child who is being adopted. It's so hard to get 'Congratulations on being adopted' cards for the children who are moving on, and this is the second I've made.

I've used Basic Grey textured cardstock as the base, the Elegant Soiree papers, Baja Breeze cardstock, ink and seam binding ribbon, and the Elegant Wings embosslet. Stamp sets were Foz and Friends and Basic Phrases. The butterflies were cut and embossed in Very Vanilla, and then I brayered over them with Baja Breeze ink. I love the effect it gives them.

Anniversary

Today is our wedding anniversary and we have been married for 9 years now. It still feels like only yesterday. I can count myself extremely fortunate to have married a man who I continue to love, even after 20 years of knowing him, and to celebrate, I made him this card. 

It's in Whisper White, Basic Black and Real Red, with the Basic Phrases and I {heart} Heart stamps sets.

I also took the girls shopping after school yesterday for a rose bush to give him for our garden. I wanted a white one as we don't have any white roses, but I fell in love with this one instead. Isn't it beautiful?

At home, we couldn't think of anywhere to hide it from him overnight, so in the end, we put it in the front garden behind another plant, and guess what? Hiding it in plain view actually worked!! He didn't spot it there at all :-D
