Satin ribbon flower tree and wreath

A while ago I made some Christmas samples for Meiflower to take around the craft shows and one of the things she asked me to use were the satin ribbon flowers. I ended up putting two cards together to show off the flowers, arranging some to make a Christmas tree and others to decorate a wreath.

Joy!

Thank goodness it's Friday! we are finally heading into the weekend, and I am soooo glad to see the end of a very busy week. Meg goes into respite today for a week, and as usual I am so looking forward to a few nights of undisturbed sleep, she goes approximately every 8 weeks, and by then I am well and truly ready for the break.

 It's also my grandson Will's birthday on Sunday, he will be 8 and amongst the many things on his present list was tea from the chippy, Tangfastics and about 27 Shark DVD's, he is shark mad at the moment and the gorier the film the better. I will be back on Sunday to show you the Shark themed cards I made for him, along with a pic of his Shark birthday cake.

On Monday Eric and I celebrate our 24th wedding anniversary, he has booked some time off work and we are going to have a couple of days out, most probably visiting reclamation yards as I am looking for some bits and pieces for the garden.

Tomorrow I am off to the craft show at Events City Manchester, looking forward to catching up with Mei (Meiflower) and Mel (Crafty Devils) as they will both be at the show and more importantly buying some new crafty goodies.

I have a couple of Christmas cards to show you today, both Meiflower samples, if you are going to the Manchester show, you will get to see them 'in real life'

Wedding Invitation #11

Here is another one of the wedding invitation samples, this one is extra blingy (only following instructions), it has four diamante pieces on it, although the hearts at either side could always be die cut, sprayed with spray mount and dipped in glitter, so you would still have the design and the sparkle.

Wedding Invitation #9

The paper on today's invitation was made by rubbing a pink ink pad over the inside front of an embossing folder, before placing a sheet of pearl paper in and running it through the machine. The colour transfers to the flat parts of the paper but the embossing stays white. I love the effect!

Probably the simplest one of them all. just some lace, a bow and a diamante heart.The lace is really pretty and has a sparkly thread running through it, which unfortunately isn't showing up in the photo's.
