Special birthday

My daughter has one of those "special" birthdays coming up next month. She doesn't want a lot of attention drawn to her age so I have just popped a discreet "40" in the centre! It would be quite easy to adapt this template to any age or even add text instead of an age. Again the template is on the UKS site.

On your Wedding Day

My daughter asked me to design a card for a work colleague who was getting married at Easter. It took me quite a while to get this one just right and I'm afraid the photo doesn't do it justice because the colours are quite pale. I was pleased with the way it looked in the end and so was my daughter.

This is one I designed to say thank you to all the staff at the hospital where my husband had his heart bypass surgery in February. They do a wonderful job and we were so grateful to them. Again the template is on the UKS site

Broderie Birthday

I made this one for a dear friend whose birthday was in February. Decorated with ribbon and beads - I was quite pleased with the way it looked. The template is on the UKS site.

This has to be one of my favourites - it took me quite a long time to get it lined up properly and I had a lot of fun composing the floral text. I was pleased with the end result, I may give this to my middle granddaughter who has a birthday in March, or my sister who also has a birthday at the end of March. I'm working on another of these gatefold designs which I shall post when it's finally finished.

Tiime for another

I designed this one for my nephew's birthday on the 21st of this month to remind him how time is flying! I find men a bit difficult to design for, especially if they don't have any particular hobbies. I think he will like this one!

This is a little heart easel I designed with Valentines Day in mind! I glued a bit of lace behind the lattice heart mat and decorated with some mulberry flowers - it looks quite sweet!
