Yet Another Couple of 50th Birthday Cards

One of the ladies in the office asked me would I do two 50th Birthday cards - this must be a popular week for 50th Birthdays. And yes I have done some more decoupage as she asked me to do them at short notice and my brain instantly thinks decoupage. Added some gems to the top one. And yet another Me To You Bear one. Giving her them tomorrow - so hope that she likes them.

50th Birthday Card

My best friend Susan is 50 on Thursday - I'm sure she wont mind me telling everyone. Originally wasnt going to do a decoupage card for her, but changed my mind. Well what can I say. I like doing decoupage and I love these Me To You Bears. Printed the card on my computer and added some card candy.

Valentine's Card

Here is the Valentine's card I made for Douglas and yes - its another easel card. Used the Popcorn Romance CD for the image and decoupaged it up. Printed a sentiment on my PC and used my nestabilities to cut it. Also used some red card candy. He likes it and so do I.

Jamie's Birthday Pictures

We had a great night. Its only when you look for photos of family that you realise that there arent many - mainly because we all hate getting our pictures taken - well I do anyway. Here is a picture of the birthday boy with his mum.

This is one of my three great nephew's. Love these boys to bits and its always great spending time with them - which doesnt happen too often. I can still remember how proud I was when they were born. They have grown up to fine young men. I am so proud of all of them.

Jamie's Birthday Cards

It was my great nephew Jamie's 18th birthday on the 4th February. Not only had I to make a card for myself, but had volunteered to make one from his dog to give him. I used the Popcorn Bear Romance CD for Jay's card and then decided that I shouldnt do decoupage for mine to make them different. Here are the two of them. I quite like these easel cards.

My First Easel Card

It's my friend Alice's birthday at the weekend and I have just finished her card. Knew that I wanted to make an easel card, but just couldnt decide what to put on it. My problem is that decoupage is the first thing that comes to me when making a card and I wanted to do something different. Ok it has decoupage on the front - so that was the easy bit. Hope she'll like it. Used Sharon Duncan's embossibilites CD for the background. Just love these backing papers. The rubber stamp was a one from a selection from Stampin Up and also used my SU punches. Ribbon and flowers from my stash.

A Million Dollars

When we were in Vegas we went to the older part of the town - Freemont Street and had a look around there. A lot quieter than down the strip. One of the places we went into was Binions which - as far as I can remember - the place which did the first Poker tournament. Inside they have a million dollars in a case and you can get your picture taken beside it. Oh how it would be good if you could take it home with you.
