Leaving Card

Thanks for stopping by my blog today.

I am sharing a card I made for our head at our nursery school. He decided to retire from his position and move to wales owning and running a guest house.

This is well out of my comfort zone.

He likes to ride a bike, mountain climb, play his guitar & sing with the children, run dad's go wild on a Saturday(which is Forest School), we go over to the university grounds,  etc. So when I was asked to create a leaving card for everyone to sign, I thought 'oh boy'.

Well this is it ........

I had to make sure there was plenty of writing space for all the nursery staff to write their message.

Again, thanks for taking time to look & look forward to your comments.

New Home


Hello there and thanks for popping by my blog today.

Today I am sharing a card I made for a friend who I met at the bus stop on my way to work.
Something had happened and we along with others were waiting an age for a bus to come along.
We just started talking and became good friends.

Me and my husband renewed our wedding vows last year (30 yrs). We went to the same church where we got married, but had a different vicar.

Denise, who I met at bus stop, worked at the university and had access to an industrial cutting machine. She made cut out heart shapes for the table, heart shaped wooden decoration with our names in it & also I asked her to design my cake topper.

Heart Decoration

Cut out heart shapes



Now onto the card I made 

I made the flowers.
Typed the saying myself.
The tag states what day they moved in.
Key I have had in my stash for yonks.


Inside of card

I think decorating the inside adds to the card. I never used to!!

Hope you like what you see & thanks again for stopping by.

Cheers ... to good friends..

Today I am sharing a card I made for a very good friend.
We both love a prosecco.

She loved the card, and I really enjoyed making it too.




I just printed off glass shape, cut out and used as a template. Added all the bling. My handmade foam flowers. Sentiment was from a Whimsy blog win I won ages ago along with loads more. It was perfect for this card.
