Giving Thanks

The joy of parenthood and children is certainly something to be thankful for and I know how blessed I am to have my own two beautiful children. In fact I have turned into one of those Mum’s whose whole life revolves around their children and the activities they have embraced. I am thankful that in all my children attempt… they try their hardest, what more could you ask for! When I saw this image it reminded me of when I was pregnant, and I had this favourite dress I wore and I have copied the fabric design onto my image Mom Loves You from Milk Coffee. 

I’d love you to come and Join our Challenge this week at Card Crafter’s Circle 50th  Challenge

Thank You Card with a Family Baked Dinner!

I have only used fabric once before on a card and it was quite a challenge to think what to do for my card this week. I recently went thru my daughters wardrobe and anything she won’t wear or is too small I popped in bags under the house and plan to take it to the Op Shop. I dug through the bags and found a brand new dress she refused to wear and used my Stampin Up Top Note Die to cut the fabric and a Sizzix Hearts Die to cut some old denim shorts of hubby’s for the heart. Hubby nearly had a heart attack at the chopped up shorts until he realised they were the one’s that were too small for him now!! I used my fingernails to pull at the edges of my fabrics to fray the fabric for a Shabby Chic effect.I used a paper pad I received Free with Australian Simply Cards Magazine recently, the paper is from Webster’s Pages Petite Papers-Collection Combo Pack. It’s great when you can use pre colour coordinated  papers and the card comes together that much easier, I really love this script paper in the background. I borrowed a Tim Holtz Tattered Florals Die from a girlfriend at my group day last week and it’s such a pretty flower.  I used an image from Milk Coffee called I Love you Mom. There’s nothing like a family roast dinner to warm your heart!

Nurse Get Well Wishes Card

For my construction card this week I made a ZIG ZAG CARD. I used this adorable Charlotte is a Nurse from Milk Coffee to make a Get Well Card as I do not seem to have any Get Well Cards in my stash, it also seemed appropriate as I myself have a cough/cold this week. It’s been pouring with rain for days where I live, so I been having a few sleep in’s as luckily it’s school holidays. I recently learnt the trick to half fussy cut and half spellbinder cut my image and I’m very pleased with the result. I used my new Molotow white paint pen which I picked up at the craft fair to add a few highlights to her shoes and dress.

I’d love you to come and Join our Challenge this week at
