About Me

My photo
I'm a 30-something wife to Gary, and mum to James (4) and Katie (2). After making loads of cards during my first year-long maternity leave, I'm now busy, busy, busy, with work and two kids. I'll get back to it someday though, I'm sure!

Sapphire Wedding Anniversary Card



My friend asked me to make a card for her parents' Sapphire wedding anniversary. I borrowed some of their wedding photos so that I could make it really personal.
I've scanned the photo onto ivory linen-finish paper, then used a really dark blue patterned card and this beautiful blue textured card with an embossed pattern. I've finished it off with an organza ribbon. I hope it's 'sapphire' enough, although everyone seems to think that sapphires are a different colour!

I finally got to visit Dawn Bibby's shop (in Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire) today, with the excuse of buying some special card and found the whole experience far too exciting. I could have spent a fortune in there! It's like an alladin's den of cardmaking. Highly recommended!
