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!

Smile Card


My Grandma's been having a really tough time of things recently, so I wanted to make her a card that would really cheer her up. If there's one thing that's guaranteed to make her smile, it's my little boy, James!

The template is from the current docrafts Creativity! magazine. I've used autumnal backing paper that came free with a recent copy of Quick Cards.

It doesn't show up very well here, but I've used quite a bit of glitter on the card - Anita's glitterations for the border, and stickles gold around the photo and to write the sentiment. The buttons and ribbon are from the Papermania sunshine capsule collection. I've inked the edges using distress inks.
