Hand made Cards from my Family For My Birthday

It was my Birthday yesterday and I thought i would share with you the cards and gift made by my talented Daughter and Sisters.

These two above were made by my sister Rita and unfortunately the photo of the Clock really doesn't do it Justice it is absolutely stunning.

This next one  above some of you may recognize as it was made by my daughter Claire from http://creativemakings.blogspot.com.es/  and i was lucky enough to receive this for my birthday.

This one (above) was made by my sister Jean - unfortunately my two sisters do not have a blog as they both make stunning cards and gifts.

Thank you so much for looking and any comments are greatly appreciated.

Birthday Card

Here is my GDT card for Whoopsi Daisy this week.  The Challenge this week is Birthday Cards or Anything goes with a Whoopsi Daisy image .  I decided to go for Autumnal colours as my Birthday is in October and they are the colours i would use for me.

The image used is of course a Lovely Whoopsi Daisy image from Sheet  391 .I have coloured her with Copic pens. The digi stamp is  printed on  Nellie Snellen Oval die cut. The larger Die is cut with my Cricut imagine with a paper from Enjoy the Season cartridge as is the Happy Birthday sentiment. The flowers and Leaves were cut from Cricut Flower Shoppe using the same paper as the larger Oval. The Maple leaves were also using the Enjoy the Season Paper.

The backing paper is from a 12x12 Pixie Press pad called the Antique Charm Assortment.
The Lace Doilly  is from Stash coloured with Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Spiced Marmalade)
Jewels and beads from Stash.

Kanban Christmas Quickies

I got a pack of Kanban Christmas die cuts and card from Create and Craft a while ago and this is just a couple of images from the pack.

I am slowly getting a little collection of Christmas cards in my stash which is quite a relief as i always seem to have a mad rush just before Christmas.
