Today is my 7th wedding anniversary and I wanted to share the card I made for my husband.

I have mentioned in previous years that we got married in Malta with our closest family and absolutely loved it there. It is something I would recommend to anyone not wanting to get married abroad. It was a lovely day and a lovely holiday.

Anyway back to the card. I chose the paper first and went with the Studio Calico Darling Dear and Here & There. On one of the pieces from the Darling Dear pad is a lot of images and one of the images was this one with the words you & me and I thought it would be perfect for the centre of the card.

I decided to put it on a label from Clearly Besotted lovely labels and rather than using the rectangle it comes with for the centre I thought the square fitted well.

As I am loving the Happy word die from Clearly Besotted I used it here with the word anniversary from the Clearly Besotted Basic numbers and stamped it on a tag from the Clearly Besotted tag along dies.

I decided to use an embossing folder on the background and add some stars and hearts as well.



I got a lovely card and pretty flowers from my husband for our anniversary but it was prompted by a few people as he didn't even get me a card for Mother's day but mustn't complain (much!). Hehe.

Hope you are having a great weekend. See you soon.

It has been a long time since I made a card using a sketch challenge and so when my sister asked me to make some cards for her friends, I thought I would use the Mojo Monday sketch 339.

The sketch challenge was to make a tall and skinny card and so I made a card that is 3.5 inches wide and 5.5 inches high.


I went with the Martha Stewart Monarch large butterfly punch and the hydrangea punch on the circle and added some sequins to the top of the card.


I decided to use the new Clearly Besotted birthday word die on the cards and just stamp the happy and also the name.


For the second card, I kept the style the same but used a label from Clearly Besotted Lovely Labels and used different patterned paper and sequins.




I am really loving the word dies from Clearly Besotted and think they are great if you want to add some more character to the card than just stamping the sentiment.

Hope you are having a good week. See you soon.
