Aussie catch up and New Catalogue cards!

So my now Aussie blond niece had her eleventh birthday,

which obviously calls for shimmer and glitter :-)

For my Darling Dad a very simple variation, a real less is more card this year! I did my usual trick of displaying his age in such an unusual way only I knew about it! Rhinestones at the top of the card for every decade, and the ones at the bottom for each year! On a background of Stripes embossed Tempting Turquoise card stock.

 

As you have probably guessed I have this week off from work, so am trying to catch up with my blog amongst other things - an ideal opportunity to pour over the NEW catalogue :-)

 

Keep on crafting - especially when it's raining and you CAN'T paint windows or do the gardening that you thought you would do with your week off - hee hee hee! Gen xxxx
