A couple of cards




Saw where a crafter had used ribbon to do lattice work on another site so I thought Id have ago. I used Jaks free floral fancies in pastel colours to add to the lattice
work. I think it is quite efective with ribbon do you?

Granddaughters Graduation card







Although our eldest granddaughter is lucky enough to be working for the past 2 months in the Intensive Care Unit at the childrens ward in the Freemans Hospital at Newcastle it is her graduation ceremony on Monday I am hoping to attend but it depends how I feel......
Ive never made a graduation card before so hope this is Ok. I used pearlised pale pink card embossed the top and bottom with a cuttlebug flower strip to which I added pearls in the centre. Then added a silhouette ( bet this isnt spelt right lol )of a graduation figure one of Crafty Nikkys sheets a couple of the lovely pearl pins which a crafting friend kindly sent me to try .

Hope she likes it and you think it is Ok for a Graduation card..

Well I didnt make the ceremony but my daughter and SIL said just as well as it was a long day and bitter cold..Here is some of the pics they took of one very happy clever granddaughter....One with her mum (my daughter) and one with her proud mum and dad.
