WHERE DOES THE TIME GO

I thought I was going to have more time for crafting, but we've been decorating the living room, and I don't know where the time has gone. I have managed to make a few cards, and here are 2 of them, These are an order for a friend, for her neices wedding, the colour scheme is black and ivory, and she didn't want a church, or a bride and groom on the card. So here is what I have done, the 2nd smaller card is a gift wallet.
         

I also made this little tag,to go in the gift card, I know it's got a bride and groom on, but she doesn't have to use it if she doesn't want to.

         I used            a heart embossing folder from Crafts Too
                              flowers and pearls from wildorchid crafts
                              heart shaped nesties
                              martha stewart edge and leaf punches
                              LOTV image coloured with copics

More time for crafting

Well my grandaughter Freya, who I have looked after 2-3 days a week since she was 6 months, starts full time school on Mon. She has been going part time for the last 2 weeks. So apart from school holidays I will have more time to craft. I will really miss her, but she and her older sister Megan will still visit once a week,at least, and hubby and I will have more time for adventure, now we are both retired.Here is a card I have made for a friend,her birthday is later this month, but she is visiting New York and Boston, to celebrate her 60th, so I have sent it early

The image is a digi stamp from Bugaboo

and the sentiment is computer generated
