Hip hip hooray!

A year ago my sister had a hip replacement so I wanted to make her a happy 1st birthday 'hip' card :)
Inspired by a couple of blog challenges, this is what I came up with ...

Thank you for all the lovely comments I've received on my last few blog posts - they're really appreciated. I hope you have a lovely weekend.

Take care.

Little cards of love

I'm back! After a few months absence from blogging I'm back to share some love with you :)
Valentines cards are everywhere in blogland & Pinterest at the moment. This card started out as a Valentine card but I decided to change the sentiment to make it an anniversary card.

Apologies for the photo, daylight had disappeared when I made the card.

I'm entering this card in this month's challenge with Clearly Besotted where the theme is 'Love'.
I'm also hoping it fits in with the challenge at CAS-ual Fridays where the challenge is to use 'blocks of color on your CAS creations' ...



I used a variety of Clearly Besotted's stamps for this card, including the repeat stamping of the small hearts stamp to make the banner across the top of the card. I made little cards for each of the LOVE letters, here's a close up ...

Supplies used:
Stamps: Happy anniversary sentiment from 'Basic Numbers', letters from 'Basic Alphabet', rounded corner square from 'Geometric Style', postage stamp & hearts from 'Post It: Love' - all from Clearly Besotted

Thanks for popping by & taking a look at my creations.
Take care x
