Another "Friend" card

And here's yet another card made using the "A little bit of happiness" retired stampset and the hostess gift designer papers. Don't you just love them!

Chris's Birthday Card

Here is the card that I sent to one of my fellow Jems - Chris. It is her birthday today, so I can safely post it now and not spoil the surprise.
Happy Birthday Chris.
I have used the retired "A little bit of happiness" stampset, I have done two or three of these cards now and I like them all.

Always Artichoke

I started a thank you card last night, but was too tired to finish it, so I have finished it tonight and will post it tomorrow. I have used a colour that I haven't used before - Always Artichoke - and I think I like it almost as much as Old Olive. Luckily it is one of the colours that will still be with us in the Regals Collection. I think it looks very regal. Notice I have eventually used one of the little ribbon buckles from the Hodgepodge Hardware. I love these so much I am loathe to part with them. I have used the Schoolbook Serif Alphabet again and a retired stampset (I think this was the first hostess gift I earned from my first "Open House" last year) called A Little Bit of Happiness. The paper is the current Hostess gift Designer Paper.
