Sister-in-Law birthday card meets Sketch Saturday

OMG it feels so good to finally be out of bed. I have had a few sneeky peeps on here with my lappie balancing on the bed, but my head has been so fuzzy I couldnt stay on for long. I am no where near better but I feel much better than I did on Sunday, my poor hubby had to come home from work and look after me. Bless him he has been really good looking after Oli and me, Abbie had to go over to my moms as she couldnt be around me just incase. You know your vows when you say for better or for worse, well he has definately seen me looking my worse these last couple of days, and he still says i'm beautiful not sure what he's after lol !!!!. Anyway I really needed to get 3 cards made by the weekend so have braved it tonight, and I must say I am quite happy with how they have turned out. This first card is for my Sister-in-law for her birthday and I have used one of my new Hanglar images that I purchased off ebay (not sure if they are allowed to sell them, but it means I got my fix anyway). I have also tried to follow the sketch from Sketch Saturday for this card, although I did cut a couple of my papers slightly wrong but im hoping that its still ok.

The image is Hanglar, Bazzil swiss dots cardstock, papers are Papermania Scruptious range, flowers are from Poppicrafts with a Dovecraft flower brad in the centre, charm from ebay, computer generated sentiment & buttons from the shop.

Cute Card Thursday

WOW 3rd post from me tonight, I am on a roll. Well Abbie has been asleep for the last hour or so, so this card I managed to make in peace. Poor soul she has been very clingy today and her eyes are a bit sunk, hope it isnt another Antibiotic job but there is so much stuff going about it wouldnt surprise me if she has caught something. Have to keep my eye on her over the next day or so. Anyway this card is for Cute Card Thursday which was an open challenge. I used a lovely Rachael Ann Miller image from the lovely Heidi, and went for a purple and lilac theme.



Image is Rachael Ann Miller, coloured in using Whisper pens. Basic Grey Eva papers, Making Memories flower, charm from ebay & ribbon & rose from shop.
