DT card for Stampin' for the Weekend Challenge Swirls and Pearls

1:19 AM |

Good Morning my lovely friends and blogging buddies. Thank you so much for your encouraging comments on my recent cards, it means so much.

Today is the start of a new Stampin' for the Weekend Challenge and this time the theme is

Pearls and Swirls

So here is the birthday card which I made for my youngest daughter, Emily.
She is learning to play the piano at the moment, the mum of one of her friends is teaching her. Her ambition is to be a music teacher. So, when I saw Teresa (my crafty heart ) use this beautiful image I knew straight away that it would be perfect for her.

I have tried to take a close up to show you the image in more detail, I always have trouble photographing easel cards. The tiny charm says 'made with love'

And another one so you can see the musical note detail on the gorgeous paper and the sentiment

I really did enjoy making this card, and I'm pleased to say Emily loved it too!!

I decided to have a little break from making Design Team cards and made a summery card for a friend who's birthday is next week. I wonder if the sun will still be shining!

Item Used:

Digi stamp Teddy Bea lying in the flowers coloured with Promakers

Papers - First Editon Desert Blooms

While I'm here, I just wanted to let you know that the lovely Sam from Ladybug Crafts has announced that her new challenge will start on the 1st September and if you hop over to the blog you will see that she is doing a little draw for a gorgeous La Blanche stamp.

Thanks so much for taking the time to look at my blog today, I really appreciate it.
Enjoy your day, bye for now.
