Clean and Simple

This card is for my elder son to give to his fiancée on her birthday, I've kept it really simple as she prefers this style.

Happy Halloween

This Halloween card is for my 18 year old, you can't miss out on any reason to give him a cash bonus, he's really good with his money and saves most of it. So a more adult card.

Christmas Past

A Christmas Past card today I love all the embellishments that are on this style of card, but feel I need a bit more practise to really achieve the effect I am looking for. Another dull morning and on the chilly side autumn is definitely here, the dull mornings have turned into beautiful afternoons crisp and bright.

Despite the awful train journey last week I have a trip to Edinburgh planned for the end of the month where I am meeting one of my sisters to introduce her to an aunt who I met through undertaking my family tree last year. I have known for some time that my dad had a half sister and another family member in Canada  met through researching my tree heard from her after yet another relative in Canada had contact with her.
