Cards For Different Occasions

I've made 3 cards in the last 24 hours for such different occasions. I definately am not a card maker nowadays and much prefer doing scrap pages. Oh well, sometimes you just have to bite the bullet as they say, so here's the cards:

1)This is for my cousin's as it's her birthday on Saturday. I've glittered alternate stripes on the backing paper which you can just about see.

2) My youngest sister and her DH-to-be get the keys to their first home tomorrow and I want a card to be on the doormat when they first get there (please Royal Mail don't let me down). The house design was card lifted from a card by my friend Juliet. It's not half as good as her card is, but I had to go to plan B when my stupid computer wouldn't realise I'd put a disc in it's drawer with downloads on. I wanted to use the back to front Dottie and George on it!


3) This card's for my mum's cousin (see post below). I've tried to make it suitable for a man to receive, but have a touch of femininity and gentleness, hence the lace.

Sketch This #79

Sketch This have a new sketch on their blog ~ #79. Handy really because I just fancied losing myself in some scrapping and didn't have a clue what I wanted to do. I saw the sketch and started looking for a couple of photos. Well, one kept drawing my eye and was almost screaming at me, so I gave up and went with it.

The photo is of one of my Mum's cousin's on his wedding day 22 years ago this year. This morning his wife died suddenly and her death has rocked us all. If she was ill even she didn't know about it as she would have talked to Mum. My thoughts and love are with Frank and everyone who knew Ann. She was a ray of sunshine and so loved. She and Frank were always smiling no matter what. They were so hard working on their farm too, yet had time for anyone and everyone. I know Ann will be missed by so many people.

I can't do much, but here's my tribute to the lady that brought happiness into the lives of so many and to the gentleman who found her, captured her heart and gave her his.

Also, today would have been my Mum and Dad's wedding anniversary. Love you both to pieces and miss you so much Dad.

Take care and please don't put off until tomorrow to tell your loved ones how much they mean to you and to give them a hug/call/visit. For some, tomorrow will be too late.

Love and hugs to you all from my little corner of the world
