March and April Cards I've Made

Here are a few of my latest cards that I've made:-



I did this card for my good friends Pete & Sue for their
40th Wedding anniversary.







This was a card I did for MIke's Mum



I love these cool old fashioned men cards!



Another favorite of mine is the lace doily and rose centre topper







This is a pretty lime green teapot card that I made from
a free gift in a magazine!

 

Pretty little cupcake card from freebies!



And Last but not least, the card I did for Mike for our 7th wedding Anniversary! 

As usual we were away for our Anniversary but we've decided maybe to go later on in the year as this year was
a complete washout!  We had torrential rain and gale force winds that rocked the caravan we were in and sounded
like the roof was being pelted with stones!  I did have a lovely facial and back massage that Mike booked up for me
and had my nails manicured.  We spent some time in the spa centre which had a sauna, steam room and jacuzzi and that was really nice and relaxing.



UPDATE ON CHARITY CARDS

I'm very pleased to say that including a new dog collar and lead and the five cards I made especially for the Rescue Remedies dog Rescue Charity auction did sell!  I made £17 in total, which I was a bit disappointed in, as was hoping to raise more, but I suppose every little helps!
In total the charity made £828 so it will go help to rescue more unwanted dogs.


I was bidding on a few things on the charity too, but the last day of the auction was the day/night spent with my dad in hospital and he sadly died a few days later.  He was a wonderful father to all 7 of us and I will fondly remember all the happy memories he's left us with.

This photo of my Dad and me was taken at a Country Music night and although Dad was having difficulty breathing, he made sure he danced with me and his 4 other daughters and his 2 sister-in-laws ...... a lovely memory!


I've been busy making some cards so I'll put them up here and as of this moment they are all up for sale!!

So there they all are - hope you like what I've made! I would love to hear your comments on them, so drop a line and let me know!

CARDS FOR CHARITY

The Dog Rescue centre where we got our dog Chesney from, are doing another Charity Auction and bidding starts on 14th january up until 29th January.  So I thought I would do some doggy-themed cards to donate to their auction.  Last year I raised £28 for them from my cards and some other stuff.

They are called Rescue Remedies and rescue all kinds of terrier type dogs who are about to be put down, just because people don't want them anymore!  We are so happy with Chesney and he is a smashing dog, very lovable and good with my grandsons and everyone thinks he's a handsome boy - what do you think?

Anyway here are some of the cards I'm about to put on the site for the charity and I hope you can give them a look in and maybe even bid on something, they do all sorts of things to raise money! ( http://rescueremedies.myfastforum.org/forum118.php )

These cards were very simply made by using pictures from last year's calendar that had smaller pictures of the puppies on the back.  I then added a sentiment and a border to complete the card!
