Sweet Friend

It is rather late here but we have only just got back from town and I need to unwind before we go to bed. 

Way back last year we organised to go to the Royal Albert Hall and see Kooza, Cirque du Soleil.  It is never a cheap evening out but it was a wonderful show and the skill and bravery of the artistes is amazing.  I almost stopped breathing at a few points as some of the acts are so amazing.

Anyway on to my card which is for two challenges - VLVJan2013 week1 and Twist of Faith challenge 21 Friendship.  I used some Innovative Stamp Creations stamps which haven't seen ink before from a set called Friends are Special.  I stamped with Distress inks and then painted them with more. I used dies for my flower foliage and a mask to create my background.  The sentiment is stamped and embossed with white powder.

Hope you find some time to spend with sweet friends this weekend.  Have a good one.

Welcome Hope

Hope - what a beautiful name for a baby born at this time of year, in fact any time of year.  This card is for Hope's family - Mum, Dad and brothers and sisters.  I have used the sketch VLVJan2013 Week2, with this week's OCC colours and I am also entering this in this week's Twist of Faith challenge.  The stamps are from Verve, old ones but still very cute.

Thank you for looking - hope you are having a great 1st weekend of 2013.

Happy New Year - 2013 is here!

Big Ben has sounded and the fireworks over Big Ben, the London Eye and the Thames looked fantastic so 2013 is officially here - Happy New Year.

I made this card today - one of my own "thank you" cards and I am entering it in the Twist of Faith card challenges no 17.  The challenge is white and gold and even though this does not contain any scripture I hope it counts.

I hope you know God's peace and happiness in this New Year.
