CRAFTY CAKES

We celebrated our Ruby Wedding Anniversary this year.  It has been the most amazing forty years, with so many marvelous happenings all the way through.  So to mark the event we had a party with all the family.  I needed something special for the cake and when I saw this .gsd pattern for a card here Thyme Graphics I knew it would be perfect!

 

However my efforts were totally upstaged by the cake made for us by The Tiddlers. Decorated by five year old Beth and supervised by Ben (three). It was just spectacular!   

We have achieved many things in our forty years together but our most spectacular successes must be our two talented & beautiful daughters and two of the most wonderful grandchildren we could have been blessed with. sigh......... ;0)

By the way, Thyme graphics have some fantastic cutting files.  It's well worth having a look!

KEYS TO SUCCESS!

I've been experimenting with the idea of keys as cards just lately, starting with these cuties.

They really do make an unusual card, either stand alone or as a topper.  The difficulty I have is that because they are double sided, when you come to print them out, unless you have a flatbed printer like my age old Epson, the keys come out offset. doh!

I'll have to see about a fix for that - something else to keep me attached to my computer for a few minutes. This is a standing joke in the family.  I only have to say 'It'll only take a minute' & everyone settles down for the long haul - I do tend to get a bit sidetracked occasionally :0)

Moving On

As my blog name has been hijacked by another blogger, I've decided the best way forward is to start over. So you will now be directed to my new blog - Sheila's Super Duper Crafty Corner.  Hopefully I will have better luck with that one :0) See you there
