2 down, 3 to go!
Made this one for an old friend yesterday:

Can you guess how old she is today LOL Had a techinical hitch with posting it though - thought I had stamps & don't, decided to get some from WHS on Lime Street Station on the way home from town today but they didn't have any & I didn't have time to get them from elsewhere & no chance to print postage when I got home cos had to sort out a job application. So the card is waving at me as I type :dull:
Also made this for my mum:

Just hoping that my memory of her telling me the Owl & the Pussy Cat was her favourite poem is true...The more time I spent making the card, the more I started to worry that I'd made it up LOL Took ages to get a layout for this one, the pinks don't quite match & I was trying to do it on an A4 card including a full copy of the poem itself. The I had a brainwave, just kind of collage it all & chop the card down & stick the poem to the lost leaf. Sorted!
Wierd thing though - the designer of the decoup must have misunderstood the 'pea green boat' description & for some reason has depicted the Owl & Pussy cat in a pea pod, complete with giant peas??? I mean I know Lear wrote nonsense poetry, but this is a bit daft!

Just got Nanna card, a Dad & a Grandad card to do tonight - they will mostly be made up from a Kanban TSV (the one from March with the 6 design sets)...
