Arty Girl birthday cards



I made some birthday cards last night using those background papers I made for the Artistic Mother group again...they are really coming in handy. I have stamped over them some more with these delightful birds. The little collaged square has a range of stamps from sequin waste to images of Da Vinci's Armenia and features a delightful little girl photo stamp called Sally...isnt she a cute arty girl just like me..ha ha! All stamps available from Scrollswork stamps..click on coloured writing to take you there.

I was reading some of my poems to my husband last night and in his typical Northern comedy style he decided to invent one too...so read on for a laugh!

How green is my greenhouse?

Brown earth and brown plants!

I went to the cinema this morning and saw a marvellous film called The Blind Side..recommend it if you want a good cry and a laugh..really heartwarming film.

Awesome birthday cards. I have found the background papers very useful for many things, too. The kids and I made my mil birthday cards with our background papers last week.

You husband is hilarious. I bet he's a lot of fun to live with.

Those birthday cards look beautiful Lorraine! I love them! Hopefully, Shona's book will get to me soon and I can figure some of this stuff out that you all are doing. :o) But the art part...that's sheer talent!

Your hubby's poem is too cute! Ironic I would say. Thanks for the nice comment. By the way, I am featuring your poem about you and your son and the pretty clipboard this Saturday along with others on my Best Posts of the Week. It's in a thumbnail on my side bar Linky List.

Hi Lorraine, fantastic birthday cards; I also like the other card you did using Scrolls Work images (the one with the blue flower). You are very talented with your various techniques and backgrounds.
