Teenage Girl Card

What is all this weather about, we have had a great couple of weeks making it ideal for walking. Then we get hit with snow again, freezing cold and wind chill, brrrrrrrrr.  How I long for Spring to arrive and stay for a while.  I am a hothouse plant I need the sun, I hate winter.

Enough about the weather.  I have not really done much since last week but have been asked to make a card for a teenage girl.  Not knowing the person the card is meant for I have made two, well you know me, one is never enough.  I made one for a sedate, lady like girl and one for someone who likes fun.  They are for an Italian lady in our village who is my best customer to give to the teenager and I really like to make cards I think she would like.  The only problem is once I give her a choice she ends ups buying them all which is not what I intended.  Here is my first card I will post the other one later.

 

The base is a 8 X 8 card, the papers are from my stash, I seem to have collected quite a collection and I have not kept many wrappers.  The image (her name is Amelia) was one my friend passed to me so I have no idea who it is by.  I used Spellbinders Resplendent Rectangles, varying sizes for the topper and backing and for floral corsage.  The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the sentiment is from Kanban.  The butterfly is from my stash as is the corners.  The topper was already coloured so I cannot take the praise for that.  This is the sedate one.

 

On 23rd March I, along with Patricia http://patricia-summerhousecrafts.blogspot.co.uk/ and her sister Hazel are having a day out to Inverness to meet up with Kate http://cuilliesocks.blogspot.co.uk/.  We are travelling by Megabus and it is only costing us 50p as we all have the oldies bus pass, a real bargain.  It will be a real pleasure to meet up with Kate and put a face to her blog.  I have previously met up with Patricia and Hazel, two very wonderful people who make jewellery to sell in aid of a couple of charities they support.  I bet we will have a great time chatting and catching up, I am really looking forward to that.

 

I spent last Saturday at the SECC in Glasgow and bought all the items from my list and a few extras.  Now I am not usually tidy but after arriving home I put everything away and forgot to take a picture of my purchases.  It was really just the run of the mill stuff, glue pens, beads (I am in to making stick pins for my cards), some crochet flowers, A3 card, cosmic shimmer glue (can't live without that) LOTV stamp (the cupcake stand one), I forget what else.  Alisha, who was with me, bought a few beads to make herself a bracelet.  I bought her a Nail Art kit and she was so delighted with that.  As a treat for her Mum on Mother's Day, she painted her nails and what a great job she did.

 

Well ladies that's it for now before I bore you silly. 

 

Take care and wrap up warm.
