My eldest son called me on Friday to say that he and DIL were popping over on Saturday (her birthday) and could I make a card for her from him, stopped making cards for sale and made his one. Then on Monday, my youngest son called to ask if I could make a birthday card for him for a female friend called Sophie, it was needed for...Tuesday morning! At the moment I'm making cards like there's no tomorrow as Sophie's partner has said he'll put a box of my cards in his gym, so I stopped again and made his card, and as she's such a lovely girl I made her another card from DH and me.
Both the above cards are made with images and backing papers from Joanna Sheen's Fashion Boutique CD and just a couple of peel offs, very simple. Using this CD, you really don't need anything else as the images are perfect on their own.
I think the marathon card making session is more or less finished now as I have a box full of cards for sale, it was quite difficult to make cards for all ages and both genders and try to make them non-specific so they are appropriate for most occasions. I didn't really enjoy it as I felt I was rushing instead of just making something specially suited to a particular person. Fingers crossed that I sell some now to help towards all the money I've been spending lately on crafty goodies!
