Sea Themed and 80 Years

Hi Blogging Beauties, 

Hope you are enjoying your long weekend (those in Aus) it is very chilly, but so nice to stay home and snuggle up, watch movies, read and make cards.

I made these two cards as a special order.

Two male 80th Birthdays with a sea theme.

Did my  best.

I made a couple of plain 80ths first and hated them so these are my second go.

I ended up being relatively happy with them.

Anyway the lady liked them and bought them so that is the main thing!

Has anyone read the book the Bark Cutters by Nicole Alexander?

I finished it today.

(Carol this is a great Aussie read if you are interested.)

I loved it and found myself really relating to the story.

I thoroughly recommend it, especially if your family owns a farm that has been passed down through the generations.  I am keen to start the sequel asap.

Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Thanks for visiting,

Alicia xx

Mad For Markers ~ DT ~ New Challenge - Tag Sketch

Hi Blogging Beauties,

There is a new challenge over at Mad for Markers and it is a Tag challenge designed by Melissa.

There is some lovely inspiration already over at the Mad for Marker's Challenge Blog!

I will  be posting mine next Tuesday.

Hope I can make up a nice one!!

Today though, I have another card.

I get a lot of special requests through my Card Site Aussie Cards for Sale.

This was a request for an 80th Birthday.

I felt comfortable in choosing these papers because the lady turning 80 buys cards off me and so I am familiar with her tastes in cards.  I kept it very simple...but the papers are very decorative so I didnt need to do too much.

I have a very busy week happening this week!

(The story of my life)

I had Kindergarten today and it was a very busy day!

Hope you had a happy day.

Will talk again soon,

Alicia xx
