The Anniversary card I made for our Anniversary at the beginning of April

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How are you getting on? Things are changing slightly. We aren't rushing out to the tip or the Garden Centre and my hubby can still work from home. Not much is changing for us.

As the title of this post says I made this card a while ago and I am not sure why I haven't got round to sharing it before.

When I made the gift bag and card for my friend I rediscovered my oriental paper pad. I used some of the paper on this card. 

The image came from an old card. The bears are so cute. I cut the image and the mats with the Double Pierced Rectangle dies from Creative Expressions. 

This die is a Signature die. I have used it a lot. 

My hubby did like his card. On the day we had a take away pizza. It is interesting what has become a treat now. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Not Just Cards Challenge blog - November Challenge - Anything Goes

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your weekend going? Today is a rather special day and we are off to church for a Remembrance service. I think it is going to be very busy.

As today is 11th the new challenge starts on the Not Just Cards Challenge blog and the theme is Anything Goes. I am sharing the card I made for my friend's special birthday.

I decided to make rosettes. I used my trusty Hougie Board to do the scoring. I made 5 rosettes in the end. I added two doilies and some patterned paper to the background. 

Why not come and join us our challenge are always Anything Goes. Click on the logo and you will be taken there. 

I added die cut circles to each. 

I added die cut details to each one. 

The glasses seem appropriate for celebrating. 

This is the Poppy Wave that my friend has created in the entrance to our church. People of all ages made poppies of all different shapes and sizes, 

I am not sure if this friend liked the card. We did have trouble going to the party which was a friend's house and we had been given the wrong house number. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:
