Hooked on Roses


At the end of last year I made several cards the same as this one but this one I made for my Mum for Mother's Day.  When I visited my Facebook page this morning one of my cousins had posted a lovely message as her status and I thought I'd share it here. 

"Happy Mothers Day to my wonderful Mum, a truly brilliant lady, who I love dearly....to me, seeing I'm a pretty great mum too lol, to all you other lovely mums, hope you all have a great day, getting waited on hand an foot! and to those who's very special Mums are in heaven, a big huge hug ♥

I've become totally hooked on making these roses using the English Rose Marianne die and several more of these cards will appear on my blog shortly.  You can check this post to find out about the other items used to put this card together.  

Here are a few more views.

 

 

This next card is the one I made for Elaine and Ian to give their Granny and it uses Marianne's Anja Squares set of dies.  Another set of dies I've become hooked on using and my addiction is spreading as members of our Tuesday Crafting Bee have been adding both the roses dies and Anja squares dies to their stash.  The die cut behind the sentiment was made using a Spellbinders label die.

 


I also can't stop using the backing papers from the Nitwits collection Thimbles and Threads.

Wishing all Mums reading this a lovely day.  Although it's a cold snowy day here that won't stop me enjoying the bar of chocolate, new book, set of vouchers to trade in at a later date which cover washing dishes, hoovering and a lunch out and lovely cards I've been given and then there's the Dancing on Ice final and Call the Midwife to sit back and watch too.  Perfect. 

Thanks for reading today
