I made a card for my son, Sean, who has just got a NEW JOB and will be starting next week !! Woo Hoo !! He recently moved to the UK and has been looking for a job since September,,, what a relief !! PHEW !! :-) He is a Scientist and has a quality control post in a company which manufactures ingredients for drug and food manufacturers,,, all very technical and just what he wanted :-) We are so very proud of him :-)

This is him with his sister Amy at a recent family wedding party :-)  Aww,, aren't they gorgeous :-)



I used Stacking Stars and Tag You're It Dies


Sean's favourite colour is blue so I kept it mostly Navy and I love the shaker cards I have been seeing everywhere using vellum envelopes and whatnot, so I decided to make a tag shaker. I used a Simon's Exclusive Falling Stars Stencil to sponge a design on a white die cut tag then stitched a vellum tag all around the edges. I then made a small slit behind the sentiment banner and dropped in a few die cut stars and sequins, I really LOVE how this has turned out and I hope Sean does too :-)


Thanks for looking and I would like to wish you all the very best of luck for 2014 :-) I have got off to a delicate start so I will be heading off back to bed for a siesta shortly ,,, hehe :-)
