Special 1st birthday card

My friend's baby turns one on the 12th of this month - I can't believe he is a year old already! I remember her being pregnant and getting bigger each time I saw her, and I remember the day I got a text message with a picture of a new-born baby boy in it. Ive watched him grow and change and he's quite the little boy now! And he's got a gorgeous smile!! =D

Anyway, I've just made time to sit and make him a card so I thought I'd share it with you.

There's a monkey in the bottom right as Linsey always calls him Monkey so I thought it was cute :) I've bought him a Raa Raa the Noisey Lion little library because last time we went out Linsey bought him a Raa Raa rucksack to hang on the buggy with all his bits and pieces in and she got waaaaaaaaay too excited when she saw it lol! And I've got him a nice little shirt which I know he will look lovely in. I'm going to the shops a bit later to get a little something for her to congratulate her on her first year of motherhood :)

I've just text her to tell her I've got some presents to bring over and she's invited me to his birthday tea party so I'm chuffed! That's my Tuesday night sorted =D x

When 2 say "I do"

Today I sat in a beautiful church and watched my friend get married to his beautiful bride, it was lovely! I designed a card expecially for them so I thought I would share it with you.

Just underneath the hearts I have the bride and grooms initials, they just catch the light and give a little bit of interest to the card without taking away from the design too much. It was a lovely day and so nice to catch up with some friends :)
