*End of Chemo* Party

Here's some pictures from our party yesterday. 

I chose purple because it is the colour for pancreatic cancer just as pink is for breast cancer. 

The favours

Go here for the instructions on making the flowers

Now for a couple of cards......

Check out Valita's blog for the video on making the hat...the link is on the right.

I made this for my husband

That's it for now, thanks for checking out my blog.

Have a lovely day everyone.

Welcome!

Today we are having a family *end of chemo* party for my lovely hubby.  I have been busy all week getting ready for it, so don't have anything to post right now.  After today I'll have a few things to share with you.

I also want to welcome my newest bloggy buddy Karen.  Thanks so much for joining us.

Have a great day everyone, I'll be back soon.

Our Anniversary

 This is the anniversary card I made for my hubby.  I found the template for the vest & tie here.

Sorry can't remember where the sentiment is from.

That's all for now, have a great day,

A Special Thank You!

This is my second post for today.
I made this thank you card for the staff at the cancer clinic where my hubby has been having chemo for the past 6 months.  They have been just super and we appreciate them all very much ~ from our oncologist to the lovely lady, who as a cancer patient herself, volunteers at the clinic every week. 

Friday will be his last treatment....woo hoo!!!

Recipe for my card...

The cute nurse is *Nurse Gillian* a digi image from Prairie Fairy.

Coloured with Copics and cut out with Nesties, then popped up on top of the next size Nestie. (hard to see here)

Sorry, can't remember where the sentiment is from.

I added a paper bow (look under *tutorials* in labels for the instructions on how to make this)

 A closer look

 The  inside

I punched out the flowers, then punched the holes and added a couple of circles to the centres.

Thanks a bunch        for stopping by.

Till next time.....

Memories of Us!

THE COVER

This was made with a page from the Recollections *Stitch in Time* paper pad.  I cut out the flowers, pots, leaves and table cloth from the paper, then embossed the flowers leaves & pots to round them out, glued them onto the paper and added a button to the centre of each flower. I bound it with my Cinch and added ribbons to the binding.

(Since I took this picture I added sparkles to the title)

Some of the inside pages...

My hubby and me (or is it I) at a local trade fair in 1991.

Hubby in his workshop.

I used a template found online to make the apron.  Cut out each piece from denim paper, inked the edges with distress ink, then added the tools to the pocket.

 There are 3 pages here of the pets we have owned over the years. Sophie and Alfie we have now, unfortunately Toby died just over a year ago.  He was 12years old, we had him from a few weeks old.

A few years ago at a hotel in California the morning we left on a cruise.  The large flower is one I found on sale at Scrapbookers Paradise. I cut out the swirl on my Cricut.

 We took a trip to England in 2009.  Here we are with some of our family (we're in the middle)  I added a paper ruffle to one end of this page.

My lovely hubby on a cruise we took in January of this year.

 Dancing at our sons wedding.....almost 25 years ago!! Gulp!! ;=)

The birdcage is cut with my Cricut.  I added thin red strips of paper to the back so it would show through the holes.  The edging is cut out with an EK Success edge punch.

This is the last page which opens up from the top and bottom.

Inside the last page.

We can be as goofy as anyone, as you can see!

THE BACK COVER

Most of the sentiments I used in this album are from TLC and Ginger.  I have links to their blogs on the right.

I haven't included all the album pages here, I think that's probably enough for now..... but there are a couple more pages on recent posts. 

Appreciate so much you stopping by to look at my blog, I'll be back with more soon.

Special Friend!

I've been wanting to try these paper ruffles ever since I saw them on

Clares blog.  My first try at these wasn't too successful, but I decided to use them anyway. I'll just keep trying & hopefully they'll get better.  

The next pic is a little dark...sorry about that.

I just about have my album finished, just need to make one more insert for a pocket, then it's done.  Here's a picture of another one of the pages,  I will post the rest soon.

Thanks for visiting my blog today, see ya soon!
