About Me

Welcome to my blog. Thanks for dropping in. I am Lisa, I have been married to Chris for almost 9 years now, and we have two gorgeous girls, Eloise and Tabitha who are 8 and 6. Tabitha has a rare genetic disorder called Langer-Giedion syndrome (aka TRPS type II), which causes numerous health and developmental problems for her, but she is still a happy little girl and makes us smile all the time.

Card request

A very old friend of mine asked me if I could make a card for a very good friend of her's who is turning 50. I used this request as an excuse to buy in a few more supplies, namely patterned papers that I have coveted for a while, and this is what I made.It uses the Elegant Soiree papers, and stamps from the Occasional Greetings and Simply Said sets, with some basic grey taffeta ribbon. I used the scallop square punch to punch out 8 shapes, then used the teabag folding technique to create the rosette.

Inside the card, I added this.

I used my neglected craft robo to cut out the Very Vanilla cardstock, and cut out the 50. Then I rounded 2 of the corners, and stamped over them with one of the stamps from the Tiny Tags set.

All in all, I like it. I just hope my friend (and her friend) do!
