Marie is turning 40

I friend I met through playgroup is having a Birthday this weekend. I have made this card for her.  I think there will be one or two beverages to celebrate as well as lots of laughs and dancing with friends and possibly a few pics taken.

I have used 3 stamp sets (see below for exact names) from The Craft’s Meow to make the “Photo”.  Stamped using Melon Mambo, Tempting Turquoise and Pacific Point Ink and markers from Stampin UP!

I am linking this up to these challenges

Before I go just want to put my mum hat on and share some great news. Miss E (17) and Miss S (13) are swimming for their school on Thursday night. Well done. The best news is Miss E has made captain of the team – she found out earlier this morning at a team meeting. What a great start to her last year of high school.

Thanks for stopping

Hope you are having a great week

Cheers

The second card I used some of the punched out pieces from the first card for the boat. I stamped some additional boats and the sun and coloured them with markers. I also had a printed border I added to the bottom.

I am linking these upto the following challenges

and here http://fiskarscraft.typepad.com/my_weblog/2013/01/celebrating-10-years-with-fiskars.html. A generous prize.  I couldn’t wait to use the punch – it is so easy to use.

Busy day today. Dropped DH at work in Werribee and took the children out to the Werribee Open Range Zoo. We went in the new safari bus – 4 carriages! Beautiful weather for the zoo today.  School holidays are nearly over – DH goes back Tuesday, Miss 8 Wednesday and the others stagger from there over the next week.

Tomorrow I’m popping into work then book club girls are out to dinner and a movie. We are off to see the Life of Pi – that was the last book we read. Not sure the movie will be like the book any way I’ll know tomorrow!

Thanks for stopping by for a peek – I enjoy reading the lovely comments you leave.

Cheers
