I'm battling a horrid cold at the mo, it's managed to steal my weekend from me and make me feel pretty 'bleurgh!' so excuse me if my sniffles result in any typos on this post - my brain just isn't working at all!!!
The only thing I could force myself to do this weekend was make the sweet little cards I'd promised myself I'd make to raise funds for the British Heart Foundation. I was so tempted to just sleep, but I'd already asked my boss if I could sell the cards so he was expecting them this morning. Best not to disappoint my boss, I got inky...
These do look much sweeter IRL, if you think that they're only 3x3 inches in size and come complete with their own Kraft Envie, with 'To' and 'From' stamped on *sigh*. I know no-one else appreciates how sweet the envelopes are but I'm hoping you'll share my strange fondness for things like that!
So here's a closer look at each card:
...and this is Chris' fave - yes, I forced him to pick one and it did take him some time LOL! I think it's the bold colour combo that he's gone for, though I'm surprised he didn't choose a green card!
...and here's another shot of the lil' button card. I think this one is my fave, no wait, I think the cat one is, no, ooh, I can't choose! The main reason I've featured this lil' card is because of the Papertrey Peeps' (a group of amazing PTI addicts who've got together) current challenge which is to feature a button on your card - I think this qualifies! Feel free to join in this challenge too!

I can not believe how dreamy these are, honestly they are top notch. Between the yummiest colouring I have seen you do but the fab layouts - you are on fire :D
I WANT THIS SET (sigh) but unbelievably I have a card already to upload for the challenge (spooky coincidence), will do it on Friday I think.
Take care Aimes xx

Ugh! Sorry to hear you've been feeling bad...I was sick for several days last week, and am just now getting back to my old self.

"My main Squeeze" has to be my favourite, i'd snap it up! I appreciate the amazing little envelopes you've created, I can just picture them, I bet they are adorable.
As for getting Chris to choose a favourite, I was in stitches laughing. I always do that and it drives hubby crazy, he totally doesn't enjoy it lol!
Wishing you a speedy recovery, sending blogging hugs your way xx
I am a peep and haven't completed the button challenge yet. Need to - would have been so busy to just add buttons to one of my last projects but I kept forgetting. Anyway, just wanted to say I love those sweet little cards. I have that set and had visions of doing these cute little cards but have run out of time ~ especially with sickness and subbing at the school. Great job!
Hi Aimes, how are you?
tes creations sont géniales, j'adooore ce que tu fais
