Cards, layouts and having fun

I took some time out from my CT work to make a couple of layouts using templates from Lissykay Designs. The first one was using a template from her 'The Beautiful Game' pack which you can find in store here:

I also used the 'GingerScraps Essential: Ultimate Collection' which you can find here:

Here is one I made for my daughter Susan's birthday in May using some papers and embellishments I got with a cardmaking magazine:

 

It was my husband's birthday earlier in June and here is the card I made for him:

I was so thrilled that he had made this special card for me.
