Hi everyone,
As I mentioned in my previous post I have two Easter cards to share with you ~ belatedly!
We were in North Wales over the Easter weekend and had a thoroughly nice time too ~ we are not go-away people, preferring our own company and home ~ besides with three dogs there are not many places we can land ourselves (the dogs don't do kennels) ~ but staying with my Dad and Stepmom was great and the dogs loved walkies on the beach.
So, here is card number two made for my Dad and Stepmom.
As you can see, it is a variation on the previous card, just made in a different colour way.

Hi everyone,
Firstly many thanks for all your lovely comments ~ I love reading them and thoroughly appreciate the time you all take out to comment ~ I know how precious time is.
Today I am sharing two Easter cards that I made ~ I know I am late, but we were away at Easter and not being blog savvy I hadn't scheduled a post to coincide with Easter itself!
This is the first card ~ made for my Mom.

Hi everyone,
I hope you are all well and dry! It is raining here ~ so Dog towels on duty again.
Well, all my Motheris Day cards have been posted today (those that need to be posted that is), most people only have one to contend with I have four ~ don't ask!! All will be revealed over the next few days.
So, today I am sharing the card I made for my actual Mum ~ she doesn't 'do' computers so I know there is no chance of her seeing it before the day.
A funny story ~ when I first started making cards I made a card for my Mum, I can't remember if it was a Birthday card or a Mother's day card, but I had put a lot of effort into it ~ as you do. On speaking to her all she could say was "You could have put the word 'Mum' on it"...... what can I say? So, ever since then I have gone overboard with the 'Mum' bit on her cards and this one is no exception!
