Cuties!

Here are some quick and easy cards using the Morehead Papercrafting Collection CD from Crafters Companion. I printed out some shaped cards, backing papers and sentiments, punched out one edge from each of the backing papers and attached inside the card and then added a ribbon to each, and gems and pearls on a couple.

Engaged!

An engagement card for my friends son and girlfriend, they always put six red kisses in all their cards, and he surprised her with the proposal and presented her with an Haribo Jelly ring, until they could go out and buy the real thing, so I decided to incorporate it into the card.

I also made the same card (without the personalisation and jelly ring) as a sample for Mei.

The Jelly ring is in an acetate envelope.
