Hubby's 40th - Card & Cake

 My hubby turned 40 recently and asked for a guitar for his birthday as he had always wanted to learn one.  We found a lovely blue left-handed one so I knew I had to make a card to match!  I used the beautiful card here for my inspiration.  I used a needle and thread to make the strings, and the black patch next to the "hole" is the wing from the XL Bird Punch.

Just wanted to share too, here's the cake I made for him to match his guitar as well.

 

I got my inspiration from here for this project.  Of course the cake was a hit too!

A Cloudy Pinwheel Layout

 Here's the double layout which matches my last post with much of the same product.

 

It came together really quick, am just loving those little pinwheels!  I also had a play with my new Simply Scored Borders Scoring Plate with a little embossing around the edge of each page.

A Cloudy Pinwheel Card

A friend of mine turned 50 recently so it was time to have a play with some new product and make her a pretty card!

 The new pinwheel die is a little fiddly to start with but gets easier the more you do.  It's only $10.95 which is a fantastic price too!

I'm currently working on a double scrapbook layout with the same products so will share that soon.  Inspiration for this card came from here.  The Designer Series Paper and ribbon are from the Sale-a-bration catalogue so are only available until 22 March so get your orders in quick!
