I try to get the girls involved as much as I can, they do like to make their own cards, it is easier now because they are on holidays, hopefully the weather won't change, but if it does I might get them to start making their Christmas cards, that might keep them quite for a few days........or maybe not???
This is my card
I have used an Anna Griffin pack, that Steve's mum sent me. It is such a lovely pack, I use it only for special occasions.I tried to scan in the paper and toppers before I cut them and used them, unfortunately the pink stripy paper didn't scan and I didn't notice until I went to do this post. I cut strips of the pink paper to make the criss-cross design. I then traced around a 2p to get the circles and punched little hearts all from the pink paper.
I then cut out the roses and the greeting, inked the edges with colorbox Old Rose cat's eye.
I punched the a hole in the greeting, and added a ribbon.
I stuck everything down unto the red design card, I used foam pads under the roses to give the card some definition.
This is the front of Aimee's Card

This is Chloe's card
The girls have a shoebox that I fill up for them, they can take what they want from the box and I won't start freaking out that they are near MY PRECIOUS STASH. If I see something that they might use I will get and put it into the box for them. I also put a lot freebies from the many magazines that I get into the box too!!
