Another Centre Step card

I shared a few days ago the card I made for Neville's 80th & I'm sharing an even more special card given to me by a fellow demonstrator when we swapped cards at the Creative Inkers stamp camp recently in Rotorua. It's an absolute fab, fun card and another masculine one. Little did I know when I received this card that the demo that swapped with me would die unexpectedly a week later. This has been a huge shock for those that knew her personally and even for myself who had just meet her it also makes you realise how precious life is, so I'm actually thrilled in someways to have something that Janice McConnell made and happy to share what a talented card maker she was.

Life is all a bit surreal at the moment with life as we know it changing so rapidly with COVID19 so being able to take some time out for oneself each day is a blessing & hopefully some of my KReations will give the recipients as much pleasure as Janice's card does to me.

Happy 80th Birthday Neville

It was my friend & neighbour Neville's 80th birthday last week so I had just the perfect card for him saved in my stash.

Neville was a keen sailor & I felt the saying on the card was perfect as he's about to move to the next phase of his life; moving to a retirement village later this year.

This card was taught to me at a Creative Inkers Extravaganza event in 2019 by Rachael Knight, Heather Stewart & Christine Gedye. It was one of my favs on the day as it is always nice to have a few masculine cards in our stash.

This is a Centre Step card & if you've never made one before there is a very cool tutorial on SplitCoastStampers which you can view if you click HERE.

Stamps: Sailing Away
Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Balmy Blue, Sahara Sand, Night of Navy, Soft Suede, Mossy Meadow

Well Neville had a fun afternoon surrounded by family & friends & I certainly hope the direction his life is taking him this year leads to much happiness.
