Forever Older

One of my bestest buds, Kelly, has a birthday on Friday. I used my Forever Friends Black and Gold CD-ROM to make this.

I used opalescent A4 card folded to make an A5 card, and then printed some backing papers, ribbons and embellishments.

The large images were altered by placing foam pads behind the frame and sitting it over the top of the image below to give a photo effect.

I printed the insert on the PC and personalised it with her name.

Happy Birthday my lovely - see you down here in May x

Black and Gold Forever Friends

Firstly - I must apologise to Yvonne for not posting this sooner - she told me off LOL

This is my first attempt at using my Forever Friends Black and Gold Limited Edition CD-ROM.

I know that some people have had an issue with the compatibility of the disc with their computer software, but I have to say, that once I managed to install the software for the disc onto my laptop, I have had no issues and have found it a wonderful disc to use.

The screen layout allows you to place everything on your virtual card to see how it will look, before you commit to printing anything and wasting ink unecessarily.

As I only received the disc a couple of days before Denise's birthday, I had to familiarise myself with it quite quickly, and as you can see, didn't do too badly, I don't think.

I used the Do-Crafts recycled card blanks in a 13.5x13.5 square, and folded the front cover in half to create an easel card, before covering in the backing papers and toppers that I printed from the disc. I also printed extra toppers so that I could decoupage them.

The frames on the disc made a great sentiment box, and were the support to hold the front of the easel in position.

Happy Birthday Denise x
