Here we go again!..........

I'm posting tonight from my Mum's place in Stafford. It looks like we are having a repeat of the chaos we endured last Winter! We've had some snow flurries here, but my brother who lives in Tunstall, Stoke-On-Trent, is snowed in!!! The M6 is in trouble, idiots are driving in dreadful conditions AND USING THEIR MOBILES AT THE SAME TIME! PUT THEM DOWN YOU MORONS!! Give me strength! What does it take to get through to these people? Anyhow I'm keeping an eye on the weather, and I may have to hightail it home early!
Well, onto today's cards. I was commissioned to make these cards by one of hubby's secretaries for her twin daughters' 21st birthdays.
The pink card, for Sophie is A4 in size and I used paper from the DCWV Mango Frost 12x12 stack. I kept the layout simple ( I always do for commission cards) and simply added a punched border bearing the name and a gorgeous frame which holds the '21'. I finished the card with some hot pink ribbon, a Prima bloom and a smattering of pearls.

Jade's card (also A4) was also made with Mango Frost papers, with the addition of a couple of swirls, some butterflies, white satin ribbon, pearls and Prima fabric bloom.
