Minecraft Fan.

Happy Birthday to my 2nd son, 11 years old today and a Hugh minecraft fan. This card was so easy I don't know why it's taken so long to create one of these cards!

The Elves are working hard

The little elves are flat out at the moment making all the gifts for Santa to deliver. I have seen these all over the Internet so had to have a turn too.

Happy Hallowe'en

Although we don't celebrate this in our house, I do like to make we treats for my kids. This year instead of lollies I found this idea on Pintrest, using cheese balls so these could go into my kids lunch boxes today

Gift bag and matching card

These bags are about the internet in small and smaller sizes to fit in wee chocolate treats but this time I needed a larger sized gift bag. It's still made from a 12 x 12 piece of cardstock. I let the DSP be my colour choice and !!.... mixing crisp cantaloupe in with cherry cobbler is not where I would have gone. This paper is from the Trim the Tree DSP stack in the mini catalogue. I made a colour matched card from a card sketch online at the moment . I love these little flowers made from small scallop circles, screwed up then wetted. Happy Birthday Star.

The 'celebrate' sentiment is from the good greetings stamp set that is avaliable free for a limited time.

Ladies purse.

I have a bridal shower to go to this afternoon so wanted to take a wee treat for the bride to be. This is one of my Pinterest pins, ( finally I made one ! ). It's made from a 12x12 piece of  modern Medley DSP. 

So pretty!

I had an order for a wedding card for a friend, and happen to know the 'bride to be' 's favourite colour is pink! So I made this card based on a card we made at a team training many moons ago. I have used different colours but mostly it's the same card. An un- usual colour combo pink and gold but I think it works well. And I love the gold and silver bakers twine in the mini catalogue. Just $7.25.

A Beautiful day to celebrate

Mothers. This is a quite gift I put together for my mum because we are heading over to spend the day with her shortly. The kraft boxes and spiral flower die make such quick presents. Have a lovely Day to all the mums out there.

Take home bunny boxes

From earlier post I said my daughter has just had her birthday and because it was on Easter Friday I decided to bunny theme some of the bits. Because of it being the holidays there were only two little girls coming so I made these cute little treat boxes as there wee take home thing with all there bits and pieces. There are plenty of designs of these around the internet so I just used the bits I had. They were very well received .

Happy Easter

Are these not the cutest wee bunnies around! Cased from a friend and made with the Bow Die and lots and lots of M & M's, these are Easter treats for my kids and a friends kids! I'm sure she is reading this. They won't make it in time for Easter but at least you can see what is coming your way Stella :).

Wish Big !

My son has a birthday party to go to this afternoon and of course I left the card making to the last minute, although I had the plan in my head and for a change it came right out of my head as a imagined. Love it when a plan comes together. We had bought movie vouchers for a present so hench the popcorn on the card. The red and white striped box has a 3D effect to it and all the popcorn pieces have been sponged with daffodil delight to coat them in butter. Yummy!

For a princess

My friend and I have been busy this afternoon creating invitations for her daughters 6th birthday. The idea has come from Pintrest and then away we went. Bit of tulle here and some stamping there. And a few punches here and there. We made 12 all up. We are pleased with the outcome just gotta win the approval of the six year old to be!!

Christmas Tags

People are starting to mention Christmas already - does that scare you? While blog surfing today I came across the awesome blog of Becky Roberts. She had a Halloween item on her blog that I thought sought be great for Christmas. with a colour change of course and different stamps I made three sets of these Christmas tags in no time at all. Becky provides all the measurement you need. Everything I have used is retired here but this project can be changed in so many ways to what you have. 

Stop, wait......

Stop, wait, cross now please. I hear these words on a daily basis when I walk my kids to school. My middle child takes this responsibility very seriously so I thought I had better scrap this major in his life at this time. I had the page planned in my head for quite some time and I think it feel together well. There are a few items from 'other' places but never mind...

Lego Invitations

I have seen all the Lego party stuff around on the Internet and would loved to have done one for my boys but I think they are a bit to old for it now although they both still love to play with their lego. So I have a friend whose little boy will turn for soon so we convinced him to have a lego party lol! So here are the invites I made. Very simple, but they look cool en mass.

Summer memories

This was a page I did back when it still felt like summer! Using sale-a-ration free papers, the colors in the papers made it even feel warmer, This picture was taken of my kids on Christmas Day, what a great place to spend the day.

What a hoot!

Here is another Pinterest find, clever present wrapping. My daughter has another birthday party to go to today just down the road. I thought this was a real fun way to gift wrap a present.

Secret Santa Treats

My oldest boy had his last day at school on Friday and wanted to take in some treats to give a few friends and some teachers, we had made some fudge earlier in the week and boxed up a couple of packages but I forgot to photograph those but we had also bought some candy canes and as a last minute (he reminded me that they needed to go to school on Thursday morning) gift so 20 minutes before he walked out the door we managed to whip these up. The big shot and my very new petit pocket die made short work of them.

40 Sucks!!

These sorts of things are all around Pintrest at the moment, so I thought I would make up one for my little brother for his birthday yesterday.It's a jar with 40 lollipops in it and decorated.

Peek-a-Boo

This is one of those ideas that has been around for quite some time but I have only just got to make one. This was one of the line up for Fathers Day cards at my $3 cards a week or so ago.  I bought that cute little owl punch when it first came out but have never made an owl with it until this card!!! And now I think I shall be making many more.....

Pretty party Dresses

Isn't this cute. Oh the possibilities for these cards. This was an idea I saw on Pintrest.   Here is the website with fantastic instructions to make the dress. I have dyed my ribbon to suit my paper and as I noticed after I photographed the card the ribbon was not quite dry so it leeched into the doily.(note to self - more patience is needed) I found my doilies at the supermarket. It is just a bit over 4 inches across. I think I mite use these for my little girls next party invites, but in purple of course.
