Card swap catch up....

Thank goodness...I was beginning to think I hadn't taken a photo of this card to post!! This was the A&B card swap effort for last week. I really love the pink/cocoa colour combination and the new Berry Bliss dsp in the new SU catalogue is just gorgeous.

I really like how this card turned out, I think I CASEd someone from Splitcoast but not sure who it was...sorry!! Having said that I might even try this design out with some of the other fabulous ds papers from the catty and see what happens xoxoxo

Stay tuned!! Thanks for looking xoxoxo

Another Card swap

This was the card I made for my beautiful friends Ally and Bronny for our weekly card swap. I think this one was sent at the end of May and was CASEd from the wonderful Alisa Tilsner's blog. I really love the delicate images in the 'Artfully Asian' set and it has such versatility. I will have to have more of a play round and see what come up with. Need to practise my sponging/daubering too!!! Lol!

Thanks for looking xoxoxo

Happy Birthday Bronny!!

This is the 'All Purpose' box and card I made for my very special friend Bronny for her birthday. I put some of the new Dove individually wrapped choccies inside just to spoil her.

Thought I had better make the card to match because I just love these Heidi Grace papers and haven't used them for a while.

Glad you liked your pressie Bron!! xoxoxo

Gift boxes for Nieces

I love how these gift boxes turned out...they are so easy to put together and decorate using the fabulous Kaisercraft storage crate kits and painted wood figures from Spotlight. It takes a little time to paint the pieces but once that is done its all about the decorating....which is the fun part. The girls both seemed to like them too which is a bonus!!!

Thanks for looking xoxoxo

More birthdays!!

This card I made this morning for our niece Elizabeth who will be 8 next week...I have CASEd a card I made with the lovely Bronny a few weeks ago and got to play with my new oval punch - woo hoo!!! Sorry, I am easily excited when it comes to card toys!!!

Happy birthday Lily xoxoxo

Our other niece Natalie had her 2nd birthday a week or so ago so this is the card I made for her this morning....very pink and girly to go with the Dorothy the Dinosaur tracksuit we bought her.

Happy birthday Natalie xoxoxo

I have also made the girls a storage crate each for their bits and pieces using the fabbo Kaisercraft kits from Spotlight...will post them later (best be off to take a photo before I give them away, hey!!) hence the colour schemes for the cards!!

Thanks for looking xoxoxo

Happy Birthday Brendan!!

It was our nephew's birthday on Tuesday and I made this card for him using a sample of the new SU Outlaw DSP...came together fairly easily thankfully!!! I used Earth Elements markers to tizzy up the cake and make things a bit more masculine.

Happy Birthday Bren xoxoxo

Happy Birthday Amy xoxo

These are the birthday cards I made for my 'Belle' for her 7th birthday. The first was inspired by a card Ally made for Nigel for his birthday - made girly of course!! - and the last was inspired by a beautiful card Marelle Taylor's daughter made and posted on her Mum's blog. I did however use a different stamp set.

We had a lovely afternoon tea party for her with a riotous group of school friends and family...there was no need for party games as the kids entertained themselves pretty much - not hard on a Friday afternoon really!!! A good time was had by all.

cheers xoxox
