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

Mother's Day treasures

These are the beautiful things my daughter Amy made and bought at school for Mother's Day. On the left is the card she made and the gorgeous pot plant all the kids created for their Mum. On the right are her purchases from the school's Mother's Day stall - bowl of Rocky Road always a crowd pleaser!!!

Here is a close-up of the fabulous pot plant, sad to say not looking quite so healthy now but the planter will live on!!
