Happy Birthday Koala

Hello Friends,

Thank you for stopping by for a visit ;)

Today I'm sharing a card I made for Sparkle N Sprinkle and I have used Birthday Cassie.

You can also purchase the full set available here called Cassie's Adventures.

I coloured him with copics and then added some green flock for the grass which can also be purchased here.

The window was cut using Rectangle nesties and the Happy Birthday embossing was made using a cuttlebug embossing folder. 

Hugs

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year All!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and would like to wish each and every one of my special visitors a very happy, healthy & prosperous 2011!

Well now the festivities are over I can officially say that this baby is due this year....... phew! Only 10 weeks to go and boy am I ready. I'm planning on lot's of crafting before March and lot's of rest. I found out the Friday before Christmas that I have an 'Inguinal Hernia'. I noticed a swelling in my lower left side of my groin and was finding it extremely difficult to put any pressure on my left side. This is so uncomfortable being 7mths pregnant as I can't even get comfortable in bed. The Consultant told me there is not much that can be done until after baby is born.

Anyway on to my 1st creation of 2011 it's a simple birthday card using just my nesties and Designer paper.

I was lucky enough to receive 4 sets of new nesties and Labels 17 was one of them. I love this shaped card and know I will be using it for more. One of my resolutions is to be more organised with birthday cards so I went straight in for the kill. I also intend to use up stash, and to complete my cards with inserts and envelopes. 

I would also like to thank Regina Easter from The Cutting Cafe' for very kindly allowing me to be part of the team from the very beginning. You will still see me using all the fabulous sets I have and I would love to join the team again in the future ;0)

Happy Birthday Son & Brother

Hi Everyone,

I hope you have all had a wonderful weekend soaking up the sun!  We have had barbecues all weekend! Today it's my son's 12th birthday I really can't believe  he will be a  teenager next year!!!

Here are the 2 card I have made one from Ryan and me and the other from Harvey.

For this card I have used 'Ben' available from InStyle Stamps  and you will receive a 5% discount if you use this link ;0)
Owen is a serious gamer and  Ben reminds me of him so much with his hairstyle and big hazel eyes so I knew this would be the perfect image.

Also Regina over at The Cutting Cafe' has designed some fab new birthday sets and here I have used 'Celebration frames' and also 'Celebration circles' and  added the 12 candle image from the 'Birthday Candle set'.

For my next card from Harvey I have just cut out some stars using my nestabilities and added a circle sentiment using the 'Celebration Circles' and

added the Brother text myself.

 Hugs

Bugalicious & Giveaway

Happy Saturday Everyone,

I'm here today to show you cards I have made using a couple of really cute sets from  'The Cutting Cafe'!

 I decided to make some little shaped cards from my Nestabilities and I think the turned out really cute.

  For this snail card I used 'Cute Critters' and also 'Assorted Bug Circle words' . 

I inked around the circle with my dusty concord distress ink and added a bit of bling to the snail and used my gel pen to add my favourite dots on her shell.

 This card was made using ''Assorted Bug Circle words'.

I made the card using my 'Blossom' nesties and made the circle sentiment 2.5" x2.5" to fit inside my circle nestie. I cut out and coloured the little ladybird and again added my favourite white dots on her body and inked around the circle using 'Barn Door' distress ink.

 Now Regina has kindly allowed the DT members to choose a set to give away so if you would like to win the fabulously 'Cute Critters' set as seen below all you need to do is leave me a message in this post and tell me which is your favourite 'Bug' and please let everyone know about this gicveaway in your sidebar. As you can see it is an enormous set and you can use these cute little critters for just about anything.

 If you are anything like me I can't stand anything creepy crawly like however if they really looked like these adorable images then I would love them!

I will pick a winner on Wednesday the 12th of May  so please check back to see if you are the lucky winner ;0)
I would like to wish all you Mom's in the US a very wonderful day tomorrow x

Strawberry Kisses

Hi Everyone,

Not been blogging for a while but I am now up and ready to craft again!!

I did this card this morning using the cupcake image from scrapnfonts ( which I love)!!!

I used a 5 x 7" card and the paper is from the gorgeous new collection 'Nanas Nursery Girl' from DCWV. I cut the green flourish from Accent essentials at 3.3/4" and then added the cupcake image which I printed 3 times and layered. I added some skittles and a couple of embelishments.

Paper & buttons both available from http://www.dottydocrafts.com/

I have also learnt how to share cut files so I will go through my blog and add the link to each project using DS.

Birthday Bear

This card was made for my mil b'day. I am addicted to stamping again. I seem to have fads with it , once I do one I want to do another because I find it so thearaputic colouring in the images.
