Happy Birthday Nanna

Hello fellow readers and welcome to my latest post.
This week my dear old Nanna turned 88 yrs of age.
I wanted to do a card of the colours she enjoys and this is what I came up with.

I have copied from a previous post of the same lay out.
I of course added Spice Cake DSP to the mix and used Array Of Sunshine Stamp set for the background.
She absolutely loved it I'm pleased to say.
With this card you can see a lot of layering.
On the Pool Party card stock I used the Stripes embossed folder.
I also cut out the stamped flower and attached it with a heart brad (Non SU) through 3 pieces of card in the center.
The stamped Happy Birthday is from Perfectly Penned in More Mustard.
I'm glad you popped by and I'm sure I'll have more to talk about.

Another Birthday To Be Had & Happy 2012

Happy New Year to all of you.
I hope you had a safe and happy time bringing in the New Year.
Today I want to show you a birthday card I made for my daughters friend.
I got my inspiration from Kirsty Brown and I fell in love with these colours so I just had to case it.
I have twicked it alittle to put my own little touches on it.

The colours I used were Melon Mambo, Lucky Limeade, Pretty In Pink and Very Vanilla.
As you can see this is a layering card and at last I got to use my new glitter brad for the centre
of my flower.
So let me know what you think.
Thanks for stopping by.

A Cheery Get Well

 Hi there fellow readers.
I am posting a card I made a little while ago for someone who lives far, but never far away in our thoughts.
I do like to keep things bright if I can and using Concord Crush, Pumpkin Pie and Melon Mambo
surely would live up to it's name.

I'm loving the Flirtatious DSP doilies as you may have noticed and introduced again in this card.

The Lattice embossing folder was used after stamping the doilies.

So I think this would cheer up anyones day if they were not well.

What do you think?

Christmas Birthday Party

Happy Monday to you.
Over the weekend I had the pleasure of doing a young ladies 11th birthday party.
I had been asked last year and as it was a hit then, I was really happy to be asked again.
The theme was to be Christmas and I took the opportunity to use something new
which you will see for yourself when the new Summer Catti goes live on Thurs 1st Dec.
So here is a sneak preview.

There is a new Die and Glitter Paper which comes in 12x12 sheets of two.
I love the combo of the Pool Party, Silver and Whisper White together, very non traditional Christmas colours. I used a Doilie from the Flirtatious DSP and threaded the matching Pool Party ribbon through it.
I then stuck silver glass glitter onto the edges and finshed it off with Rhinestone brad.
Well we all had lots of fun making our own to place treats inside.
Always a winner when you can make something yourself to reuse and place on the tree.
Thanks for stopping by.

Poppy's Birthday

This month, a relative of ours has a special birthday, as it falls on Poppy Day
and for that reason she was named Poppy.
I had a play with the new Hostess set Array Of Sunshine and mixed it with the new DSP Flirtatious.
I also used Wisteria Wonder, Lucky Lemonade, Concord Crush inks which are this years and

and last years In Colours. The " Happy Birthday" comes from the Perfectly Penned stamp set.

I do love these colours together and enjoyed making this card.

I hope you like seeing my creations and feel free to leave a comment.
