Pretty In Pink Birthday

WOW!! Christmas is almost here.
Who's gettting excited? I am, but not as much as the kids.
My daughters were invited to an Ice Skating Party earlier this month and my 6 year old son was
fortunate to join in. It was his first ever time Ice Skating and he loved it. Dad says he was so
proud of him.
The Birthday Girl is turning 9 and here is her card.

Now I did say this was pink and actually the colours are Melon Mambo, Pretty In Pink and Whisper White.
Just added some ribbon and bling to make it really girlie.
The background is the DSP Flirtatious and the doilie is from the same papers.
Well that's it from me until after Christmas.
Hope you all enjoy the festivities and stay safe.

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?

Happy Weekend everyone!!!
Time is flying by and before we know it Christmas will have been a gone.

What I am showing you today is a very easy card to make.

First of all with the Lucky Limeade ink onto the Lucky Limeade cardstock I used a stamp from Delightful Decorations and randomly stamped the card.

I used the Impressions "Stripes" folder on the Whisper White cardstock, tied it with Soft Suede dotted ribbon.(Retired).

From the Flirtatious DSP, I cut out a dolie and circle punched the centre.

Now if you have your new Mini Catti you will notice I have used the new Glimmer Paper in Silver #124005 $8.95.You get 2x 12x12 sheets. It also comes in Red. I absolutley love it and will notice with future posts.

If you haven't got a copy please email me and I'll send one out to you.(Australian Residents Only)

For the Christmas Trees I used the Pennant Parade stamp set and punched it out with the co ordinating punch Petite Pennants Builder.

To finish it off I stamped Merry Christmas from the Comtempo Christmas stamp set in Soft Suede and put it through the Big Shot using Lots Of Tags.

The tag was placed onto of another tag-Decorative Label.

And there you have it. I given a couple of these to special people in my life, so enjoy.

Until next time blog followers.

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.

Desk Calendar for 2012

Hello and long time no see from me.
Life has been hectic, as hubby had to have an op 4 weeks ago and I'm doing his
job for the  meantime, so no time for crafting.
I thought I'd show you something I created alittle while ago and ready to use next year.

I made this for my daughter and for that reason I made the owl into a girl also. See the little bow?

All I did was make a hollow box to slide the draw into and then stuck an Easel card on top.

The DSP is from the Retired Nursery Suite and the colour pallet is Rose Red and So Saffron.

As I have twin girls as soon as this was made I just had to make another one for her,

so when I can find a quick moment I will show you hers.

Thanks for stopping by.

A Special Windmill Thank You!!!

My son had his birthday last month and a special card had to be made.
To do something different I made a windmill with the new DSP Just Add Cake ,#124339, $18.95.
I included some chipboard On Board clouds and sponged them in Whisper White.

From the same papers I punched out his name.
I punched with the scalloped trim edge some grass also to make it look like someone is outside with their Windmill.
The colour pallet is So Saffron, Poppy Parade, Baja Breeze and Whisper White.
Needless to say he loved his card from mum and had a great day.
As he was spoilt by many we decided to make Thank You cards.

Using the retired Nursery Suite Speciality papers to help go with the fishy scene for our cards.
The colours are Baja Breeze, Pear Pizzazz and Old Olive.
The card size were 4x4.
Well I hope you enjoyed today's post and your weekend was a great one.
