Whale-y great day

 Here, as promised, is the card made with Sunshine & Sprinkles DSP. A large punch cut out an image and then mounted it onto glimmer paper and used Wacky Words to compliment the whimsy-feel of the card.

For the Munchkin fans:

 Here is Munckin visiting Wisley gardens a few weeks ago with my Dad.

 I'm guessing he took the first two photos. There were a number of photos that appeared that munchkin herself must have taken! Below are my two favourites:

Cuuuuute

A while back I went to my lovely friend Amy's baby shower. It was a HUGE party with over 30 guests and although I wasn't able to stay long I had a great time.

I was thrilled to receive this thank you card made by Amy for the candle I gave her to focus on during the early stages of labour. It's got some Big Shot embossing and the cute baby comes from the set All in the Family. The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and was punched out with the Word Window punch.

Here is the candle I made as a gift:

It's a plain church candle and I've stamped baby foot prints and a sentiment from the baby set in the Summer Mini 2012 onto white tissue paper. The tissue paper was then attached to the candle using heat from my heat gun. Simple!

To finish I wrapped it in cellophane and added some bows and a label (that's hard to see in this photo). The label was made from parchment paper that was punched and embossed with white onto Baja Breeze card.

Apologies for the rubbish photo! I forgot all about taking a photo until I was just about to dash from the scrapbooking day I was demonstrating at to the party!! I feel glad to have taken a photo at all.

Happy Birthday Natalie

Today is my lovely upline Natalie's birthday! I hope she doesn't mind me spilling the beans about her milestone birthday. I made this card inspired by one I saw on SplitCoast Stampers by Mary Brown.

The base is Lucky Limeade with Basic Grey mats. The strip of patterned paper is from Twitterpated, which you'll find in the Summer Mini catalogue. Gosh I love this paper set. It's kind of filled the gap left by the lovely Sale-a-bration papers we had earlier in the year.

The Big Shot had some good use in this cut with die cutting shapes and numbers plus dry embossing the Whisper White panel with Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder. There is also heat embossing for the birthday greeting that was embossed in white.

I hope she has a great birthday!!!

3 years of bliss

Apologies for the soppy title. I guess I'm a romantic when it comes to my lovely husband! Yesterday we celebrated three years of married life. Here's the card I whipped up:



There's a Poppy Parade base and it's combined with More Mustard and Pear Pizzazz. The greeting come from Teeny Tiny Wishes and punched with the Word Window punch.

The two figures are meant to be me and hubs. Not the most flattering interpretation but they made us both giggle. I didn't quite get us to scale so I look like a child next to him, which is a bit unfortunate! I'm a particular fan of his More Mustard trousers!!!!

We went to see the Terry clan yesterday which was nice. Other than that it was just a regular say... Hopefully we will get a chance to do Something special soon!

My Baby is One!

Yesterday was Immy's first birthday. I really cannot believe a whole year has passed! Unfortunately DH and I both had to work so we didn't see the Munchkin much but we thoroughly enjoyed every minute in her company. She's soooo much fun nowadays.

This is the card that I made for my lil one. It's Elegant Eggplant, Rose Red, Wild Wasabi and Certainly Celery. A bit Halloween-y, but I guess it is the season for it. My Just Perfect Alphabet helped me to make a personalised message, which I punched out with a 3/4" circle punch.

The darling was given a huge array of pretty presents and I wanted to send out thank yous asap. I used my All in the Family set to make a little picture of Immy! I stamped in Basic Black and then coloured it in with my In Color markers in Peach Parfait, Poppy Parade, Conchord Crush and Blushing Bride (cheeks).

I'm in love with my new sentiment set, Curly Cute, and got stamping in White Craft ink for a simple greeting. The fantastic thing about this card is that I get 4 from each A4 sheet of Poppy Parade card. I just cut 3" chunks off width-ways to make tent fold cards. Easy peasy.
