Boy birthday bugs

At long last here is a card from my Open House. This card has inspiration taken from the fabulous Mrs Wonka, who did a card a bit like this but her bugs were ladybirds. The other inspiration was a post on Andrea Walford's site.
The bug bodies are made from punched circles of Sweet Pea designer paper. Love that stack! The bug bodies are made from the word window punch and the small circle punches. The leaves come from the bird two-step punch. The magnifying glass contains Smarties mini eggs as they had the funkiest colours. The stamp set for the maginifying glass handle is from Something Sweet.
The tab has been punched out and the sentiment comes from the Fun & Fast Notes set.
TIP: Do not place a chocolate filled card in the sunshine! The poor little eggs on this card cracked from the heat!!
Hope you are outside plenty and enjoying the sunshine.

Open House Success!

Today I held my first Open House event, which I am pleased to report was really successful. The photos on this post show you the cards everyone made. I've had lots of interest in the classes I've arranged (details on those to follow), a booking for another party and some sales which is great since the wedding and house move are now both less than 6 weeks away!

I met some lovely people who I hope to see again and I'm back into the crafting 'groove'!!
