Happy 1st Birthday!

My very best friend Jodie, has a little boy named "Joshua" who had his "1st Birthday" a few weeks ago, and this was the card I created for him...very simple card to create, and the red and blue for a little boy is such perfect colours I think!...

Project Recipe: (All Stampin' Up!)
Stamp Sets: Nursery Necessities and Big Deal Alphabet.
Ink: Real Red, Pacific Point and Baja Breeze.
Card: Pacific Point, Real Red, Baja Breeze, and Whisper White
Other: Pacific Point ribbon, Eyelet border punch and sponge daubers.

Something other than cards..

A little while ago I made some off the page projects I would like to share with you.

My dear friend Gemma's birthday was a few month's ago and I made her a canvas with her initial "G" on it, and a matching little purse/box. This project was created from our Simply Scrappin kit "Sweet Nothings" which I love very much as it is so pretty and elegant. These Scrappin kits make any project or card making so easy as the kit is created to all co-ordinate with each other, and they include all the papers and self adhesive die cuts you could possibly need...


(Sorry it is a shocking photo taken of it!!...lol)

One of my favourite Stampin' Up! designer series papers this year happens to be the "Raspberry Tart" collection, which the next two projects have been used with. The first project is a simple soup tin turned into a pretty tin for my pens/scissors to sit in on my desk.

and the next one is a box (not to sure what to put in it yet!) made to personalise me, as it has my initial on the front of it, and I used chipboard for the letter "B" and covered it with the DSP. These two projects sit next to each other on my craft table and look great together, as this paper range to me is bright and happy!.

Hope you like my creations above...sorry about the quality of the photos but that is not my strong point photography!!!

Well, another post in a few days, not doing to too bad so far...I am trying to make up for lost time...lol...

Thankyou!

As you can see this is my first post in such a long time!!.

I really have no excuse as to why I have not been around, as I am still an active Demonstrator and love it still more than ever, but I just wanted to say a BIG thank you to all my customers, friends, and Stampin' Up! demonstrators/friends who have supported me since my blog has been created. Even though I have not posted on here in a while I have still had so many visitors stop by, so I am forever grateful you have not given up on me!. I want to say a BIG "thanks" and "hello" to a couple of people in particular who have always given me the encouragement and inspiration needed to keep on going and they are "Karen Robinson", "Pam Godfrey" and most of all my upline "Melissa Garland" who is always there for us when we need her. I came away last night from our Team Meeting feeling inspired to update my blog and to get back into the swing of things, and to not be so slack in the future!

I hear alot of you saying now, OMG she has finally updated it after so long, so please leave me some comments along the way to keep me going on, and to give me a reason to update!...lol.....Thanks again everyone...Mwah!!

After that big long post above, I will leave you with a card that I recently created for my brother in laws birthday, just to get the ball rolling again with my creations and regular updates....

Last Chance....

Here is a creation I did a while back and suddenly realised that if I don't post it tonight I will not be able to show....lol....as it has been used with my favourite set from the Spring mini " Season of Joy"....I have so many other cards I have created lately using sets and products from this mini that I have not got around to posting, which is sad, as I would have loved to have shared with you all, but I simply ran out of time....


I hope you enjoyed this mini as much as I have, as it has been by far my favourite mini yet!....although the Summer mini is just as good.....I hope you enjoy the new one with me to....check it out tomorrow...1st December it is officially released....

Notes Anyone!

Here is a note pad I have created that has a magnet on it to stick to your fridge, or to just hang anywhere!...I have mine stuck up on my wall in my Stamp room.

I have used our Simply Scrappin Kit - Secret Garden. These scrap kits are great as all of the papers/stickers and colours co-ordinate with each other perfectly and makes your creating side of things a breeze!
