For my grand daughter's birth....

Just a quick card I made up to give to my granddaughter at the hospital, the day she was born.

Wedding Cupcakes and bouquet....

The Wedding Cake(s)







Oh these were so delicious........white mud cakes, with white chocolate icing and white chocolate love hearts. The stand is from IKEA and it is a keep sake from my mum.















Just a peek at my bouquet. It was made of artificial flowers, although so many people were shocked to find they weren't real. Due to the heat, I was told it is advisable to have artifical. I made it up myself too :)

Wedding wine and lanterns....

The Wine Thank You's





Sorry no stamping here.............................................................
These are the thank you gifts for our guests. The label is a photo that I took on our trip to Hawaii in 2006 - hence the frangipani theme for the wedding! I was so very happy with how these turned out.






The Wedding Decorations





These were placed on the tables - all six of them. We will use them again to put on our table outside when we entertain with a BBQ.....

Papertrey Petal Cones....

I made these petal cones and of course stamped Papertrey flourishes all over them. They are just white printer paper. The freeze dried petals were used to decorate the tables at my daughter's January wedding and now used at mine as scatters when we were announced as "husband & wife".












Here they are in their basket waiting for my neice-in-law to give them out to the ladies on the day...

more wedding stuff......

The Children's Placecards





We had a very small wedding and allowed children and allowed children - so I made the four
of them feel special with these placecards.







The Children's Favour Boxes





These are the "box in a bags" I made as the favour boxes for the four children....I put yellow 'candy' bananas in them.

My Papertrey Wedding......part 2

The Placecards




These follow the 'tropical' theme. I used Papertrey Spring Moss cardstock and a buttery yellow paper that I had. I used Spring Moss ink to stamp the flourish above the guest's name. Tied the top with tulle and attached a mini frangipani....




The Favour Boxes




I used the Papertrey "My Timeless Templates" - Tucked Away. I was so happy to find that I could put the 'flap' part in my cuttlebug and emboss just that part. Again I had hoped to layer with Papertrey cardstock, but time didn't allow. These had chocolates inside and I also put a scratch lottery ticket too.....

My Papertrey Wedding......

The Invitation


I have shown this before, but I thought it would look nice putting all the wedding things together.

I used Papertrey Spring Moss and "Celebrate Today" stamp. I would have loved to have used heaps more Papertrey, but I had to plan the whole wedding in less than 2 months, so these were it!

Mother's Day Cards...

This is a card I made twice, one for my mum and another for my mother-in-law for Mother's Day. I used Coredinations Cardstock for the first time, ran it through my cuttlebug and then lightly sanded - loved the look, but a little disappointed it didn't match the gorgeous background paper a bit better.

Birthday Card....

Made this card for my mother's in law's birthday recently....just love the colour scheme and was pleased with the copic colouring I managed to do on the Papertrey Autumn Abundance stamp.
