Baby shower continued......

Baby Favour number #2. Box in a Bag. Oh I had a ball making these, although they were time consuming.


















This shows a few of the 20 I made and filled with marshmallows - pink and white of course!










Close up of the little cupcake tag and the tabs that help hold the ribbon as a closure.

Baby shower for "cupcake"

Well my daughter's expecting a daughter
on April 20th and her nickname is 'cupcake'
so that of course was my theme. I put white flower soft 'for icing and then put 'crystal' stickles on top...don't know if I was imagining, but it seemed to 'puff ' up which made it look even better. Was funny, kept telling my fiance...I'm busy icing cupcakes :)










Here are the pictures of 1 of the 2 favours I made for each guest. Sadly I made 20 of each and only 11 guests turned up...so quite a few left overs












I put 3 Ferrero Rocher wrapped in pink tissue paper and popped in a clear bag and stapled the topper to it.

Oh I was so so happy with the end result!

Another post to follow.....

My Copic Storage Solution.....

There have been many ways shown for Copic storage, but most of them are not available or too expensive for me here in Australia.....so I improvised. I bought this cute cane basket.









This photo shows how I divided it with cardboard, making individual colour sections. I have just used cardboard from cereal boxes, but hope to use some heavy recyled cardboard later..... Hope this idea might be useful for someone else????

Special Friend Birthday Wishes

This was a pleasure to make for a very special girlfriend of mine. I used pattern paper I had at the time, but hope to use the new Papertrey patterned papers that have come out over the last few months to recreated this. Oh looking forward to Papertrey releasing a new 'die' to cut these blooms, they make gorgeous layered flowers, but they are a pain to cut out each time.

A New Home Sweet Home......

I made this for a friend new home that she moved into last year. I gave her a candle set too with matching paper - yet again I forgot to take a photo of it.

Forgot to post this one. A Papertrey card I made for one of my mother's birthdays. The base has a hole cut out and vellum inserted, then the pattern squares are attached to that, looks gorgeous when it's upright - sadly didn't take a good photo of it like that.

Oh baby shower invites too.......

Well added to the wedding preparations, I am in charge of decorations for my daughter's baby shower. She is due 20th April, so all things are busy busy around here.













I used the adorable 'onesie' template from Papertrey and was able to cut them on my cricut machine - very helpful and time saving!

Oh I am so very happy with how they turned out....wondered if I should have made my wedding invites like this.....ha ha.

Sadly I didn't have a 'baby shower' stamp from Papertrey, so used one I had.


Here's a link to another batch of these I made for a friend's grandchild's baby shower:-
