Birthday Boy..

Papertrey's "Fly Away"...was thrilled how this card turned out and so was the little boy who received it.  Love how his name was short enough to fit in the banner. All Papertrey goodness here :)

Happy 70th Birthday

We went to a surprise 70th birthday for a friend's mum, this is my card.

Addison's 1st Birthday

This stamp is one of my few favourite non Papertrey stamps. Was so fun to make and proud that I made the crochet flower too :)

Ooops I did it again!!! - Baby Shower Invites....

From the visitors counter I have on my blog, it seems my little Baby Shower Invites were very popular using the Papertrey template. 

 I just started a new job a few months ago and offered to make some for my boss/manager's pending grandchild.......to say she was happy is an understatement.  I got a bit of a shock when I realised I only made 20 for my daughter's baby shower - this time I had to make a whopping 40+!!!

Just had to put this last picture, as I was so happy to see them all lined up :) Hope you enjoy!

merry christmas......

Oh my I don't usually get time to make my christmas cards. I believe  there are many of you out there that have the same problem.

Well I have just finished 100!!!!!! christmas cards in around 2 weeks and these are going out in the mail in bulk to our Australian defence force members who are serving overseas :)  Was very honoured to be able to contribute in a small way.

Birthday Girl Party

My SIL wanted me to do some craft at her daughter's 8th birthday recently.  As time wouldn't permit the girls making the whole bag, I had them ready and they attached the flowers - these were cut with my Cricut - didn't have my gorgeous Papertrey flower dies at this time :(  

Just a close up - so very excited with how they turned out.....cute cute and SO popular at the party.  The rave reviews from the kids and their mums was just so exciting!

Now so the girls had something to "do" I made 3 little cards and stamped 3 Papertrey butterflies on a piece of cardstock.  Each girl coloured their butterflies and lucky me cut them out by HAND!! - 3 days later my new Papertrey butterfly die arrived ;) We then attached each butterfly with foam mounting tape to the centre of the cards and the cards fit snuggly in the paper handbags.  Such fun!!!!!!!!!!

Belated - Wedding Update Card

Forgot to upload this one....it was way back in December last year, my daughter's wedding cermony & reception venue fell through a month before the wedding!!! So hence the need for a "Wedding Update" invitation.  I 'whipped' these up very quickly and thought they were quite effective considering their simplicity.
