Tag Baby Card

A friend asked me to make a leaving card for her daughter's teacher who's going off on Maternity leave- with enough room for 17 families to sign....
This is what I came up with, there are 18 indiviadual tags inside enough room for everyone to sign and send happy wishes.

I've used the sketch over at Stamping 411 why don't you pop over and see what the DT have been up to :-)

Stamp Sets: Happiness Shared, Fresh Cuts.

Royal Cupcakes

What fun I had last night with some girlfriends- we watched the Royal Wedding from start to finish :-) my daughter and I hadn't seen it, we watched the Kiwi version (thanks Mom) , in full and some Uk Highlights (thanks Dad).
I made cupcakes including these cute little Toppers- using the Scallop oval punch and small Oval and the Crown images from Extreme Elements and Artistic Etchings. Add some Dazzling Diamonds and they are done.

Happy I Do Day

Here's the card I've made for our friends who were married yesterday- Happy Day indeed :-)
I used the sketch over at Just Add Ink I'm really pleased with how the card worked out, I wanted a traditional looking card but with a bit of romance with flowers and ribbon.
And because everyone loves a wedding, I've also added some photos of us x

This was the gorgeous bouquet of lilies, tulips, berries and anenomes.




The bride looking beautiful with a real Vintage feel :-)

Coaster Notepads

A fellow team Mate and I have just done a private swap, we have similar crafty tastes :-) and so we came up with the idea of creating these Altered Coaster Notepads. Lynette has made me this gorgeous notepad- way too beautiful to actually use LOL. Lynette doesn't have a blog (yet), so leave her some comment love here x

I can't get over the amazing detail.

I've also popped up a photo of mine, in case you missed it over on my other blog x

Suspension Card

The school hols and roof dramas have really got in the way of my blogging these last 2 weeks. Here's the cool card that Tia taught in last weeks online class at Crafters Anonymous. It's a suspension card, I've used the Clearly for You set from the new mini and the Sew Suite DSP and Buttons.
