Family Parties

Well I am just back from a weekend away at my mams as it was her Birthday and we had arranged a surprise party! it was nice to See all the family together, although there where a few missing due to other commitments.
I had made the invitations for this event and while at the party was asked if I could design engagement invites and also wedding invites as I had put my web Addy on the back of the invitations, I am really pleased as this has moved me to another area and hopefully my business will keep growing.

Cherry Blossom

A Card for Grandma I used one of my many Joanna Sheen CDs for the Topper and the backing Paper which I printed out onto pearl paper. I stamped the flowers and Butterflies using some tapestry stamps and embellished with iridescent Sequins, tiny gems and a sprinkling of glitter

Butterflies and birthdays

My Mams Birthday card although it is her 70th I have not added that to the front of the card as a lady never tells her age lol
I made it using Glitter girls board and assortment of Purples and some heat resistant acetate from the crafters companion web which I stamped and used Blond moments embossing powder sweet pink iridescent which is more of a lilacy colour.
I then embellished it with iridescent gems and peel offs

Wii Fit

Well I have become addicted to the wii fit I got it for Christmas from the kids and grand kids and what a source of fun it has been but as I am a fitness freak I can't seem to keep off it. and as I have stopped Smoking for fifth time and for good I needed something new and along came the wii fit.

Just hoping I don't end up on YouTube doing the hoopla as one poor soul has lol

Gems n Daisy's

This is a more contemporary Invite teal green was the colour the set was stunning when finished and matched in with Dresses Tableware and Favours
I used the the Robo to cut the scalloped circles punches for the Daisy's

Pink Paper Invitations

Wedding Invitations I designed for a special couple September and have only published the design now.

I used pearlised pink Card and Mulberry Paper the embossing was done using the Ultimate Crafters Companion.

All The Best for 2009

I still have not got my tree up and my youngest son will be home on leave this Friday and all his life the christmas fairies have put our tree and deckies up when they where asleep lol
I loved to see there little faces the next morning then they knew it was christmas. so i dont want to spoil his dream ha ha and ask him to help.
