Busy busy busy!!!!!!!

Well I am always going on about where the time goes but seriously this year has flown pass so fast I not sure if I even participated in it!!!! 

I have so much coming u,p it seem never ending but FUN!!!! Most of my commitments have to do with crafting WHOO HOO!!!

So what have I been up to of late. On the 29th October together with a good friend of mine we had a stall at a her daughters school. It was great to get so much positive feedback and sell so many things.  Here is just a small sample of what I had on offer for the day

 Glass coasters

 Post it note holders with pens

The post it note holders were a  huge seller, if only I had listened  to my husband and done more Christmas themed ones ( don't you hate when they are right!!!) .

Anyway if anything here it of your liking come and have a look at the stall we are having at Glenbrook markets on Saturday 20th November 9am - 2pm.  I'll be at the 'House of giggles' Stall!!!

Till then Happy crafting

A few new cards

As it is school holidays here at the moment , I have one very bored 7 year old who cant seem to find anything interesting to do. She is so bored. Anyone else have this problem!!!! So this will be a very quick post as I have been given the job of chief entertainer. Hopefully these cards will keep you inspired to stamp up a storm

 This is the gorgeous owl punch I just love it!!! I am hoping to get lots and lots of use out of it. I moved way out of my comfort zone with the colours here, daffodil delight, pumpkin pie and pear pizzazz. I have actually never used pumpkin pie!!! What do you think???

This card was cased from the very talented Leonie Schroder, you can view more of her beautiful work here

 This card is based on one, my talented up line made Petronela Hardy Check out her amazing cards on her website. She is so inspiring!!!!!

This one is my fav colour Rich Razzleberry, I think I need to branch out a bit more from this colour. as it is well used!!! Have to find a new fav !!!!

Well till next time have fun stamping

My first stamp a stack!!!!!!!

Well one thing I can say is that I survived my first stamp a stack!!! I had so many requests from people close to me to do one, that I bit the bullet. I didn't follow the traditional method of using the same sort of image for all 10 cards. I had to make it more difficult for myself LOL 

It was a lot of work but so worth it in the end!!! I had great fun and the ladies that attended did as well!! That's the main thing right!! 

So here are the cards we made over the 2 stamp a stacks:

We use loads of dimensionals over 500 in fact!!!  The floor looked liked it had been snowing by the end. But the end results speak for themselves!!

Want to know the what we use??
All products are Stampin' Up!
Colours are Melon Mambo, Bashful Blue, Not Quite Navy, Whisper White, Very Vanilla, Regal Rose, Elegant Eggplant, Rose Red, Kraft, Pale Plum, Rich Razzleberry, Basic Black, Night of Navy, Kiwi Kiss and Pacific point.
Stamp sets are: Bugs and Kisses, All a Flutter, Inspired by nature, Teeny Tiny Sentiments,
DSP is Raspberry tart, Bella Bleu and Windsor Knot.

Hope you like them

Thanks for looking

One of them had a birthday party that we weren't able to make :(   Lili was devastated but happy when I produced a present and card for her to take to school!!!

Here is the card:

Surrounded by wedding fever!!!!!

It was my brother's wedding on the weekend and it couldn't have been a more perfect day. The bride was stunning and the groom was handsome. I realised on the weekend just how grown up my little brother is. I am just so proud of him and the man he has become!!!  Bron is just the nicest, sweetest most caring person ever and is just a ray of sunshine every time she enter the room!! So here are some pictures!!!!!

Bron with Lili, Jaz and Bella

Getting ready to walk down the isle

The bridal waltz!!!

As a special treat they were given a hamper to take on there weekend away and of course I had to put my touch somewhere. I thought the all the packet of tea and coffee looked a little boring so I made up an box!! (There's a surprise)!!!

Here it is

I really hope they enjoyed their time away and have an awesome time on their honeymoon

Cute Little box!!!

The days seem to be flying past at a rate of knots and I haven't really got anything to show for them!! Although I have the excuse of it being my little brothers wedding this weekend. But the rest of the time I'm not sure about!!

I had a quick peak at Makeesha's blog and she had given a tutorial on this little box. So I gave it a go, made a few little changes and here is the finished product.

 It's a cute little box with a belly band. Great for chocolates or little presents.

What did I use?
Stampin' Up! Basic black, Riding hood Red and Whisper white card stock, 
Stampin' Up! Riding Hood Red ink
Stampin' Up! Bella Rose DSP
Stampin' Up! Vintage Vogue Stamp set, Cheers and wishes Stamp set.

Hope you like it

A busy little bee!!!!!!

As I have mentioned a few times lately, our local school is having a fete. I am involved with the craft stall and today spent all day making boy cards!!! I always find this difficult as my house is pink and purple. 

Anyway these are the ideas that I came up with. Fingers crossed they sell on fete day!!!!!

We were lucky enough to have all the card stock that I used donated to us. 

What do you think???

 Thanks for looking
