Mr Boy's Teachers Birthday

Mr Boy came home from school today to inform me that it was his teachers birthday and could he please make her a card.  To cut a long story short - here is the card, the post-it note pad and the bag-a-lope that "I" made for her. The new dvd was obviously much more interesting than  stamping!




What I've Used

Card: Kraft, Old Olive, Tangerine Tango, Whisper White
Stamps: In The Spotlight
Ink: Old Olive, Tangerine Tango, Soft Suede, Summer Sun
Ribbon: Old Olive

Christmas is Coming........

It occurred to me this morning that Christmas is just around the corner so I have decided I'd better get organised and start my Christmas cards. 

Here is the first one.  I'm not convinced that I like it, but I figure that it'll take me a week or so to come up with some decent ideas now that I have started. 

I love the delightful decorations stamp set and am sure that it will be used a lot over the next few weeks.  I also want to try making some trees - that should be interesting! 

What I used:
Card: Real Red, Baja Breeze, Whisper White
DSP: Ski Slope
Ribbon: Real Read, silver thread
Stamps: Best Yet, Delightful Decorations
Ink: Real Red
Punches: Large Oval, Scallop Oval, Ornament
Bling: Stick-on Rhinestones

The Big Boys Birthday

The babies wanted to make their Dad a special card for his birthday with his favourite car on it.  I was lucky enough to find this picture that is a perfect colour match for the SU Pacific Point card.  Of course Dad is still wondering when he's actually going to get the car!  I especially like the wording on the front - Wonderful and Favourite.  The babies insisted on putting both sentiments on the card even though the actually only have one father.  I think they did a good job of it.



Card is A5 size.
Card: Pacific Point, Whisper White
Stamps: Wonderful Favourites, Be Happy
Inks: Pacific Point, Kiwi Kiss, Riding Hood Red, Tangerine Tango, Baja Breeze
