Baby Shower

I know I haven't contributed anything for months...but I'm slowly getting back into everything after being away overseas with my husband and daughter on our trip of a lifetime! We had such a blast but are well and truly back to reality and normal life.

My sister-in-law is having a baby any day now and a few weeks ago I hosted her baby shower. I actually made the invites before we left on holiday and then had the party 1 week after we got back. She loves giraffes and doesn't know if she is having a boy or a girl so I decided to make everything multi-coloured!

I carried the animal theme through the invites, the decorations and the thank you cards. I even made some paper bunting which was very easy and quick. From her party I have been asked to make invitations, cake toppers and more for a little boys 1st birthday party so when I complete those I will post some pictures.

I have fallen back in love with the Fox and Friends stamp set! I also love the word set Curl Cute, which is where the 'Thank you' on the thank you card is from.

Hoping to post more soon,

Two Birds and a Monkey

Some old favourites have come out to play again, but with some new additions! The sentiment on the bird card comes from 'OccasionalQuotes', which is a level 3 hostess set, and the word {love} comes from 'Tiny Tags.

Our little monkeys are from 'Fox and Friends', the branch is from 'Cheep Talk', and I have used some gorgeous papers from 'Greenhouse Gala', one of the new sets of DSP.

I'm having sooo much fun playing with some of the new stuff!!

Finally....

I got to sit down last for the first time in almost 3 weeks and craft - and it felt FABULOUS!!!!!!!! We've been re-arranging our house and my craft stuff has been 're-located' and un-usable for the past couple of weeks and its been killing me, but finally I got to sit down in my new little space and start creating. Feeling a little rusty and these aren't the best cards i've ever made but boy, it was FUN!!!! Totally theraputic - I felt so happy making these cards...

And here they are...couldnt' decide which bad photo was worse than the others so you have them all :)

Obviously using the gorgeous 'Fox and Friends' set from the Autumn mini - I love this set but am a little flumoxed as to how to use it??? Basically just created my own dsp here with random stamping of some of the images in soft colours - I like all these colours together...

Stamps: Fox & Friends, Best Yet, Little Angel, Polka Dot Background

Ink: Certainly Celery, Barely Banana, Baja Breeze, Soft Suede, Pink Pirouette, Tangerine Tango

CS: Barely Banana, Baja Breeze, Sage Shadow, Whisper White, Pink Pirouette

Other: Big Shot Polka Dot Impressions Die, Blossoms Three Punch, Scallop Oval Punch, Large oval Punch, So Saffron Striped Ribbon, Ice Brads, 2 Step Bird Punch, Crystal Effects

Thanks for stopping by and come again soon!!!! Don't forget our project class this saturday if you're interested there are still a few spots left!!!

Baby Lilli

So I have felt rather absent from blogging the last couple of days as I've been visiting my older sister in NSW and haven't been able to do my usual blog stalking!!! hehehehe I just got back today and have been trying to catch up on all my favourites and thought I'd jump on here and put up a quick post - a little present for my beautiful niece - Lilli Emma - who is my sister's 5th baby girl!!!! How awesome is that - my lovely husband let me go and visit for a whole 5.5 days while he and a darling friend struggled with my own 3 kids on their own!!! Isn't he a gem...

So before I left I made this little frame up for my sister's nursery - she loves poofy flowers and I thought there could be nothing simpler than putting them in a frame and since I was already in the frame mode I just stuck it all together...

I really like the soft colours of this one though again its probably a little same-ey and could have done with some definition??? But my sister loves it so that's the main thing right??? :)

I also had to make a card and I had this strip of left over ribbon that was begging to be used - not really happy with this card (too top heavy) but I was making it very (!!!!) late so I couldn't afford to be too picky! hehehehe

Ok enough waffling - will be back soon with some more (hopefully) projects!

Hope you're having a fantastic week
Come back soon!!!
