My Little Project This Afternoon.

Who knew what you could do with some fabric, buttons, circle templates and pinking shears! Aren't they divine? I generally make my cards to go into envelopes so they can't be to lumpy and bumpy. I have seen these flowers on a card or LO somewhere and they are perfect for cards that you want to pop in an envelope. The fabric is from Elizabeth the Vintage Fabric Addict, you can find her fabulous store here and the buttons are courtesy of my Grandmother's button box that I inherited. Could it be any easier?

'Tween Boys.

I think I've said this before but I'll say it again. I find "boy" cards so hard to do, particularly 'tween boys! This Rewind paper from Kaisercraft makes the job a little easier though. I love the colours and the grungy/graffiti look of them.

You can't see on this photo that the smaller orange arrow and the number 10 are raised with foam tape.

My older daughter is turning 10 this year which means most of her friends will also be 10 in the next twelve months so I think this paper will be getting a workout. I'm also going to enter this one in the 2 Sisters Challenge - "Anything Goes".

A Birthday Card For Paper Sundaes

My entry for Paper Sundaes Challenge #24. Super easy one this week. Create a birthday card. I used Kaisercraft "Sugar Sugar" papers and the only embellishment is a red pearl as the cherry.

Time To Make A Card At Last!

My girls and I have had a lovely day getting all sticky, inky and papery. It's about 5:00pm, school holidays have started and we're still in our P.J's! In between requests for help and the lending of my tools (aaahhh!!) I managed to produce a couple of cards. I finished a "Rewind" card that had been sitting, half complete, on my desk for a couple of weeks and made a delicious vintage creation. I'm entering this one in the "Anything Goes" challenge over at the 2 Sisters Challenge Blog. Their very 1st challenge too!

I have had these Graphic 45 Botanicabella papers in my stash since the Sydney Stitches and Craft show last year. I remember two elderly ladies looking at them at the same time as me and pretending to wipe dribble from their mouths. They had everyone in stitches which was very appropriate as we were at the STITCHES and Craft show. Hahaha. What do you think of my first attempt at making this flower using a template from Kaisercraft that you can find here. Turned out pretty well I think.

And a close up of the fussy cut dragonfly.

I'm heading back to the "craft room" while I still have my mojo!! S'pose I should feed and water the kidlets first though.
