More to share

This last couple of weeks have been so full of birthdays.  Here is the card and gift box I created for my Mum's birthday last week.

I used crepe paper to create the ruffled pendant on the card and box.

The bottom was made in the new In Color from Stampin' Up called Pink Pirouette.  It's gorgeous and as a pure pink girl I am lovin' it.  

The top was created from acetate and I added brown ric-rac around the sides.

Here I used my favourite SU set for the heart.  I embossed it in white embossing powder on the Pink Pirouette cardstock.  The background paper is from DCWV paper pad called "The Sweet Stack".  Gorgeous papers with cupcakes etc.

Thanks for stopping by.

Baby Cards

I bought the cheapest little set of acrylic stamps from Target recently, convinced that they would be no good (I mean $3.99 - how cheap!!).  But they are great.   Here is the result:

I love that little vintage pram.  So cute.

Mr Bot

Samuel had a birthday party to go to today and I had to whip up a card in a hurry.  After sending him to the wrapping paper drawer to pick some paper for the present, I was inspired to create this:

I don't normally like doing paper piecing, but this came together really fast and seemed to be appropriate.  See the wrapping paper and the little red guy up in the top corner and on the right hand side.  He's my inspiration.

I shall name him "Mr Bot"  :)

Happy Birthday

I created this signature album for my girl friends birthday last week from some of the newest Kaiser papers.  Here is her matching card:

I just love black and grey together.  Very sophisticated don't you think?  While I was in the swing of it I decided to create a whole set.  I just couldn't stop.

Enjoy!

A little love....

......for my Mum.  Thought I would share my Mum's Valentines Day present with you.  

I love my Bind-It-All.

And I love vintage tickets.

Favourite Photo.....

this is one of mine!  I read Jessica Sprague's blog today and she asked the question "What is your FAVOURITE photo and why?"  As you all would know, that is a seriously HARD question for a scrapbooker and lover of photography.  But I have to say, this photo is THE one that immediately came to mind.  I have always loved this photo and it was taken back in 2006 when my last little boy was just a toddler.  

This photo is a favourite because it represents what scrapbooking is to me.  I didn't growl about my baby playing in the mud and getting dirty (I am not terribly fond of dirty children - Mmmm, and I have three boys!  I am in trouble aren't I!!!) but I immediately went and got my camera and proceeded to take approx. 180 photos of this very moment.  Because that is what it is all about, remembering the moments!  Even if they are dirty ones :D

And this photo is pretty cute too!  Look at that twinkle in the eyes.
