Cherries - II

Morning all!

Firstly, thanks to all those commenters on the last post that pointed out all the PINK I have been using of late!!! Yes...it has been prolific, however, when it comes to little and incredibly girly girls....it is an obvious choice!! Please keep that in mind when viewing today's post and photos!!!

Miss 8 enjoyed a sleep over (her 1st) at a friend's house not so long ago, She was turning 9 and Miss 8 wanted one of the cherry cards to give her. We had her gift already (bling from Diva) so all I needed was the packaging. Miss 8 also wanted to give her a special bookmark. This is the booty from Diva....

 

I had fun with the last pillow boxes I did, so I thought I'd have another crack...and this is what I came up with....

 

 

 

So cute all done up together.

 

The bookmark was a variation on one I had done for my son (that I don't believe I have posted yet...oops!!) It uses the 2 Tags Die.

 

 

Finally, since the card did not have the birthday girl's age on it, I fancied up the inside a bit. Miss 8 chose this card....

 

 

and then on the inside......

 

 

This is it all together.........

 

Not to be outdone, Miss 8 also wanted to make her own special card for the birthday girl. As she was turning 9, it was based around 9 items on the card. Miss 8 designed it all.... and I was so very touched by the words she wrote inside.....

 

 

Thanks for popping by and enduring all the photos. Will be back with some fun bloke things very soon.

Craft Camp - # 1

hey all.

I guess since it was now a month ago I should share with you the projects I made at Craft camp this year. Once again as in previous years it was at the Collaroy Centre.

Sometime back (and yes better late than never........) a fellow craftie had a beautiful baby boy. I was inspired by this beautiful card. Here are my 2 versions......

The first keeps to Carrie's combo of Bashful Blue, Espresso and Crumb Cake.

The second I changed it up slightly by switching the Espresso for Black.

The rattle is just basic punch art, but so very cute and the dry embossing just finishes it off.

The pennants are threaded on brown/white bakers twine and silver elastic cord.

Here are the 2 cards side by side.

I love how a small change here and there can change up the feel of a card just enough. Also no white or Vanilla....who'd have thought?????

Thanks for popping by. Rest assured there are many projects from craft camp to share.

Stuff used:

CS: (SU) Bashful Blue, Crumb Cake, Basic Black, Early Espresso

Baby Cards #2 - Boys

Here are the ones that I made for the boys, basically they are masculine versions of the girl ones.

This is the male version of the CASE fm SCS here.

A bit bold with Tangerine tango and Pacific Point.

And the boy tag...

Hope you have a fabulous and creative day!!

Baby Fun #1 - Girls

With the recent birth of my beautiful baby neice, naturally I would have a post on some baby cards about. The cards in the next couple of posts actually went to my work as we have a lot of prospective Grandmas and co-workers. It is a veratible baby boom coming. So here are the ones I did for the girls....

The following is a CASE from SCS here.

Finally a slightly different take, a tag that is Cuttlebugged with a plain tied behind so that it can be written on. I love the simplicity of this tag.

There are a lot of things used in these cards, so if you have any questions about the things/inks/sets I have used, leave a question in the comments and I'll get back to you.
