Nans Birthday

Here is the card I made for my lovely Nan. She loves gardening and flowers, and with her name being Kitty I knew this would be perfect, and I was right she just loved it.
The stamp is by pink cat studio from the crafty kitty plate, the papers and the rub on sentiments are from the pastels range by papermania and the flowers I got in a set at hobbycraft

Love you Daddy

Here is the card I made on behalf of my 1 year old Jack. We both hope his Daddy likes it.

I used the billy stamps from Pink Cat studio, and coloured it accordingly to look like Jack, the buttons I had left over from a set I bought in smiths when I was making my mom a scrapbook of Jack.

Happy Fathers Day Daddy

Love Vicky and Jack Xxx

Fathers day

Well with fathers Day just around the corner everyone has been talking about buying cards so I decided to make a few to sell. making cards for all the men in our lives has not been easy, trying to come up with new ideas instead of the usual fishing and golf stuff was quite challenging! Although I did get a lot of inspiration from the "Billy" stamps from Pink Cat Studio. For Dads with young Children these are great. I have also thrown in some origami shirts for the traditionalists amongst us.
Hope you like

Rita's Birthday

This one is just for you Nat... I know you wanted to see it.
Here is a pic of the card I made for Rita's birthday, Hope she liked it.
Happy Birthday Rita XXX

I used lily from Pink cat studio, and the papers were from the paper mania pastels pack. The sketch I used was on the Papertake weekly challenge. I never get to do the challenges straight away but still use them for inspiration. The flowers I recycled from a card that someone sent to me. They were so lovely I couldn't bear to throw them away.

Happy 2nd anniversay

Today is my 2nd wedding anniversary!

Here is the card I made for my wonderful husband. He likes froggies so I knew he would like this. The image is from Pink Petticoat which I coloured with water colour pencils then I coloured the heart with a red glitter gel pen so it really sparkles. The spotty paper was free in papercraft inspirations magazine (they always have such great freebies)

Its simple but it says everything I wanted it too. Xxx

natalies 18th

My friend at work Natalie is 18 today and a while ago she asked me to make her cake for her. So I agreed. she said she didn't care what it was like so long as it was pink. No problem I love Pink. she has a tattoo of some stars on her foot and that was my inspiration. I even made the butter cream inside pink by putting pink colouring in it.

Apparently it went down a storm and there wasn't a scrap left, I didn't even get a piece myself !!

I have to say thank you to the man in the icing shop for all his help and tips he was really good and helped me loads.

I did make her a card too with lily, from Pink Cat Studio, on it, but silly me forgot to take a pic. so you,ll have to use your imagination. needless to say it was pink! Xxx

Happy 40th Alden

My Husband asked me to make this card for his friend Alden's birthday. He and his wife Lara are very into Burlesque and are big fans of Dita Von Teese, so I tried to make a card in this type of style. I've never tried a style like this so found it a bit difficult but I hope I managed to pull it off.

The sketch of the girl is by pin up artist Rion Vernon and the font I downloaded from dafont. Xxx

Engagement

This the engagement card that I was commissioned to do. It had to be personalised with the couples name on but the rest was up to me. I had real trouble with this one, nothing I wanted to do seemed to work. in the end I went with a traditional heart and added an engagement ring inside for a little twist.

I wasn't sure they were going to like it and was half expecting to be asked to do it again, but they loved it. Apparently when she handed it over to the happy couple it out did any other cards they had been given, and by some sheer fluke the ring inside matched her actual engagement ring !!!

1 Today

We had a lovely time today on Jacks 1st birthday. He had lots of cards and presents and wanted to open them all at once. However at times I think the wrapping paper was more interesting to him than the actual presents.

We all went to the sea life centre for the day and Jack had a great time pointing to all the fish, and crawling off all over the place.

Here is the card I made for him. I hope one day when hes old enough he really likes it.

Happy Birthday my Little man Xxx

King of the jungle

Today was Jacks 1st birthday Party. It was only a small family thing but it was really nice. Gary and I were up til late last night decorating the room and blowing up balloons.

I decided to make Jacks birthday cake myself, and have to say I'm really proud of it. it caused me a bit, well a lot, of stress but I'm really pleased at the end result.

Jack had a lovely time and was all partied out at the end of it all.
