Flowers and butterflies

Well here it is...this is the cake I made for my Nans 75Th birthday. We had a surprise BBQ for her and she didn't suspect a thing !! My little boy Jack came up with the theme, which I thought was a great idea as Nans always in the garden and loves her flowers. I started off hating this cake as I couldn't get the icing right, but when the flowers and butterflies went on, I just loved it!!! I actually couldn't believe that I had made it. Everyone at the party loved it including nan, and all said it was too pretty to cut! And as they say one thing leads to another, as my cousin Shauni will be 18 in August and has asked me to make the cake!!! Better get my thinking cap on! Xxx

A Pretty Pair

Here's a couple of simple little cards I made. The pink one I gave to Jackie for her 50Th birthday. I've wanted to make a monochrome card for a while, but always plump for pink at the last minute. The images are Lola Rose (again..lol) from pink petticoat, and the papers are some left over in my stash..see I'm still working on using it all up ;) As usual click on the image to see it bigger. Now on to the next....Nans 75Th birthday cake Xxx

Happy Birthday Jackie

Just a little one to show off the cupcakes I made for my friend Jackie's 50Th Birthday. She loved them so much she's frozen one to keep forever :) Shes better than me I could never keep a cake forever it would play on my mind until I ate it..lol. The card I made for her is soon to follow...and the cakes tasted Yummy!!! Xxx

Bath Time sparkle

I haven't made a card in ages, so I thought I'd get everything out and have a go to see if I was still any good. When I went through my stash I was stunned at the amount of unused stuff I'd got, so I'm trying to make a point to use some of it up. Any how here's what I came up with. the image is Lovely Lola rose by Pink Petticoat. I love Lola and Pink Petticoat, all there stuff is really pretty and modern. As for the paper and the vellum they were just lying around in the stash as was the flower. I tried not to put too much on this card as sometimes I think less is more.Although I do love the sparkly bubbles !!! As always I hope you like and thanks for looking Xxx P.S Am I still any good lol.....

Easter Treats

Well first things first.......I finally passed my NVQ.... Woop. I am soooo pleased that I don't have to look at that course work ever again.

Anyway Easter is here and my mom had her annual egg hunt, so I thought I'd share this little pic of the cupcakes I made for the occasion. I have to say they were Yummy!!!

So now the work is out the way I'm hoping to get back to some crafting, if I can find time what with a job , a 3 year old, a house and an allotment to look after....watch this space ;)

Sky dive

Hey I know it's a long time since i posted, but I have had to put the crafting on hold for a short time while I concentrate on my NVQ, which ends in march...hooray!!!
However I just thought I would let you all know that on 17th january 2010 I will be doing a Sky dive in aid of the Make a Wish foundation. So please click on my link and donate some money. Even a small amount can go far, and i'm jumping out of a plane...that has to be worth something, lol Xxx

Another wedding

Here is another Wedding card, I told you I was having a red and black thing : ) I really made it because a lot of brides get married in red these days but there are no cards to match. The sequins didn't really work on this so I'll try a different technique next time. The bride image is from Pink Petticoat as before and the papers are by Funky Fairy. Thanks for looking Xxx

Red Nose Day

Here is the Cake I made for Gary's birthday, I made it along the theme of Comic Relief, Red Nose Day. This one is a mini cake measuring 4" x 4", as these are a little more practical, and you can bake one big square cake and cut it into four..genius : ) I will put his birthday card on the next post. Thanks for looking Xxx

Wedding

Here Is a card I made for my friend who is bridesmaid at her sisters wedding on Saturday, and an extra one for my stash. Both are made using the Lola Rose occasions stamps from Pink Petticoat, you can see I'm having a bit of a Lola Rose fad at the mo, the white one has been coloured according to the brides colour scheme, so lets hope she likes it. The other I made as I wanted to make something more contemporary, so I hope it works.

Thanks for looking Xxx

Hello, Here are two cards made with the Lola Rose occasions stamps from Pink Petticoat, I love these images as there's so much you can do with them. I have lots of ideas for them, but am just trying to find the time to put them to paper, so to speak. I'm having a bit of a red and black, pink and black thing at the mo, as you can see. The pink one looks a bit wonky in the pic, must be my dodgy photography : )

Thanks for looking Xxx
