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.

Another card Another Planet

Today is my uncles birthday, hes very into sci fi and stuff so I thought this alien would be perfect. The paper and template is from papercraft inspirations magazine, and the textured paper for the planet is from a set of recycled handmade paper I bought at the Eden project in Cornwall last year.

I was really pleased with this card and Gary thought it was great too, then I showed it to my Mom who said it looked like a blob. Thanks Mom lol.

The finishing touch is the wobbly eyes on the alien, I think they really set it off.

Happy Birthday Gary

Happy Birthday to you.... this is the card I made for my husbands birthday. To be honest I'm a little disappointed, I think I'm a bit overwhelmed with all the jungle stuff for Jacks party at the mo.

Still Gary really liked it so I suppose that's all that matters. Xxx

Two Hearts

A friend at work asked me to make a card for his girlfriend as a sort of anti valentines day card. They are both different religions so shall remain nameless.

He wanted a one off card instead of the usual valentine stuff and so we came up with this idea, and posted it on a different day.

I'm told he tried to pass off the work as his own but his lady is way smarter than that. lol.

I'm really pleased she liked it, and so much so has asked me to make her an engagement card for her friend. So watch this space.......

Jacks Jungle Party

Hi All

My little boy Jack will be one on the 25Th March so Daddy and I are busy planning his first ever birthday party. His bedroom is decorated with a baby jungle theme so we thought this would be a good theme for the party too.

As well as making invitations to send out we have been busy painting a 'happy birthday' banner and making jungle leaves to decorate the room. Me and my mum found some great jungle material which I'm going to use to make bunting to hang from the ceiling, and we have ordered some great party ware, and a brilliant monkey balloon.

I hope my little monkey enjoys it
