Lara's 3rd Birthday

Hi Everyone,

We've had a very busy weekend, with my first class of the year on Saturday and my niece Lara's 3rd Birthday today.  She lives in Brisbane so we've spent over 3 hours travelling back and forth.

Being a 3 year old and a little girl, she loves her fairytales and is also going through a Princess phase.  She's actually had 2 Birthday parties this year, a Princess Party for all her little friends to dress up and the family party which was today.

In keeping with the theme, I made her a card fit for a little Princess and my girls also made her some cakes for the party.

Although the stamped images are not SU, and I've also used some non SU papers from my stash, you may notice some very definate added SU touches.

I've made the sun in the corner with 2 punches - the circle and the small tab on the ticket punch for the rays and I've used the Memorable moments set and Label Framelits on the base of my easel card.  I've used the Silver Glimmer Paper for the Crown and the star on the wand, and of course I've used SU cardstock - Rose Red, Old Olive and Daffodil Delight.

My Girls had to make these Froggie Cakes for the Party to go with the theme.


My daughters have a sense of humour.  This poor guy looks like he's been drinking.
Here is a picture of the Birthday Girl, and also my girls looking on at their cousin. 




These cakes were loved by all, young and young at heart, but what a sugar overload.  The birthday cake in the picture one above is also surrounded by lolly sticks.

Here is one last pic of Lara rocking out on her drum kit, her favourite present of the day, and she certainly entertained us.

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great day.

Music Teacher Farewell // Paper Players #173 Shaped Card Challenge

Image
Hello Everyone, It's a sad week for my daughter and her friends who have really enjoyed what the music program offered them at the High School this year.  Their very talented teacher will be moving on to a new school and they're having a little party for their last day of the Vocal ensemble practice which was an extra activity that he undertook with the students, as well as teaching them to play all sorts of instruments in lesson times. His speciality though, Guitar!  I have decided to enter this card into the Paper Players Shaped Card Challenge this week.  While not specifically made for the challenge, I think it's a pretty cool shape and fits the criteria.  I also think more people deserve to see this card. When asked to make a card for the group to give him, with that in mind I found some inspiration on Pinterest and came up with this card. The hardest part for me was getting the shaping right, and I had to call on my Artistic daughter to draw the edge as I d

JAI176 - Just Add Blokes & CCMC 2nd Entry

Image
Hi Everyone, I thought this weeks Just Add Ink challenge - "Just Add Blokes" was a great opportunity to get in and make a Male card .  For those of you outside Australia, "Blokes" is another name for Men. Today I'm using Mosaic Madness bundle set teamed with a greeting from Loving Thoughts stamp set.  I don't understand why, but the simplest cards seem to take me the longest.  I agonise over them, and yet I can make something much more involved quicker, when I have a clear vision in mind. I've taken the colours for this card from the colour challenge this week for Create with Connie and Mary so this card is doing double duty for both challenges. Here we are The cardstock is Berrmuda Bay, Basic Black, Whisper White and Smoky Slate per the colour challenge.  Here is a closer look at the Mosaics.  The Bermunda bay one is raised on dimentionals. This picture below gives you a closer look at the greeting. Thanks so much for stop
