Some More of my Birthday surprises from Vicki and others

Hello Everyone,

I'm continuing my post on showing some of the fabulous cards and gifts I've received from friends for my Birthday.

I have a very dear friend Vicki from Brisbane who I regularly swap cards with and she also makes fantastic papercraft gifts.  She is also a Stampin Up Demonstrator.  This is what she sent me for my Birthday.



Her gorgeous card features Everything Eleanor Stamp set and Papillon Potpourri butterflies.  My photo doesn't really do this card justice as the butterflies and flowers are so glittery in real life and the detail on this card is beautiful.


And here are some Paper Bows & Washi decorated pegs so neatly packaged.
Aren't these just the cutest things.  Next is some Card Candy she's made, all hand stamped assembled ready for use and packaged up beautifully.  Sorry for my terrible photo here.  There is glare from the cello bag. 

Thanks so very much Vicki.  I am one lucky lady and very spoilt by you.

Next I have a fantastic little bag made by my friend Kris who loves playing with patchwork and she just happened to whip this up for me the night before I saw her at the Sports Carival on Friday.



I've photographed both front and back.  So cute Kris, thank you.  I'll have to fight the girls for it as Karree things this will make a great cosmetics bag.

Next is a card by my Dear, Kind and Wonderful Friend  Marian(our little in joke) who posted this cards to me.

Thanks so much Marian.  Can you see there was a bit of a theme happening with the lovely cards I've received so far.  Yes, they all know I love butterflies.  I will come back and show you some more another day, but I think that's enough photos and a big enough post for today.

Thank you for stopping by.  Can you see I'm milking this birthday for alll it's worth and stringing it out longer, because I know I have another card on the way from overseas.  Hope you've enjoyed looking at these.  Have a great day.

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

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
