Birthday Girl (ME)

I wanted to show you all my birthday cake.

And me with my cake!
and a lovely card that came today.

I had a super day on monday.

Some more of my crafting

These cards are very simple.

I really enjoyed playing with some items

I had forgotten about!

This pink card was really quick to

put together.

The image was given to me by a forum friend

Joanne

The final one in this batch is

using a free image from a web site.

I thought it would be ideal

for a young persons birthday.

Finally made some cards

These are not like my usual cards,

as I have not made cards for a very long time.

I wanted to start simple and then expand from there.

I also wanted to use some images

I have had for a long time.
The Teddy below was heat embossed
quite a while ago, I just got around to using it.

A simple butterfly card.My Great Nephew was one in the 14th of May.My Great niece will be 3 in August.As I haven't crafted for a while,

I feel these cards are very simple and plain.

but they did get me into making some more

a little better than these!

Finally we had a super birthday Party!

Here are some pictures of my sons Birthday.

This was on his Birthday,

that evening is when I got ill.

We did his birthday cake in the afternoon,

just the 4 of us, it felt very strange.
Here is his second birthday cake from the following
weekend when we got a chance to celebrate with
the family.
He had more gifts to open from his Aunties & Uncles.

And the cake below is from his Birthday Party

with his school friends and cousins.

Again he was very lucky and got given some more

lovely gifts.

Here are my two lovely children before the party began!

If you look you can see that 'Mater' Card I made him.

That is actually the last time I made anything. And here they both are again... having fun!
The party was fantastic, all the food went down a treat,

the children enjoyed the party games.

They all loved the goodie bags they had to take home.

I am so pleased that the party was a hit,

and the fact that my son enjoyed all his birthday

celebrations.

Not bad really knowing that his party lasted three

weekends!

I love this card... PTW challenge.

I love love love this card,

My lovely niece turns 11 this month so I made this fun card for her.

Plus its also suitable for the

Papertake Weekly challenge :-

This weeks challenge 'Blooming Gorgeous!' is to use floral embellishments on your projects! These could be Prima's, silk, wire stemmed, die cut, handcut etc! etc!So please join us again this week and help make all our crafty blogs 'Blooming Gorgeous'!!

I have used Lili of the Vally dragons and Happy birthday paper.

Matching papers from a cd by Funky hand.

flowers from a paper mainia pack.

Mixing the papers in block style.

I would love to know what you all think!

Just Playing around and came up with these..

I was having a sort out and found this dufex to play with.

Bags, every girls dream!

I also found out some little tags and flowers,

so played around with them and came up with this pink card.

And then carried on to make this lilac one too!Each card has three little tags on the front!

I just realised not a Tilda or a Sugar Nellie in sight!

Some cards for men!

Do you struggle to make cards for the men in your life?

I know I do!

This one is for a friend of my Hubby,

who celebrates the same day as my husband.

I decided to make this one as Hubbys Birthday is coming up fast!

He is a leeds fan just in case you didn't realise!
Imside the first page. The second pageAnd the final page, I like to give him something to look forward to ;-)

Todays cards

I was asked this morning to make a get well card.

I used paper nation decoupage for both cards.

I made this fun dog one...

Then thought she may not like it so I made a

sweet nurse too. At least she has a choice then.

I have also been working on this exploding box card,

For my sister Trace.
The lid.

Inside all layers. As you can see there is a pink theme!

This is actually a mini ATC for her to take out and keep.

One of the outer layers.

Another outer layer.

One of the outter layers has a pull out card,

where I will add my birthday greeting for her.

I would love your thoughts on this...

Sundays work.... ready for 2008!

Yes I know its a scary thought, 2008 is just around the corner!

With having so many peoples birthdays coming my way I have been busy making these in advance.

First of all I had to finish off the four cards for Christmas I had started.

I have really got into making these fairy cards.

I know same old thing from me! But these have a twist.

I have folded the cards, to make them look different,

also used eyelets and ribbons.I wanted to make this one different and make the fairy stand out from the card!
I am not sure if this one below needs a ribbon adding to the eyelet.I love these colours together, purple and green always look great.

I have also added little gems for the fairies necklace's

The lemon one above is so fresh!

Again below I have used purple and green.

The final one for today.... a pinky red one!

I love adding something different to each card.

Post 70! (and todays efforts)

Can you believe I am posting for the 70th time, even more reason to give away the blog candy tomorrow.

Below is a card I have made for my Daughter, she will be 3 in January.

I have used some papers and letters designed by 'funkyhand'

and the lovely fairy's.

The next card is also for my daughter, from her big brother.

I wanted them to match in colour and style this year.
Its funny, I have said so many times that I would not use traditional colours,
well below are the beginnings of three out of four that have snuck in!
I have to say though, the reindeer need a dark colour behind them!
All three cards need the finishing touches...
Though I am thrilled with the results already.

Don't forget the name will be drawn tomorrow for the blog candy, good luck everyone
