L's and P's

In my part of the world being South Australia, we have "L" plates in yellow and black, and "P" plates in red and white.

I have a niece who is a couple of weeks shy of getting her learners permit (eek) so thought this weeks mojo challenge sketch was super perfect for a card idea for in readiness for her getting her license.

I love how they turned out and that they are a sort of matching pair for her to keep.

Now to just get over the fact that she will be old enough to drive :(  and I should be right lol.

Have a great week everyone.

Christening...

I was asked recently to make a special Christening card for a soon to be Godmother.

Something special, so pink was definitely in order for the little girl being Christened.

and a close up of all the pretty details:

I don't make too many of these cards so was a novelty to create one.

The stamp set is one from Stampin' Up!

The papers, embossing folders and ribbon is also Stampin' Up!

The fancy die cut shapes are nestabilities.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

Birthday celebrations....

Ive had this card made for a couple of months but my class was only this week so now I can share it

This stamp set used is from the Stampin' Up! mini - its a really cool set as are the papers.

How cute are those balloons? 

Happy tenth birthday Georgia

Its just a few hours before my niece turns 10, and no card to be seen.  My mojo has taken a long long walk, so I turned to a card I had seen recently from Teneale Williams HERE 

Teneales card is amazing, and I started with the intention to CASE it entirely, but went to my cupboard and it was almost bare lol,

No silver glimmer paper, no little floral stamps, BUT I did have the blushing bride glimmer paper untouched as well as the stamp set and butterfly die she had used so I set about recreating it as best I could with what I had lol

and the inside.

So pop on over and visit the ever so talented Teneale, you wont be disappointed in her work she is amazing!

Something Eastery.....

Is Eastery a word? lol, I doubt it.

I had a brief for 8 of these cards, it needed a basket with those 3 words on it - Love, faith and hope

It also had to hold a single gold Haighs chocolate Heart. 

So where the gold heart is in the photo is where the lady has to glue her chocolate heart in.

I have used brushed gold cardstock from Stampin' up!

The oval dies make up the basket, the super cool scissors from Stampin Up also make the grass. I love those scissors.

The heart punch is from Stampin' up! also. 

I did print the words hope and faith as I do not own dies of those words, but used the banners framelits from SU also to die cut them out.

All products except for the Love die and leaf Die are Stampin' Up!

Happy Easter everyone, and for those that are travelling please travel safely.

Easter is coming, Easter is coming...

Its nearly Easter, yep already, seems like yesterday that it was just Christmas.

Today I made some hot cross buns and they were delicious.

I used the recipe from Thermomumma's Facebook page, Make sure you get the one by Lailah Rose as there are two pages with the same name.

I also did a batch of chocolate ones for the boys, and they are in the picture on the right,  I left hubby to do the crosses on those ones, it was a good effort for his first time, but they still taste delicious.

Thats all for today, Happy Baking....

Dum Dum Der Dum.....

Don't you just love weddings?

When 2 people come together promising to share their lives, loves, hopes and dreams TOGETHER, it is a beautiful thing

Then comes the hard work lol, but the good thing about that is it ebbs and flows, sometimes its hard, sometimes its just about perfect, but truly, how can you ever appreciate the perfect if you don't experience some of the hard?

It makes us stronger, it makes us want to try a little harder to get that perfect back because really that is the best feeling in the world.

So today i thought I would share with you a wedding card, something simple and a little easy on the eye.

Its a little hard to see but those cute rings on the bow is die cut from brushed gold cardstock.

To all of you approaching your wedding, congratulations, to all those doing the hard, keep at it, it will be worth it, and to all those in the "perfect" enjoy your bliss

Thanks for stopping by
