Birthday Whimsy

15 August, 2010 5 Comments

Today is my sweet baby girl’s 11th birthday!  Hard to believe it was 11 years ago that Miss Emily came into the world – and in a hurry too I might add!! Just over 2 hours labour – eeeeek!  It all seems like yesterday – well ok maybe not yesterday but not that long ago!

Emily has always loved the Garden Whimsy stamp set so I went straight for that set to create her card.

When I had the thought of those butterflies I thought them flying through the grass would be a nice effect and I thought what better stamp for grass than the one from Inspired by Nature.  I added a bit of sponging for the grass and added some sponged clouds using the scallop circle punch.

As I had a Stamp A Stack here yesterday I gave hubby the task of doing birthday shopping – brave I know!  He did quite well and just goes to prove he can buy birthday presents after all!

It was then my task last night to create the gift bag to fit the presents in.  I found a tutorial by the lovely Makeesha and just did some tweaking with the measurements to fit the presents in. So two sheets of Sweet Always Designer Series Paper and some ribbon later and we have a bag for the presents!

I just stamped some more butterflies, cut them out and popped them on and whallah :)

I hope she has a wonderful day today as she’s going to bed early tonight after one of her friends slept over last night … well not sure they actually slept so maybe we should call it a giggle-over!!

Thanks for stoppin by

Diva Sketch Challenge #22

22 March, 2009 6 Comments

Well something has happened to my calendar as someone fast forwarded me from Friday straight to Sunday!

I cant believe how fast the week’s are going by – next week we will have the launch of our new 2009-201o Idea Book & Catalogue and then just weeks after that we have the Australian Stampin’ Up!® convention and I’m so excited to be going again this year.

I do apologise for my lateness in posting the card for this week’s Diva Sketch Challenge and hope the other Diva’s forgive me too!

I have had a very busy week and feel like i havent stopped in the last 2 or 3 weeks but I do love what I do so wont be changing that at all! Just need to find out how to be more organised – if it is even possible!

I’ve taken this sketch and turned it and here is the card I came up with.

I’ve used the Garden Whimsy stamp set. When we first got this set in our current catalogue I couldnt wait to order it as I saw so many nice things done with it and I just love tulips and butterflies so how could you go wrong?

I have so struggled to create with it and so when i saw this sketch I immediately thought of this stamp set and I’m challenging myself to make some more cards with this set as it is one that will be in the new 2009-201o Idea Book & Catalogue

Would you like to earn a free 2009-201o Idea Book & Catalogue? all you need to do is to hold a demonstration so I can come and show you and your friends the gorgeous new book and stamps – we even get to make something on the day so everyone gets to take something home with them. There is no need for a large gathering – and you dont need to spend all of the day (and night) beforehand cooking – just a cuppa and a biscuit will do as your guests will want to get back to the stamps and fun!

So what are you waiting for? contact me today to book your demonstration in.
