Loving The Rooster

Hi on this muggy weird evening,
I think it is the start of flu/asthma season, everyone I know is coming down with something (just as long as they keep it away from me - too much to do!!).  Tonight I have a card I have been meaning to show you for a while, this is from my good friend Angie when Creamy our rooster got attached by a goanna.  Such a gorgeous card, love it.

And here is Creamy.  You can't really tell from this angle that his beak is all off balance, but don't worry it hasn't stopped him with the girls.  He has recovered really well and we are so proud of him.
Thanks for stopping by and have a good night......

Circles, Circles, A Bag and A Card!

Hi,
Oh my, I was just watching Revenge, and gee that show keeps you on the edge of your seat.  Don't worry I was cleaning as well, lol.  So tonight I wanted to show you what I made for a party, Julie, who was holding the party, wanted to make a bag out of the catty so I made a template of one and cased a circles card from Becky Roberts (fell in love with it when I saw it) and here it is......

 I so love these circles and will be doing more.  This is one type of bag we did.

 And this was a case from the Catty but I actually like the one above more.

 The card to go with it...

 A close up of the flowers seeing I love them so much

And the two together.  Sorry, I haven't written down all the details of the products I have used but just let me know if you would like them.  I will get back into putting it up, and if you would like the template of the bag just let me know.
Thanks for stopping by.........

Monkey Face Fancy Box and Card

Evening,
Another punch art by Beth again and just as adorable though I don't know if mine really captures how cute he is.  Again she has the instructions on her blog and easy to follow....

 I didn't know what salutation to use so I haven't put one on the card yet.  I'll wait and see what I need it for later down the track.

And the gift set altogether.  I'm really loving making the card to go with the box or bag.
Another quick post again today.  Tomorrow I'll show you what we did at a party I did a while ago.
Thanks for stopping by........

Giraffe Fancy Box and Card

Evening everyone,
  I found another exciting blog and cased Beth's gorgeous boxes, she has all the instructions that are really easy to follow.  So tonight I am showing you this very sweet giraffe box and I decided I needed to make a 3" x 3" card to go with it.  And here it is.........

 Ohhhh, I love punch art, I don't think you can ever have enough punches, lol.  Beth used the blossom flower punch which I don't have so I used the 2 step bird punch and just cut down the orange wings to fit inside the yellow ones.

 The side of the box, must admit it has taken me awhile to sponge but it does make a difference.

 And my 3" x 3" card with dsp from the Sale-A-Bration which is almost over for another year, so get in over the next couple of weeks if you would like some free stamps, dsp or brads and ribbon.

And my set finished ready to give to someone special.  Sorry I am short on time tonight and haven't written out everything I have used, if you would like to know, just e-mail me.
Have a lovely evening and thanks for stopping by..........

Tags for a Bag

Hello,
I am back, sorry I have just been that busy organising soccer, school and jobs but I feel like I can finally get some craft done.  I am showing you something today that I finished previously, just have not had the time to blog so here it is.....

I have shown you the little bag before but I made the tags to go inside.  I am making my little store of gifts so I have something to always to give to friends.  I just like to be organised and truly it is working.  Tomorrow I will show you a punch art box.  I really need to get into Easter but found these adorable boxes and had to make them, so stay tuned for tomorrow.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day....

Pinata Birthday Cake & A Selection of tags for a Box

Hi,
Yes, I have been slack again, I have just taken on a couple of extra jobs, secretary at soccer and fundraising committee at school so I have lost the time to put into crafting, don't worry, I will and I still have a couple of things already made that I have to show you.  On the weekend we had a couple of different parties and one of them was a family party that I made this cake for.  I search the net on how to make the dome part and really thought it wouldn't come off but it did.  The only trouble is I had to transport it and that was all good until we turned on the air conditioner in the car and the roof caved in!!!!  Oh no, now everyone could see inside, very disappointed but it was still a very big hit.  The next time I wouldn't put a cake in there as well as they were really not interested AT ALL.

 The cake with all the lollies piled high ready for the dome....

The cake, truly, everyone has to make one at least once, the kids absolutely loved it.

 This is a little box I made a while ago and my big thing this year is about making cards etc to go inside so I can use them for little gifts

 Simple little tags....

 Some butterfly tags......

 And some little note cards ready to be written on....

My box with everything inside it.....
Hope you are having a lovely night/day, thanks for stopping by.........

Lego Birthday Invitation

Hi All,
I have had a few days off but now I am back.  Today I am going to show you a card that I cased from Helen and was very impressed with.  She did a wonderful job and I pretty much cased exactly the same and proud of myself, making a Lego card, as my son is mad keen on Lego.  Well, we give out the invitations in the morning and when I went back in the afternoon I asked the kids what they thought.  Well I didn't ask, I gushed, so pleased with myself.  And they just looked at me blankly and said why it's just a card, and I said "NO" it's a Lego card.  They all went aaaaahhhhh, that didn't look like Lego.  Huh, I told them they were suppose to be better than adults and able to think outside the box!!!!!   You be the judge and see what you think............

This is a snip and tuck card.  I have made one of these before here where you can find the instructions.
Stamp set:  Birthday hostess set
Card:  Soft suede, so saffron, riding hood red and a retired blue
Ink:  Retired
Acc:  Scallop circle, 1 3/8", 1 1/4", 1" and 3/4" circle punches
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you liked the invite.....
