Robots...

For the first time in many moons, I am ready to post off my wonderful nephews and niece's birthday pressies - important dates which all fall over the next couple of months.

After some serious blog hopping and idea-pilfering, I produced the following two cards for the boys...

Sir M's card features an SU 'bot, layered onto a fantastic technique I picked up from blogger Allison Ohran.  Simply emboss a design on card stock (here I used SU Lots of Bots bolts) then covering with tin foil, run the piece through the Cuttlebug and, voila!  A great metallic watermark effect!

These cute little guys are from Maya Road and have been coloured in with brush markers, accented with a little Kindy Glitz for good measure!

Pinafore...

Ooooh!  I took this idea from a local craft shop and am so pleased I was able to memorise the basic layout as to take a photo in store was a BIG no-no!

Using My Mind's Eye Quite Contrary paper matched with some trusty Bazill, this easel card is a pretty alternative to the usual 'Congrats on your new baby' card.

Made with love for a new princess in the world (welcome Miss Emily Grace xx) I spiced some of the punched flowers with SU Dazzling Diamonds and some diamond gems.  The ribbon is SU Old Olive.

10 cards quick...

... exactly what it says on the tin!  10 cards.... super quick!

Princess Pippa's Party...

My youngest princess turned 5 last month and having spent two of her few birthdays travelling, it was time to give her something special for a wonderful party with her preschool friends!

Using Bazill Bling, the beautifully simple Heartsong from Dream Street Papers and the gorgeous Palace stamp from Kaszazz, I created a party collection for the party poppet.

Flower Fairy...

I've taken the sweet treat cup to a different level and cosied a little fairy in for a birthday girl!

Inside reads... 

"Open me and take me out,

And we can play together,

I'll bring you sunshine everyday,

No matter what the weather"!

Mini-me

My gorgeous daughters love to join me in the 'craft room' where we
create-away together.
My big girl has seen me take pictures of cards before I send them so
she took this herself!
I love you, Mx

Baby Ella

Here's a variation of a card learnt from the gorgeous Sue Dean.
Welcome to our world little Ella Jane xxxx

Wonderful Window Dressing...

My new obsession with Stampin' Up has been further tormented by this
divine stamp set - Window Dressing.

I've only just begun playing with it but the possibilities are endless!
Yours, in love!
