Little Treat Basket

Have a look at the little Treat Basket I decided to make, I thought it was soooo cute and it is very easy to make. I got the idea from a very talented lady called Cambria Turnbow but changed the measurements etc to suit the look I wanted. I made it to match the card I made in the prev post. If you would like to book a workshop to learn how to make the box give me a call or send me an email so we can book a date. I have some neat ideas for gifts that would be ideal for making to give to your childs teacher etc.

I love a Challange

I have not done a challange for ages so decided that I loved the sound of this one. It is the
The Corrosive Sundays Challenge #30 Kids Birthday CCBJ30.
My little girl loves all the pretty things so I decided to use Tea Party DSP and Pun Fun stamp set to add a bit of life to the card. I coloured it in using the watercolour pencils, TFL and I hope you like it.

Coaster Box open

Just showing you what it looks like when all the sides have been pulled out in the little coaster album.

Mini Coaster box / album

I had alot of fun making this really neat little mini coaster album box of our little girl, the 4 sides slide in and out. I decided to use the parisian Breeze textured designer paper from our Spring mini catalogue, I love the colours in this paper. I also covered the butterfly and stamped our girl on paper from the same pack. The flower has been covered using the Good Morning Sunshine DSP because I wanted to use a different colour. The stem and leaves have been inked and then I finished it off using my trusty dauber. I used the round tab punch to make it nice and easy to pull out the side pieces. It took a while to make but I think it was worth the effort. You can put 8 photos on the little box because you turn the box over and the bottom side has been decorated as well so it is a double side box. I hope you like it as much as I do.

WORLD CARD MAKING DAY

The first Saturday of October is known as being World Card Making day and is fantastic because people all over the world sit down and do something they love, make cards.
If you would like to come over and join in the fun I am going to be holding a Creative Christmas Cards event at my house of Sunday 11th Oct where you get to make some quick and easy but really effective Christmas cards.
If you live in Rotorua we are going to be holding a Creative Christman cards event on Saturday 3rd Oct and you can book in with either Bev, Delys, Jenn or myself.
I will post a sneak peak of a portion of what you can expect to make later.
If you want to know more about these events feel free to give me a call or send me an email, I look forward to having fun with you soon.

View from our room

Here is a photo of the view we got from our room at the Sheraton, it is such an amazing place to stay. Well I could keep going on and on about all the wonderful things we did on the trip but I am sure you have had enough of me raving on lol.

Everyone loves icecream

Stampin' Up really surprised us because at the end of the make n takes they rolled in a freezer full off delicious icecream, how cool is that, it tasted devine. The guys ended up joining us and having some icecream as well which was really neat, Gary and a few of the other guys had been out fishing for the morning which worked in really well. It was Gary and Jareds birthday on Friday (how freaky is that) so we decided it would be neat if we all went out for dinner at a Mexican restuarant.
