a couple of spare minutes...

Hi All, well the weather is definitely turning it on for us for the end of term. We spent the day at Arapuni lake, waterskiing and biscuiting. So much fun watching the kids enjoying themselves. The kids had another birthday party yesterday so I had to get my thinking cap on for that one. The Under the Big Top set is always a good "go to" set for kids. So here's the 1st one.....

The framed tulips embossing folder, makes another show, along with very vanilla, pretty in pink, wisteria wonder. All very much little girl colours. The other one was a thank you card for some dear friends.

This one was using soft suede, very vanilla, cherry cobbler, with first edition DSP, pearl accents, and victoria lace with antique brads. The stamp set is creative elements, and I used the rocking technique to get the edge of the butterfly with the soft suede edge. I hope you get some inspiration from these. Yours in creating, Dee

The end is in sight

Well, the school holidays are nearly over for another summer, and life might hopefully return to normal again. It's been a wonderful 6 weeks of not doing anything constructive. However, it has also meant I haven't done anything that I should. But I now plan to remedy that situation, and I have a couple of little cards to show you that I've made recently.

I had a friend's daughter's 3rd birthday, and with being in holiday mode didn't really have too many creative juices flowing, so I ended up adapting one I had previously made, but with stronger colours. They are Pretty in Pink and Conchord Crush. I love the Big Top set and my youngest thought the dancing bear would be appropriate, so that's what we went with. The other one I made was a simple wedding card for a friend's wedding.

Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla and Crumb cake were used with the Elizabeth stamp set. It's simple yet elegant, and the Victoria lace and antique brad work well with the stamp, and the Framed Tulips embossing folder. So it's short and sweet, but I promise to improve on my posts....
