A friend recently celebrated their 50th Birthday.
I used PTI World’s Greatest stamped using SU ink to create the background. I used the same to make the small feature as well as SU cardstock. I stamped the sentiment on to a dienamics oval tab.

I think I might just make it.
Thanks for taking a peek.

A little Bird…
Posted on: May 19, 2013
I used a free digi from Birdie Brown along with Lawn Fawn Blissful Botanicals.
I coloured the main image using SU markers. I stamped the AC cardstock with a single flower from Blissful Botanicals in su ink – sorry doesn’t show very well in the pictues. I die cut a scalloped circle from PTI limitless layers and the coloured image from Lifestyle crafts nesting circles and added to card front. The butterflies are from SU beautiful wings embosslits. The flowers were stamped on AC cardstock, fussy cut and added to the base and then finished off with a gem. The sentiment is from ABS Party Animals 1 stamped in onyx black.

Hope you have had a fantastic weekend.

The challenge at the Lollipop Ladies is Boiled Lollies and curves #69. I have taken this litterally – what do you think?
I have used Uniko Background builders Round in Circles stamped using SU Real Red, Lucky Limeade, Elegant Eggplant, Daffodil Delight and Rich Razzleberry to create my own paper. I die cut a circle using Lifestyle Crafts nesting circles. In the space created I stamped ABS Boy’s Party.
With the little stripes left from trimming my paper I made these gift tags using PTI Tag Sale Die #1 and twine.
If you have a chance pop on over to the Lollipop Ladies and take part in the challenge.
Thanks for taking a look.
Cheers

I stamped Uniko Pure Florals Chrysanthemum onto Uniko Modern Lattice digi paper with black versafine before cutting out. I made the card front by layering SBB Oatmeal cardstock and SU Naturals white cardstock. The sentiment is stamped in PTI Classic craft from Uniko Flower Power #1. The ribbon is from my stash and I added Bo Bunny gems. I was inspired by Stacey’s card on the recent Uniko Blog hop – I haven’t mastered Stacey’s beautiful bows yet.
I liked the colours so I made this second card using Uniko Bright Butterflies die some black sequins, ABS twine and the sentiment from Bright Butterflies.

A few gifts and Mother’s day…
Posted on: May 13, 2013
Hope everyone had a lovely weekend and enjoyed Mother’s Day.
I knitted this tea cosy (in Patons Caressa 8 ply for my yarn stash) for a friend’s birthday. I used a pattern from The Art of Knitting. The buttons are from my stash and are tied using Annabelle Stamps Hemp twine natural. I know my friend’s teapot is a handmade pottery one in blue and green tones – I was guessing, going from memory estimating the size of her teapot. Fingers crossed it fits hers as well as it fits my Maxwell Williams tea pot. I also added some Australian Black tea I picked up at a local Farmer’s market and a travel mug.
I used MFT Always time for tea die for the card along with Courture Creations Tied Together Embossing Folder, Kaisercraft ribbon, Hemptique twin, PTI Tiny Tags die and stamp set stamped using SU ink. I used paper included in a magazine to die cut the shapes, as this has no body I adhered it to adhesive paper first.
I have also made another stationery roll. I was lucky enough to find some co-ordinating stationery in Kmart for a few dollars. I used the same pattern I did here http://frommycraftroom.wordpress.com/2013/04/01/happy-birthday-notebook-cover/ and instructions were from Handmade Magazine Vol 31 Number 2 by Jemima Flendt.
My Miss 8 woke me at 8am on Sunday so she could give me the gift she had put together and to watch a Mother’s day kids song on you tube.
She sourced items from her own craft stash (a future RAK giver in the making) and put them in a bag she decorated for me with her hand made card and powerpoint. I think I will leave these items where she can get them because I know she will be looking for them soon. Miss 17 had been to the local lolly shop and got some chocolates which the 4 of them chipped in for.
After lunch the girls and I did a little shopping and stopped for a hot drink and shared some cakes – something we never do (shopping yes stopping for drinks no). When we got home the boys had cooked a nice roast and Mr 15 made some scones which we had with jam and cream.
Hope your week has got off to a great start. I need to go and write some reports for a work meeting tomorrow.
Cheers for now
Vicki
Update:
Took my friend her pressie. We tried it out straight away with a cuppa. It fitted her everyday pot which means her other tea cosy went for a wash.
