Best Birthday EVER!!

The other day my children had one of their programmes on and there was a little girl in it that shouted 'Best Birthday EVER!! ' in the cutest little voice so imagine what i thought when i saw this sentiment in my new paper pad!

I had already coloured up this little cutie from Sassy Cheryl so i thought she was perfect.

This cutie is called Gaby's Pigtails and she is coloured with promarkers.

The papers which again are mounted on black card are My Minds Eye Hootenanny

The ribbon is from my stash!

Fizzy Moon

A couple of weeks ago my mother in law asked me to make her a card for her sister that was going to be 60.

I have a real thing for mounting on to black at the minute, i think it really sets the colours in the paper off.

The stamp is Fizzy Moon and is coloured with promarkers and flexmarkers.  The flowers have been stickled for the glittery effect.

The papers are Dovecraft and Me to You

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the pearls and gems were from my stash.

Dinosaur Birthday Card

My little boy Jack's friend had a birthday last week and like Jack he is mad about dinosaurs! Well as i had left it to the last minute i thought i would buy a card for him, so off i trot to the shop and get what i thought was a good card, dinosaur and all.  I showed Jack when he came home from school and he started crying! When asked why he was crying he said, he wanted me to make Harry 1 as shop ones are rubbish and my ones are the best! So for the rest of the day i was a big headed mummy!

This is what i came up with, i checked on Google images for a suitable dinosaur, because all the ones i had, Jack said they were too babyish! So after tooing and froing with Jack he chose this one which was a colouring page.  I coloured with promarkers.

The papers were in my stash but i think they are papermainia.  Jack stuck the dinosaur and words down and said he was happy with that, so that was the finished result!

Incy Wincy DT- Birthday

This week at Incy Wincy we have a really EASY challenge for you!  We would like to see your birthday cards!! Simple 

We are sponsored by 

http://knkdesigns.blogspot.com.au/ 

 I wanted to make something quite simple that can be personalised at a future date and that was suitable for a child, so no pins, and anything that could possibly come off.  So i coloured with promarkers and mounted onto a Hexagon nestie.  The papers are Kate Knight.  The sentiment is Forever Friends, Cardstock is Core'dinations.  The ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons. Simple but effective, i think!

This is available to buy in my store here

Molly Bloom Strikes again!!

Alot of my crafty friends over at MSE have used these stamps and said how lovely they were to ink up and colour and i couldn't agree more!  I brought the magazine these gorgeous stamps were a free gift with, the day it came out, but i negleted them until now.  This one is the little boy (obviously lol) I thought i would go with the distress feel that was in the magazine, so once i inked and coloured him i got to work at 'distressing' the papers, which are from papermania.  The balloon and his shoes have been glossy accented.

Thanks for looking and i hope you like it.

Updated Tilda!

I posted the infinished version of this the other day and asked for help.  As usual i can always rely on my followers to help me out and it was suggested that maybe putting flowers on it would complete it, so i did and i think i am a little happier with it now, but i'm still unsure.  Anyway here she is:

Help!

What do you think of this?  I think it is too plain and needs something else, but can't put my finger on what, Any ideas?

Honey and Hugs Birthday Card

This is a birthday card i have made for my husbands aunt.  She loves pigs, so i thought this was perfect.  The pig, cupcake and sentiment are from a Honey and Hugs decoupage set.  The bp is from Pepper and Friends range (i think).  Butterfly punched with a Martha Stewart punch and glittered and embellished from my stash.
