A change from Christmas cards

It was nice to have a change from making Christmas cards this week and make a couple of kids Birthday cards.  My favourite (and only) nephew Jasper turned 6 last week and we were very lucky to have a visit with him today.  After his visit Jasper was headed to his friend Olives 6th Birthday party so I quickly whipped up a girly card for him to give her.  Finally I made a 3rd card for another special little boy turning 6 this week who just happens to love trains, hope he likes it.

Just a few Christmas cards

Just a quick post today with a few Christmas cards.  These are from my favourite Christmas set from Stampin' Up! this year "Holiday Lineup".  I've made about 20 cards like these but all slightly different, different paper, colours, ribbons etc. Enjoy.........

I made these cards about 2 months ago and I'm sure I CASEed some of the designs, just can't remember from where.  If it's from You, Thank You.

Thanks for stopping by, hope you like my chrissy cards, I'll be back soon with some more.

A special Birthday and 3 firsts

Today is my very good friend Karen's 4oth Birthday.  I had such a good time on Saturday night helping her celebrate the big event.  Karen is a fellow card maker so I was determined to make her a special card for this special event (I think it would have been the end of a good friendship if I had bought her a card).  So 3 hours before the party started, after packing up the boys and sending them to Mum and Dads for the night I made a start.  This is the first ever Tri-shutter card I have made and despite owing the Cheep Talk stamp set from Stampin' Up! since April this is the first time I have used this set.  I have also used the Candy Lane DSP from Stampin' Up! for the first time as well.  So after 3 new things and 3 hours later I finally came up with this card....

I hope you have a fantastic 40th Birthday Karen, I'm off now to make my special little nephew Jasper a special card for his 6th Birthday which is also today.

See you soon

Lots to share

With Christmas rapidly approaching I have been busy creating lots of festive goodies.  I was determined to make all my christmas cards this year and alot of gifts as well, so I have an abundance of things I wish to share over the next few days.

As all the kids activities wind up for the year I have made all the kids teachers and carers a special card and a little gift, and I just have to say "how cute are my kids".
