AN AVIARY 21ST!

The Summer Holidays are slipping by very quickly.  I’m just not sure where the Summer weather is yet though!  It will probably arrive after all the kids have gone back to school.  I have been busy stamping away and spent a lovely day with my stamping buddies yesterday.  I will show you those projects soon.  I wanted to show you a card I made a few weeks ago now for a lovely customer of mine whom I have got to know well (Hi Alison!).  It was her 21st and as she loves animals and music I wanted to create one that included these.

Stamps: Aviary, Calendar Alphabet and Numbers.

Card: Rich Razzleberry, Very Vanilla, Newsprint DSP.

Ink: Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive.

Other: Very Vanilla Satin Ribbon, Mounting Tape, Self- Adhesive Pearls.

Here is the inside:

For the inside I have used the Hostess Level 1 set “Afterthoughts” and “Teeny Tiny Sentiments” and the cute birds from “Aviary”. I was really happy with the final result and I think Alison liked it too.

I am getting some time to create but trying to get access to the computer during the holidays is a bit of challenge.  So, when I can get back here, I will show you some more creations.  Pop by again soon.

JUST ADD CHRISTMAS!

I have been very good today.  I got stuck into my swaps for Sydney Regionals and finished them except putting them in the cello. bags.  So, I got to play!  I checked out Just Add Christmas challenge earlier and it was ‘Just Add Christmas’. You can see all the lovely creations here.  Since I have been getting in Christmas mode I wanted to play along.  I have been working on this card in my mind for days so it didn’t take too long to put together.  Here is my card for the Just Add Christmas challenge.

The backgrouund paper is from the Newsprint DSP.  I have used the Victoria lace coming in the new Summer Mini with an Antique brad.  It is a bit hard to see but I have added some Adhesive Pearls to the ornaments.  Here is a run-down of what I have used.

Stamps: Tree Trimmings, Christmas Classics.

Ink: Real Red, Old Olive.

Card: Real Red, Old Olive, Very Vanilla, Newsprint DSP.

Other: Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder, Top Note Die, Victoria Lace, Antique Brad, Sponge, Adhesive Pearls.

OK, got to run!  The Wednesday crazy afternoon begins between school pick-up, swimming lessons, cricket training, cook dinner and team meeting this evening.  Be back later with some more Christmas Creations!
