Cookie Time

 

 

Kate's Cookies

 

 

 

Kate decided she wanted to make cookies, so she did. She added 1 cup of chocolate chips and 2 cups of peanut "M & M's". I did try just one and I have to say, they were VERY yummy.

Another Banner

 

Charlotte's Special Day

 

 

Another birthday, another banner!

 

 

 

I did like making this though, even if I have made rather a lot of them lately...

 

 

 



More cards

 

 

A few more...

 

 

Here are a few more cards that I made last week, or the week before.

 

 

Just playing really and trying lots of different styles.

 

I made this one in a few different colour combinations and used a sissix stamp and die set I picked up a couple of weeks ago.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I must have had cupcakes on the brain....

 

 

 

Don't get much simpler than this! But you could use lots of different colours on this one. Rainbow, pinks, blues or autumn colours. Then stamp the card at a later date when you need a card at short notice.



Coffee anyone?

 

 

Time for a coffee

 

 

 

I made a couple of cards on the theme of coffee.

 

 

The first one is going to be used for Starbucks Coffee vouchers, which I  will pop into the brown bag on the front of the card.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The second one was using a Stampin Up! stamp, which I have been looking at for a while and wanting to use. Very simple little card, but not everything needs to be a masterpiece.

 

 

 

 

 



You're The Sweetest!

 

Lollipop Card

 

 

 

Not as easy as it looks but when I saw this on Pintrest I just had to have a go!

 

Stampin Up!

 

 

Monthly Card Classes

 

 

 

Here are some of the cards that I have been making at my Monthly Stampin Up! classes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finally something to put a lipstick into!

 

 



Dawn's Birthday

 

 

Gotta Love Birthdays

 

 

 

Really enjoyed making Dawn's Birthday card and a banner for her.

 

 

I wanted to make an easel card and this was the perfect opportunity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Lucky me!

 

 

April Challenge

 

 

These are the cool projects I recieved from Mum and Dawn last month.

If you remember I sent them both Owls.

 

 

Dawn made me a lovely bag with matching purse. Perfect to take with me on my summer holidays.

 

 

 

 

Mum knitted me a great scrarf, which I may not be able to use for a few months, but then again iIam going back to the UK in August... thinking about it, it may come in useful!

 

 



Cat scratcher

 

 

It's a cat's life... that's for sure!

 

 

 

I just wanted to share with you the cat scratcher Chris finished off this week.

 

The ones in the shops were so expensive ($150+), that he used off cuts of wood, bits of carpet (from dumpster diving!) and some great natural cord/string from the hardware store.

Not bad is it, well the cats like it...

 

 

 

 

 

 



Teacher Appreciation Week

 

 

Thanking Our Children's Teachers

 

 

 

This week was TA week! So everyday the kids have to mark the day by making or doing something special for their teachers... This included making them a card, wearing their favourite colour, or writing them a poem.

 

 

Friday was bring in a gift, so I made some special gifts for the teachers.

 

 

 

 

Gum ball machines

 

 

 

These were made from just a flower pot and a wooden ball which i glue gunned onto a small glass vase. I think they may have cost around $5-6, including the gum balls.

 

 

Apple cushion

 

I made the apple cushion for one of the teachers, as I know she collects all sorts of apples. I'm not sure if it's just that fact that I've had 2 teeth out recently, but sometimes when I look at this cushion it reminds me of a tooth, not an apple!!

 

 

 





April Challenge

April Challenge - Free Choice

 

 

This month we all had a free choice of what we wanted to make, so of course i chose to make OWLS!!!

 

 

I made my own pattern and had a real hoot making them.

 

 

I also made one each for the girls.

 

 

 

Mum's Owl aka "Ollie"

I also made a couple of other owly things to go with my challenge.

 

 

 

 

 

 



 



Chairs and table runners

 

 

Taking a break from cards...

 

 

I have made so many cards the last couple of weeks, I decided I needed to do some other things crafty.

 

So I recovered my kitchen chairs and made a couple of table runners.

 

 

The fabric I used to cover my chairs was from KAS.
