Sk8er Birthday Boy

My little Demi was sick today :( so we both stayed home together and rested, and managed to do some crafting.

I made a card for a school friend of Mia's, to whose party she has been invited to tomorrow. Here it is...

And here is the matching bag that I made...

The little sk8er boy image is perfect for little boys. He was stamped onto watercolour paper with black StazOn ink and coloured with SU markers and a blender pen. The sentiment is from Up & Away. I have no idea about the paper - sorry!Cardstock colours used were Crumb Cake, Bravo Burgundy, Night of Navy and More Mustard. The circles were cut with the Circle Scissors and circle punches. The letters on the bag were cut with the Simple Letters Alphabet dies.

Well, hopefully we'll all be off to bed early tonight so we can all be rested and feeling up to scratch for the weekend. Don't forget that Daylight Savings ends this Sunday 1 April 2012, at 3:00 am when clocks will be put back one hour. I have to say that I'm not looking forward to the dark mornings and afternoons. :(

Catch you again soon.

Focus on the Uniform

I'm back as promised with another layout of Demi's first day at school, this time with a focus on her uniform...

Again, I wanted the photos to stand out on their own so I added just a few accents, by way of punchies, die cut letters for the title, and some images from the Sew Suite stamp set.

Colours used were Night of Navy, So Saffron and Crumb Cake.

I still have quite a number of photos to scrap so I hope to get started on those soon & I'll be sure to share them with you once they're done.

Until then, take care.

Wednesday's Post

Well, I'm right on schedule with my third post of the week. Have you fallen over yet? Take it all in because it may not happen again for a very long time. Ha ha...

Surprise, surprise (not!), it's another Mr Birdie card!


The supplies used are almost the same as for yesterday's card so I won't retype them.

Hope to see you again tomorrow!

Remember Me?

Remember me? No? Well, I don't blame you. What a crazy time these last few months have been. Hopefully, now that school has started again & everyone is back into their routines, things will start to settle down.

Here are a couple of masculine cards that I made quite some weeks ago but didn't get around to posting until now...

Stamps sets used were Sense of Time and Vintage Labels from the upcoming Sale-a-Bration catalogue. The large circles were cut using the Circle Scissors from the Summer Mini catalogue. This tool is fantastic!

The smaller circles & the oval shapes were punched out.

Colours used were Sahara Sand, Very Vanilla & Chocolate Chip. Ink pads used were Chocolate Chip & VersaMark. The Tearing Edge (another great tool) was used to tear the cardstock evenly.

The finishing touch were some silver brads.

Well, I hope you're all off to a great start this year. Take care & I hope to be back soon.

Andrea.
