Say Aloha number 2

IMG_7728 (Medium)Kaisercraft say aloha paper collection from the 6″ pad, and the matching collectables for this one.I used a black cardstock base, and die cut the Birthday using a spellbinders die, and matted it on more black cardstock and fussy cut around it. A busy day today, finished off my July classes and got all my gear together ready for next weekends three day fair. I am glad all that’s done as this week is going to be very busy at work – it’s stocktake so I will be counting all week, squeeze in a class on Thursday morning, and back over to work to complete the counting Thursday afternoon.Thankfully Friday is a day off! Til tomorrow…..

younger boy cards

IMG_6505 (Medium)IMG_6507 (Medium)Younger boy cards today, the top card is made with some October Afternoon paper which was forgotten  in a drawer,and although it doesn’t show in the photos I have fussy cut a couple of the ducks to pop on top with foam pads for a bit of a 3d feel. The bottom card was also made with some paper found in the same drawer, and I can’t tell you the brand name as the identity strip had been cut off! This paper had little cute animals printed over it so I die cut a couple of them out with my spellbinders circles die, and I punched some scallop edges out of plain cardstock with my stampin up borders punch.Off to work now…til tomorrow….

A couple of special family makes

IMG_3065 (Medium)IMG_3074 (Medium)two cards today that I made with specific people in mind – that doesn’t happen often ,ususally I am making cards for classes,orders or craft fairs.The top card was for my sons’ birthday. the stamp set is from stampin up ( Guy greetings),as is the designer paper and I coloured the image with copics.My boys and husband run a wrestling company and gym so this was perfect for Daniel.The bottom card was for a kitchen tea,so I made an apron and popped a recipe card ( paper and recipe card by graphic 45 – home sweet home) in the apron pocket.Today I taught a lesson over at the retirement village, and enjoyed afternoon tea with my ladies.My sister came along to help and she gave me the new Stampin Up catalogue so I am looking forward to a night in front of the heater with my pen and notepad compiling my wishlist! Til tomorrow….
