Berry Basket - Baby gift.

Love this Berry Basket Die, so easy to put together.

  I've used the Berry Basket Die to make a baby gift for my lovely niece who expecting her first baby.

(Update - Baby Ava has arrived right on time. Mother and baby are doing well. The father, well he's still in shock.)

 I've stamped tone on tone butterflies on the basket and added a couple of doilies for a soft pretty look.

It fits 3x3 note cards perfectly.

Using up DSP from my stash to make the perfect size envelopes with the Envelope Punch Board.

Launch Party Fun.

We had so much fun at the Launch Party yesterday. Such a great group of ladies. Here is a little sample of what we did. Door prizes made from the Card Base Pop 'n Cuts die with the Soho Subway DSP. Julie and I had a play with this new die a few days ago and discovered it makes a really cute  and easy gift bag. We had a great time playing that day, thanks Julie.  

 Congratulations to Kathy and Freda who won the Door Prizes.

 The goodie bags that everyone received, filled with some new product to take home to play with. These bags where made from the packaging paper scrunched up in the Stampin' Up! order box.  Stamped in the new In Colours 2013-2015 with the Morning Meadow Hostess Set and the Label Love set.

 Embellished with a Tea Lace Paper Dollie, Hung Up Cute clips and a punched out butterfly. Don't you just love those cute paper clips!

Next post I will show you the cards we made using some of the new stamp sets. 

Thank you to everyone who came along and everyone who brought something  yummy for  afternoon tea. It wouldn't have been the same without you.

Gifts from Julie.

My lovely and good friend Julie H has been playing with her Scallop Square die, her Big Shot and fabric and came up with some amazing decorator ideas / gifts. I was very lucky to receive a few of the beautiful items she made. And it's not anywhere near my birthday.

She made this stunning Door Stop using the Scallop Square die and Spice Cake Designer Fabric. Hope you can see all the detail because it really is stunning.

I also received a pair of Scented Shoe Inserts also made with the Scallop Square die and the Butterfly die. They are made to go inside your shoes to keep them smelling lovely or they could hang in the wardrobe but I think they are way to good to hide away so have them on my dressing table where I see them everyday and smell the lovely lavender smell. 

Thank you for spoiling me Julie, you are totally amazing.

Credit to my daughter Rebecca for taking these fantastic photo's for me with her I-Phone, well done. I think I will get her to take all the photo's for me in future.

Happy Birthday Mum.

Hi, hope you all had a great weekend. It's my Mum's birthday so we had a big party for her on the weekend. Everyone came and we had lots of yummy food and lots and lots of delicious cake. I decorated a canvas board for everyone to write a special message for her, which she loved.

 The colour combo was taken from the napkins we had and the cake and house were decorated in the same colour theme, Baja Breeze, Old Olive, River Rock and Black. I've used the Pennant Parade stamp set with the Petite Pennants Builder Punch, Big Shot dies -Blossom Party, Hearts & Brackets and Beautiful Wings, Pearl and Rhinestone Jewels and little bits of ribbon.
Here are a couple of close ups.

And here is the matching  Birthday card I made for her.

Thanks for visiting today.

Sparkely Reindeer.

Good morning, I just have to show you this gorgeous Reindeer gift jar I received from Maree. He is so cute and Maree did a fantastic job of making him. So much work involved. I love his nose and how she glittered his antlers. Thanks so much Maree.

Here is the back view, she even glittered his tail. It was full of yummy Christmas Chocolates but I ate some before I tool the photo's. :)

Hope your enjoying the holidays.

Yummy, Yummy.

Hi, I just popped in to show you this gorgeous photo frame Julie made me for my birthday. I'm am so lucky to have such creative, good friends. Julie took the photo's of Zach eating a huge chocolate bar at my nieces 21st a few months ago. He was enjoying it so much. There is a lot of fine detail in it that is hard to see my this photo, she did such a fantastic job.

Thanks so much Julie, you know how much I love it.

Thanks Karen.

I've been meaning to show you this for a while now. A gift from my stampin friend Karen, check out her new blog design it's awesome. It's a CD holder with a CD of photo's from Convention. Although I did take lots of photo's at Convention it is really good to have more from a different perceptive and even some photo's of me. Thanks so much Karen.

CD Holder.

Hi, I have been meaning to show you this for a while now. I made this CD Holder with photo's from the 2010 Stampin' Up! Convention for the Passion 4 Paper girls that where unable to attend. To show them what they missed out on. ;) I also made a couple extra for good friends Karen & Natasha. The inspiration came from Shannon West. I used the Circle Scissor Plus, the Life Definitions stamp Set, the Simple Serif Mini alphabet & Numbers set and on the inside one of the images from the Tiny Tags set in the Autumn-Winter Mini Catalogue.

Hope your having a great week.

Note Book.

Just want to quickly show you the Thank you gift I made for my Convention room mate Nicole. As it was her very first Convention I thought a note book would come in handy for her. I also made one for myself and I filled up quite a lot of pagers.

Thank you Julie.

I had a great day Scrappin' yesterday, 4 pagers in one day, that's a record for me. I had been sorting out my mountain of photo's during the week , now that was a huge job. So I now a have a box of photo's I want to scrap. I bet I'm not the only one. And with having my new alphabet dies I had plenty of motivation. I haven't taken photo's yet but I will start to post them in the next day or so.

I have been meaning to get this gorgeous DVD cover up here to show you for a while now. This was made for me by my good friend Julie . She is so talented and a whizz on the computer. Julie had also made a DVD with photo's from the last Regionals with music. I am very impressed with this as I am hopeless on the computer. :) And have no idea how to do things like this.

Thank you so much Julie.

Party Cake.

My post tonight is a bit late, I had to watch "So you think you can Dance". Way to go Robbie! Love that show.

So you can't have a party without a cake and this is the cake I made for the Launch Party. Pale Plum, Rich Razzelberry & Soft Suede. Yummy colour combination. Using the flowers from the Vintage Vogue stamp set. I have always wanted to make one of these ever since I saw Debbie's Christmas cake back in December 2008. You can check it out at Hubby"s Headache here. And then in 2009 she made a very yummy looking fruit cake see here. Thank you for your inspiration Debbie.

Everyone that attended the Launch Party got to take a slice of cake home, full of goodies as a thank you. Thank you I hope you all enjoy your cake.

Baby talk.

Here he is, my new nephew just 5hrs old in this photo. Isn't he cute! I know some of you have been waiting for me to post the card I made for him & his Mum & Dad but I'm sorry to tell you I forgot to take a photo of it.... But I did make a set of baby thank you cards for a baby shower gift  much the same. The only difference is my nephew's card was made in Baja Brezze. My friend is having a baby girl so her thank you cards are made in Pinks & Pumpkin. Ok here are some pic's for you.

I made her a set of 20 baby thank you cards with matching envelopes all in a cute gift bag. Using the Fox & Friends stamp set in the Autumn-Winter Mini. This set is so cute.

 

The DSP is Sweet Always and I've used the scallop edge punch, scallop circle punch & 1 3/8" circle punch.

Also used white gel pen, brads and Polka Dot background stamp.

I'm off to do a few last minute things before the Launch Party tomorrow, exciting. If your coming I'll see you then.

Backpack for Alyssa.

I had seen this very cute backpack around on blogs and Splitcoast a while ago and loved it so much that when Alyssa's Birthday came around it was the perfect opportunity to make one. The little cupcakes and flowers are from the Short & Sweet stamp set. I put her pressie inside and her card in the front pocket. Click here for instructions for the back pack over at Splitcoast Stampers.

Alyssa love it too, and being very creative she made one herself. ( Well done Alyssa and I hope you had a fantastic birthday.)
