Wedding invitations

My brother who has recently moved from London to Australia, is getting married in Feb 2011 in Tauranga, New Zealand.
He and his fiancee Cherie asked if I would make thier wedding invitations. Thanks to modern technology i.e. skype, we were able to go back and forth with ideas and designs and come up with something they really liked. The theme for the wedding is picnic and New Zealand so we have incorporated red gingham ribbon and photos of NZ fauna....
I made 45 invites and 50 thank you cards.... all boxed up and posted today....

Congratulations card from a friend

I finished my study this week, after 1 1/2 years studying towards the National Diploma in Business Administration. I am very pleased to have completed and with results for all courses being A+'s!

Here is a lovely card made especially for me from my friend Rel, she is so very thoughtful and kind. It has a big congratulations inside too. She's so thoughtful as has made the card using my favourite colours, pink and blue and with the beautiful new butterfly set. It's such a pretty card and very well designed, check out her blog on my links to see other lovely cards she has been making...
Thanks Rel!

Inspired by Nature

With such stormy weather it's been a great start to a creative weekend, I have managed to knit 2 scarves and make 12 cards so far!

Here I have used my new stampset - Inspired by nature....

MOJO142

After having the day off on Monday for Queen's Birthday weekend, I forgot that it was not monday today and in fact tuesday, which for us here in New Zealand, that means Mojo Monday (Tuesday)!

This time I used a st4ampset I haven't used for a long time, all in the family....

swallows and flowers

Here are some cards using the new swallow stamp I bought from the Dunkleys craft fair this weekend...

I also tried making a flower using round scallops, I quite like these.

And another card using the cuttlebug quilling flower - rose....

Cuttlebug quilling flower

Another little purchase from the craft fair, cuttlebug quilling flower die , comes with two styles of flower, carnation and rose...

Gingerbread house treat box

Here is another treat box, I used the birdhouse template and changed where I cut out for the windows and door etc....The bottom opens so you can put treats in, it's a tight fit so they shouldn't fall out either if hung up... The buttons are a sizzix die (set of 4) I have had these for ages but have hardly used.... I figured they kinda look like lollies!!!
