more birthdays

The end of the year seems to be a busy time of year for birthdays for our family. Must get a move on and get my cards made!

These are two I've made this week. Received my first parcel from joining a Stamping Up Stampers 10. This set will be great for those men who I never know what to do for. The card was made very quickly, but looks cute - will practise more to perfect the design!

It's my nephew's first birthday next week, so it will be a very special day for him. Made this lion card with one of the new Sugar Nellie stamps.

Halloween

Well - kids have enjoyed halloween this year, it seems to have gone on for days with parties on Wed, Thurs, Fri and 2 today. Had great intentions on what I was going to make for them this year, but time has dissappeared and only made 4 very quick halloween cards. Ordered two magnolia stamps - the vampire and witch with spider - unfortunately the witch was out of stock and hasn't arrived yet so will keep it for next year when it does arrive. Here's the card I did get around to making.

Christmas is coming

Finally got round to updating the blog - may try and put a few things on over the next few days.

Heres the advent boxes I've made - both my kids have quilted ones which I put little presents in, but they do love a chocolate so this is the solution. Each drawer has a dairy milk miniature in it.

First of Many

Just had a look through my calender and it looks like everyone has a birthday between now and the end of the year. I've made a list of cards I need and have made this one for my son's friend whos birthday is on Monday. The image is SK8R boy by Sugar Nellie which I borrowed from a friend. Think he will feature in quite a few of the boys cards. Have to go and see whos next!

Happy Birthday

On a roll today - finnished another card, this one for my niece's birthday. I love these sugar nellie stamps. Seems to be one for every occassion.

Thanks

A quick card for my son to give to his swimming teacher as she moves on to University. I've used a magnolia stamp from the summer collection and coloured it with my promarkers (not quite up to them yet, but will keep practising!) Paper is from a stack by DCWV.

Wow 30 years!

Just heard my friend has reached 30 years in her job so thought she deserved a card!

Used my sugar nellie "sweet and sassy" stamp coloured with my watercolour pencils.
