Butterfly House

This was inspired by some Basic Grey Paper and is 11.5cm high.

Bird House

This little house is 8.5cm high. I even lined the inside and put a bird on the back wall. I put the roof through a Cuttlebug embossing folder.

Little Houses

I am having lots of fun making up these little houses from "Collections".

I have made some Christmas themed ones for presents. The tallest house is 8cm .

Birthday Mail

I belong to an online stamping community here is Australia called "Stamp Happy" and I participate in the Birthday RAK list. Well my birthday is not actually until the end of the month but already I am receiving wonderful cards from fellow stampers.

These are from Mary Fenton, Linda Aldred(the image is stamped on mirror like gold card stock ) and Gayle Moessinger. Many thanks to these ladies for starting my month off so nicely.

Chocolate Moo

Many thanks to all those who left comments on my chocolate Moo...universal thing the love of chocolate it seems ...:)

Collections Christmas Village

I went to a class on saturday morning to learn how to make these cute little 3D Collections houses and a Christmas Village layout to put them on. It was to be a 3 hour class we went over by about 1 hour and still there was more work to be done to complete the project! It took me a couple of hours extra when we were at Phillip Island and I still need to add one more embellishment to the first house. I did not get see any completed works as I had to leave and well everyone else still had more to do on their projects too!

The houses are an amazing work of construction and if you follow the instructions come out perfectly. I plan to make some more on different themes.

Wedding Card

My daughter Emily came to me at about 10.30pm last night...."Mum can you please make me a card my friend's wedding? " "When do you need it?" "Tomorrow!"

At this point I was busy packing all the gear needed for a 3 hour class and the clothes and food needed to go away for the weekend, (straight after the class.)

"Can I put a photo on the card?" Sure you give me the photo, no do not ask me to print it...go see your father he is the expert in such things. Little details like colour and composition are now spinning round in my head, crowding out all the other things I was thinking about in preparation for my class.

I went to bed at 11.45pm and left them to it.

I awoke at 6am and found the photos sitting on my desk. Here it is a couple of hours and a nasty dose of heartburn later.
