Miss 4s Birthday Cake

Hi everyone, i know this is so not stamp related, but I wanted to share with you all this gorgeous birthday cake that was made for my niece Georgias 4th birthday party, which by the way was a fairy theme. It was even more special as a family friend made it for her. It was a yummy cake but the thing that impressed me the most was the attention to detail. The front of her dress was gorgeous with little white flowers with little white pearls in each of them. and the pink icing on her dress was just perfect. And if you look just a little closer on the bottom of her dress on the left hand side of the picture there is the tiniest little gold number 4 representing Georgias 4th birthday, just too gorgeous.

Thank you Michelle for making her the most gorgeous cake and it was more than anyone imagined.- Just fabulous!

Happy Birthday Dad

It was dads birthday on Fri, but we are celebrating today - yep after my nieces 4th Birthday, so I know this card was on my old blog but it was made from a challenge with dad in mind, and i kept it for his birthday - hows that for being organised lol, very unusual i know!! Anyway dad is the main bbq chef in our family so thought this was appropriate. Hope you like:


The BBQ is covered in crystal effects to make it really shiny like the webber. I used the double slit punch and threaded paper through the slits.
Anyway i hope you had a happy birthday dad, and happy celebrations too!

A Scrapbooking Sunday Sketch Challenge

I love the fact that Sue has a Sunday sketch for scrapbooking over at Swap Sisters, it gets me back to doing what i truly love best and that is Scrapbooking.
Anyway except for the two champagne flute brads, all the rest is Stampin' up! Product, and I love it....

The inner circle has been cut with a round nestabilitie and roughened up around using the cutter kit. The outer scallop is also a nestabilitie run through the big shot machine and has had the edges inked in pretty in pink ink to match the cardstock.

Ink pad: Kiwi Kiss

Cardstock: Basic black, whisper white, pretty in pink, Kiwi Kiss

DSP: Raspberry Tart

Other: Black Grosgrain, Top Note die, Big Shot, Scallop edge punch, cutter kitck Journalling Pen. Oh and a dinner plate to create the main circle.

A sketch layout for you?

Here is a layout for a sketch over at Swap Sisters last week, the top note die area is used for journalling and there are two blank mattings for photos. I started with black cardstock, then very vanilla, the black section that runs vertically on the right has been versamarked and then embossed in black embossing powder, I love that look, it turned out beautifully. I then used Rich Razzleberry underneath the black:

the stamp set is a new one which will be available on the 1st April and it is called Cottage Garden. It is a gorgeous stamp set.

This flower is made with scallop circle punches, very vanilla cardstock stamped with enfrancais in black, and black cardstock. A long process to make these gorgeous flowers but oh so worth it, and worth making in bulk!

All products are Stampin' Up! except for the little swirl dies and they aer from sizzix, but still run through the big shot machine. Everything else is available for purchase through me.
