Cute as A button!!

I've quickly whipped this little card up for a special little 4 year old that I know, using the below sketch from Clean and Simple as inspiration.

My creation isn't exactly like the sketch but all the elements are there.

I'm in love with Circle Cards!!

I'm on a roll with these circle cards at the moment. It's similar to the cupcake card I made for Makeesha's Colour Challenge last week, plus I've added in some embossing on vellum.

These cute little critters come from the Forest Friends Set available in one of last years Stampin Up mini catalogues. This is the first time I've used them. I definately think I'll be getting them out again soon. Tooo cute to leave on the shelf!!!

Celebrate...One Cupcake at a time!!

Aren't Cupcakes just beautiful little things!!Just a very short post tonight.....should have been in bed hours ago!
Here is my contributuion to Makeesha's Colour Challenge 17 .

A busy week!

This week we have enjoyed celebrating two birthdays for two special little boys. This was not only a great excuse to make kiddy cards but I also got to have fun with baking!

To help my friend Helen with the party preparations I made these little cupcakes for Kyan's 2nd Birthday Party. It's been that hot in our part of Queensland, that I had to turn the air conditioning on in the house just to keep the butter cream on the cakes. I had such a fun time decorating each little one....if they weren't so fattening I'd be making them every week!!! The very day after Kyan's party I made this cute little 1st birthday card for my friend's little boy, Patrick. The cute little elephant, giraffe and crocodile come from SU's Wild About You Set. I've teamed it with one of my favourite Design Series Papers from last year.....such a pity I can't get it anymore.

This little cutey also gave me a chance to test out the new Cutter Bee Circle Scissors from Stampin Up! I love circular cards!!! The Cutter Bee makes super clean cuts in seconds. Much better than my daggy hand scissor cut circles! Expect to see many more circle cards in the coming posts.

More Baby Cards!

The flood of baby girls continues!!!Whilst away on holidays I received the lovely news that a friend of mine had welcomed into the world a beautiful little girl, Felicity Jean. I also needed to create a baby girl card for our new family member, Lily Maree. For these two cards I cheated by using the same layout. I was also pleased to be able to use 3 of my new stamp sets: Family Favourites, Jumbo Outline Alphabet, and Big Deal Alphabet (All 3 are almost half price in the inventory clearance), plus All in the Family, Cheep Talk, with Candy Lane and Sweet Always Design Series Paper.

To add something special to these cards, I've personalised each one with their name and added little dots to the baby hearts using Crystal Effects. The layout is a simple one but I think it has turned out well!

Delivering baby gifts is such a great excuse to get special newborn cuddles!
