Cupcake banner!

Hello everybody, 

How are you all? I have been busy getting into my routine. This year my children's school has their big school fete. Of course, we are going to have a craft stall and I am busy busy getting things organised for the stall. One of the item for the stall is banners. So I have started making a few and here is one. I have used Papertrey Ink's cupcake die to make this banner.

Here are the closeups. I choose bright colors and embossed the cake using cuttlebug polka dot to give texture.

 Aren't the buttons yummy? Love this banner especially if you have a cupcake themed birthday for kids. Oh, Yum!

I have also made couple of banners with Baby Onesie die and they are at school. I forgot to take photos of them. Will have to wait for a few days to get access to them and take photos.

Anyway, Guess what? we are getting a puppy!!! Yay!

One of the school teacher has  pure breed cocker spaniel pup litter. We went and saw them yesterday and could not say no. Absolutely CUTE with long soft hairy ears and big beady eyes Aww!. There were two boys and one girl. The girl was already choosen by another person. We had a tough time choosing one out of the two boys but we did. He is 8 weeks old and weaned off as well. We are bringing him home this evening. My kids are still in shock because we kept saying no to dogs for such a long time and one fine evening out of nowhere we said yes we can get one. lol! I still cannot believe it that my DH said yes but its true.  He is going to be called Charlie. Will take some photo and share tomorrow.

See ya soon!
Luv!

Card Patterns #126

Hello all, I am back again...... So happy to feel better and back on track. Thanks so much all your get well wishes. I must say they did help me to think positive and focus towards getting better because I was starting to get stressed out and depressed. Now I am so positive for me and my kids as well :)

I am also thrilled and honoured that my card here was featured on the out and about lineup at Moxie Fab World.  My motivation is quiet high at the moment.lol!

I made a card set today. And for one of the cards, I used Card Patterns sketch #126. Here is the sketch for you.

Here is the card.

I have used papers from Bo Bunny's Gabrielle collection, including the 3D chipboard element. The card stock is from Papertrey Ink. The lace from a shop at Etsy. The paper rose is from Kaisercraft. 

I love the Gabrielle collection papers from Bo Bunny. The color combination, the botanical designs, lots and lots of damask and text on the paper. Just gorgeous! Of course, love the gorgeous sparkly butterflies. I could not get enough of them and therefore I made a card set. Here are the other two cards.

With these two cards, I have used Papertrey Ink's dies to create the focal point for the sentiment.

Hope you like this set 'cas I love them :)

Have a great week!

Luv!

Getting into the rhythm....

Hi everybody,

I didn't realise that when I wrote I will away for a week, it would become three weeks instead. We were away to Sydney on the first week of school holidays when kids fell sick with flu followed by both me and my DH. We are just recovering from the flu. The fatigue after the flu is exhausting and the cough is till persistant. I am trying to get back into the rhythm but I think it will take a week more before we are 100% normal  and get back into the rhythm.

I received the Go to Sketches mag as a prize from Moxie Fab World  during the school holidays and its fantastic. All the sketches and inspirations are just beautiful. I so want to try out the sketches one by one. I was browsing through the Moxie Fab World blog and love the Botanical trend challenge. So I tried to make a card for the challenge. At the moment, I am mojoless. Seriously!  I am finding it hard to get my head to think creatively  lol! Anyway, here is what I made.

I used Pink Paislee's Butterfly collection pattern paper and 3D stickers. Sentiment stamp is from Papertrey Ink's Commnique Sentiments and cardstocks are also from Papertrey Ink. I wanted the beautiful botanical picture to the focal point.  A CAS card. Hope you like it. 

I am hoping to restart my card making soon. And I also want to see Harry Potter and  Jim Carry's Mr. Popper's Penguin. But it got to wait a few more days, I guess! My head is still spinning and generally exchausted. Feel so bad for my kids. My DD went back to school today. Teacher said she look so tired and could not tolerate the noise level that she had a headache. Teacher told her to sleep in the afternoon and now after coming back from school, she went straight to bed. She is just so exhausted.Poor girl. Its a bad bad virus!!!!

I can't wait for spring to come. I want sunshine and colors so there is some happiness and energy at home. Glad to have blogged today. Thanks for reading through!

You all have a great day! See ya soon.

Card Patterns #122

I have a card share today made using Card Pattern Sketch #122. This is the sketch.

Here is my card. This time I tried to do a shabby chic style.

I used Pink Paislee's Butterfly Collection papers, Kaisercraft's Secret Bird Society chipboard, sentiment from PTI, button brad from Basic Grey, cardstock from SU, ribbons from my stash.

I love the color contrast on my card. Hope you like it too.

Last day of school today.  2 weeks of term holidays for the children and of course for me too lol! No more waking up early and rush rush mornings and evenings (Sigh!) More relaxed and fun days ahead. Can't wait :)  I will not be blogging for a week. I will see you  in a week's time :)

Happy School Holidays :)

Luv!
