Good afternoon, I thought I would give baking a go, I really enjoy baking it can be quite therapeutic! I have used a Wilton nozzle for the beautiful rose swirls and then sprinkled some pink sugar on the top.

I hope you like them!

18th Birthday

Good Afternoon fellow bloggers!

I have a last minute card to blog about today.

I have used her favourite colour, cadbury's purple so had to add this together with gentle ivory card.

I started with my sentiment on the pc, the added the embossing - couture creations 'tied together', added loads of little diamontes.

A lovely satin purple signature ribbon, I used the ribbon slider to make a mock double bow, I love anything sparkly.......

The topper was made out of a overlay onto the ivory card - printed leopard print thought this made the card more up to date! I then added the lid to the box and finished it with purple glitter, diamontes, ribbon and feathers.  I added a little tag to finish so it was personalised with her name.

I made a matching box and added the ribbon and mock double bow to match the card.  

I thought rather than just putting money loose inside, I made a wallet and personalised this on the pc.

Hope you like it.....

I would love to hear your thoughts on this card.....

Mothers Day......

Good afternoon all, My card for today is for mothers day....  I actually made a mistake as I put a comma instead of an apostrophe!! lol but only noticed it after I assembled it was more worried about the die cutting and embossing.... isnt it always the way

I have used a red and white theme, I love this as it is striking together so a perfect match.  

I embossed the bottom half of the card with couture creations 'tied together' embossing folder, I then decided to add lots of pearls I think this looks lovely when the pearls are on it in the relevant places..

I have of course used a signature ribbon red organza, it has a lovely sheen to it which is hard to capture in the photo..  I printed out the sentiment onto my card then diecut it using spellbinders fleur de lys squares, i then added another of the classic squares to make the frame.

Embellishments used are a ribbon slider which I incorporated in a double bow, the flowers are from wild orchid crafts and thought it needed a further little dash of colour so added a small feather in the corner of the sentiment.

Hope you like it

I would love to hear you

Something a little different

Good afternoon all, fancied doing something different.

I found a beautiful image from saturated canary! I think everything she does is superb and perfect for the in between ages.

I have used the lovely papers from my minds eye lost and found, a beautiful diecur from memory box and the flowers, lace and charm are from my stash.

The gorgeous I image is called 'boobie love' by satuated canary and has been coloured with copics.

Hope you like it!

Would be great to hear your comments

This Years Christmas Cards

This maybe a larger than normal post, as I am  going to link this years christmas cards in one go.....

I have used lots of spellbinders dies, fancy lattice, labels 28. frosty forms, create a flake 3 and beautiful hunkydory mirror speciality mirror card.  I didnt add any ribbon :) but felt that it just looked too much for the type of style I wanted.  I frosted the flowers and added some frosty stems for decoration, the holly sprig is from a memory box die.

I have made more than one of each just for time really as I spend too much time concentrating on one...

Christmas shopping as took over I'm afraid am all in a tizzy, making sure I have all the right gifts it just seems to consume too much time.  I am hoping to have more time after the festivities to do my own thing and finally get the use out of my copics.

anyway heres the pics below, I have added in some arty shots so you can see the depth

Thanks for looking and hope all you peeps are ready for Christmas!!

I would love to hear from you.

Good Afternoon!

Flowers and of course my signature bow finished with a few diamontes and a lovely tissue lined box to showcase it in!
