My weekend jaunt

Our very best friends who live in New Zealand invited us to their 50th Wedding Anniversary. We could not say no to such a milestone. So we had to make a few quick changes in class timetables and book rental cars and flights.

It was only a short visit Thursday to Monday but I wouldn't have missed it for the world. We laughed and we cried and caught up on over 40years of memories. Now what do you give a couple who have everything? I decided to make a heap of Thank You cards for them. I needed a box to hold them and so I upscaled our lovely Paper Angel, Anna's box pattern to make it fit my cards. I scanned the invitation photo and then did a bit of playing around on the computer to get it to sit just so. I then printed the pieces out on Sahara Sand Card. The little cards were made using Sahara Sand card and Stamped then punched out with the little Curly Label punch. They loved them.

Invitations to 'owl about

Ha ha bet you wondered what you were looking at with a title like that. I was just trying to be a wee bit creative. I made these invitations for a very sweet little one year old.

Isn't it just the cutest. I really love the Builder owl punch. Of course I couldn't just hand them over in a plastic bag so I decided to try and recycle some of our yards and yards of brown paper that we get with our packaging. I made the paper bag and then using the Simply Scored plate I scored and pleated the top of the bag and then pulled it together like a fan. Then with the Big Shot (did I mention I love my Big Shot) I cut out some flowers from the Fun Flowers Bigz L die and added to the front.

Card stock: Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Early Expresso, Whister White
Designer Series paper: Pocketful of Posies
Tools: Owl builder punch, Big Shot, Fun Flowers Bigz L die, Paper Crimper

Sweet friend

As well as a nice bunch of flowers from my husband for Valentines Day I also got this cute little woven heart from Liz.

 She wove these two lovely papers together and popped a yummy chocky inside. It was very clever how she made the ribbon. She snipped down the middle and then ripped it apart. This caused it to fray. Doesn't it look sweet.

A day of silliness

What a crazy, fun day I had yesterday at the Brisbane Bayside Papercraft Group. Thanks ladies for such a silly day. I had huge intentions of doing a pile of Punch Art to put into an example folder. The mood of the day changed all that.

I did however make two lovely cards demonstrated by our lovely Liz.

Today one of them is going to a close friend as a 50th card.
They were made from the FREE products that everyone can get during February & March.
