Choo-choo.....

Hello again

Yesterday Rory had his birthday party with his little friends. I have a photo of the train cake that I made for his party. I am quite impressed with how it turned out.

Here is a card I completed a while back:

This style is called "Joy Fold". Out of all of the cards I have made this would have to be one of the easiest & fastest.

Recipe:
Stamp set: Cottage Garden
Ink: Rich Razzleberry
Cardstock: Rich Razzleberry, Orchid Opulence
Accessories: Cottage Wall DSP, Snail, Dimensionals

Thanks for taking a look,

Baby Boy no more.....

Well my baby boy celebrated his 2nd birthday yesterday (14th). He had a great day with lots of presents & even scored himself a "big boy bike" and mastered riding it in about 20 minutes....Our loungeroom floor now looks like a miniture railway with all of the Thomas The Tank Engine tracks & accessories but the boy sure does love his "choo choo's".

Here is the birthday card I made for my Rory.

I have wheeled the track on first then used my stamp-a-ma-jig to line up the train & carriages & also the present stacks. I coloured in the presents with Stampin' Pastels & blender pen. I punched out a scallop circle & & inked up my sponge with Brocade Blue ink to make the sky & clouds. Finally I used Versamark to stamp little "happy birthday" all over the white spaces on the card.

Recipe: Stamp set: Choo Choo (retired), Right on track wheel(retired), Happy Moments (retired)

Ink: Brocade Blue, basic black, Versamark

Cardstock: Whisper white, Brocade Blue

Accessories: Stampin' around handle, Stampin' Pastels, snail, Blender Pens, Scallop circle punch, sponges, Stamp-a-ma-jig

And here is the train cake he had after his family birthday dinner. He is having a party on Saturday & I will show you the cake I made for it after the party.

The final picture is of my gorgeous 2 year old boy Rory.

Thanks for taking the time to read my blog,

My first entry on my brand spanking new blog!!

Well here goes. I have decided to start a blog of my own after months & months of blog surfing (usually instead of housework!!). I will be using my blog to share my creations & sometimes my thoughts about this crazy world we live in & also my gorgeous family. My kids both have their birthdays coming up so I will have some cards & cakes to show off too.

Here is my first creation to show the world, it is made with SU products & is an Easel style card that seems to be all the rage at the moment.

Stamp set: Occassional Greetings
Inks: Old Olive, Versamark

Accessories: Bella Rose DSP, Mat Pack, Paper Piercing tool, Spiral punch, 1-3/8 circle & 1-1/4 circle punches, clear embossing powder, Snail adhesive, 1/4" whisper white grosgrain ribbon, "earth elements" brads.
