. . . it is time . . .

We all love a card making opportunity. He are are the cards Lachlan and I made for Kira's birthday.  From a loving brother . . .  and from a loving mother. Then there were the invitations for . . .    four friends to come over for a swim and cake. The cake looked very like the one in the  Women's Weekly Children's Birthday Cake Book. Supplies: Cards - SU stamps, ribbon and cardstock; PTI dies; various stamps. Cake - Squinkies surf board & folk; leggo ladder and marble 'beach balls'.

I have been pottering away and making a few cards for a variety of activities.  Here is a catch up on them. Welcome to the Graduate Nurses of 2012 I saw the design on  splitcoaststampers . I didn't have the matching ribbon, so I improvised by colouring some cheap organza ribbon with the matching inkpad and stampin' write. It is a lovely design and lends itself to great variety with my much loved but seldom used jumbo wheels. Supplies: SU jumbo wheel & card stock; various stamps - source unknown; vintage clock - Kassazz.

I was asked if I would make some cards for  International Women' Day (8 March) . I was pleased I had just picked up an order of the Stampin' Up 2012 In Colour Patterns Designer Series Paper.  My design was inspired by Candy Butterflies by  Judy May . I will be taking them to work tomorrow.  I hope she likes them as much as I enjoyed making them :) Supplies: Stampin' Up 2012 In Colour , DSP & Beautiful Wings embosslit; nestabilities-labels twelve.
