Easter Wishes
I really love the little bird in the “Good Friends” set from the new 2009-10 Idea Book and Catalogue. I couldn’t wait to use it to do some paper piecing with the retro look paper featured in the Good Morning Sunshine range and the new Kiwi Kiss in-colour.
I don’t really do many Easter cards so I was really happy that this cute little bird could work as an easter chick. Combined with a sentiment from the versatile All Occasions set I think I managed to pull it off.
I know I said I would be back with some samples from the new catty but between preparing for my Open Day and New Catalogue Launch on Saturday 25 April and a quick weekend away with the family for Easter I haven’t got a lot done yet. In the meantime here is a card I made a couple of weeks ago for my nephew’s 4th birthday.
The astronaut is from Lizzie Anne Design’s “Out of this World” and has been watercoloured using the new in-colours Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss and Tangerine Tango. The spaceship paper is out of my stash and is Basic Grey I think with a base card of Pacific Point. As you can see this little guy is experiencing the low gravity on this planet and has lifted off (should have used my Stamp-a-ma-jig) but I really enjoyed the colouring on this one.
Hope you all enjoy a happy and safe easter and that the Easter Bunny has hopped into your yard.

Mixed Feelings
This week my youngest child started school. Now I was really excited about it or so I thought. I was drooling about all the extra time I would have and what I could do with it. Well as they often say “the grass is greener….” and I have found myself missing him greatly and wishing he was still at home bugging me with his non-stop chatter and endless questions. Funny isn’t it how life throws us a curve-ball now and then.
I did get a chance to stamp today though. Here is a card I whipped up using the “Polka Dot Punches” from the Sale-a-Bration promotion. Both the hearts and the sentiment have been embossed with white ep, the rest speaks for itself. I won’t bore you with the detail as it’s late and I really need to finish my ironing and prepare to go back to work tomorrow. I have included a basic supply list at the bottom of this post.
SUPPLIES:
STAMPS: Polka Dot Punches, Congrats PAPER: Basic Grey, Rose Red, Bali Breeze DSP INK: Versamark ACCESSORIES: White embossing powder, Grey Taffeta Ribbon, Dimensionals

Masculine cards
October’s stamp-a-stack featured cards for males. I often have ladies commenting on how difficult they find it to create masculine cards and they’re not the only ones. When it comes to making cards for the men/boys in my life I often find myself scratching for inspiration.
Recently while blog surfing I came across some very cute origami shirts and immediately thought about all the scrap pieces of patterned paper I have lying around. What a great way to use them up and solve at least one of my problems for male cards. So here is the finished product. When I locate the blog where I first saw them I will post a link to the folding instructions.
And here is a close up of the shirt, aren’t they just the cutest thing.
