Sweet 16................


Hello..............Its my daughter birthday today , Sweet 16 
I'd like to show you the cake shape box I made for her.


I had started making this box when I saw this weeks challenge at 'The Shabby Tea Room'


Look at this gorgeous photo to be  inspired by.......add ribbon or lace and flowers.
I can imagine my slice of cake being part of this pretty garden party setting:)

I used Sweet Tooth cartridge to cut the box.


Can you see the little Tea pot, next to the deeper  pink flower? This was an earing.


I cut some cute strawberries from the 'Spring Cottage' cartridge to put in the box with her gift.
I used 'Flower Shoppe' for the flower and 'Picturesque' for the leaves. 


And here's her card with a big glittery 16.


I'm not sure if you can read it or not........above the 16 is another earing , that says Sweet. 



I'd also like to enter my Cake box in "Exploring Cricut"........Its a Box challenge. I have just found this blog, head over there and check out the really cool creations the DT have made.

Its getting late, I must go to bed...........the rest of my week is very busy. 
Tori is 16 today and my son turns 18 on Sunday.
We have family visiting.........I still need to make an 18 birthday card and I've got lots of baking to do. I'm tied just thinking about it! 
Should be FUN

Enjoy you week........thank you so much for stopping by

Rain Rain Go Away.......

April Showers is the theme for "Stuck on U Sketches" this Friday.
I have so much fun with these die cut challenges.....using cartridges that have not seen the light of day for a little while:)

LOOK.... the perfect photos..............It rained so heavy that part of our backyard flooded! As you can see, my son had so much fun playing in all the water. 


Here are a few close ups of some of the die cuts.


I can't remember the last time I saw a lovely green tree frog ! In Queensland we have lots of Cane Toads..........so this little guy is one of them. I tryed to make him  pretty ugly, just like the real thing! LOL.


These are the cricut cartridges I used..........

Rain Rain Go Away , Child and duck - Nursery Rhymes
Sun and Clouds - Create a Critter
Frog - Four Legged Friends
Scallop border - Art Philosopy
Fence - Heritage

I hope you can join us for this challenge........I look forward to seeing what you create:)

The weather forecast for the weekend is rain...........I hope they are wrong.

4 YOU..............

Hello............Look at these pretty cup cakes!
 This is the photo inspiration at 'The Shabby Tea Room"
This weeks challenge  is Birthday Bash..........we need to include a cupcake on our creation.

 

I love cup cakes...........so I just had to find the time to play along:)
This is what I came up with.......


 Cup Cake on a plate!



 I used 'Art Philosophy' cartridge to make the easel card .....using my Gypsy I welded the cupcake to the scallop circle . 


I love this rolled flower .........and look how cute the little tag is! The scallop border under the pom pom is also on the cartridge.


 Art Philosophy has so many creative features...........it has doilies too! 
And you know how much I love them:)


I hope my friend likes her cupcake birthday card.

Thank you soooooooo much for visiting

Spring is in the Air.............

 Its Autumn here.......but on the other side of the world its Spring. 
This is the theme for the latest Die cut challenge at
"Stuck on You Sketches"


The pattern paper is 'Lil Primrose' by Kaiser......I love the soft colours. All the shapes hanging were cut with George using the charm feature. I used Flower shoppe for the flowers , Spring - Gypsy Wanderings and the scallop border at the top of the page I used Art philosophy. The doilies are Cheery Lyn - English Tea.

And..........the close ups. 
I tried to make my  flowers  similar to the ones in the pattern paper:)



'Nanne' is sponsoring this months challenge............Look at these gorgeous flowers she has made for the lucky winner.


We would love to see your  SPRING  creations.........hope you can join us HERE.
Head over to 'Stuck on You Sketches' to see the fabulous layouts and cards the rest of the DT have created.

 Happy Easter
