At last a Wedding project

Hi everyone and thank you to the girls who came to class last night it was nice to change my focus for a few hours.

So I thought I would share with you one of the projects I have done for the wedding.

I wanted somewhere a little quirky with a vintage feel for guests to place their cards.  I created a false bottom in an old suitcase and added a little banner.

Now it's finished I wish I had used pale blue and not pink for the false bottom, but it's done now :)

If I have time I'll try to share a few other little things, but time is flying by!

Cards anyone?

I have been away from here busy with all the Christmas and then wedding projects.  I'll share some pictures soon.  I hope you are all well and enjoying the beginning of a new year. 

I thought I would offer a card class next Wednesday night the 18th January, 7pm in my home workshop.

This is a class I ran at Daisy Chain Scrapbooks last month and I have some kits leftover.   Cost of the class including kit is $20.00.  Places will be limited to the leftover kits so be quick and shoot me an email at blossie72@hotmail.com to book a place.

Oh Christmas Tree

Do you ever find a good idea and get stuck on it?  That is what has happened to me with these lovely christmas tree cupcakes by Bakerella.

Here is my version.

I have made a couple of batches now for gifts and they are so much fun.  I have used fruit cake and vanilla cupcakes.  I found mini ice cream cones at the supermarket, which saved me cutting them like Bakerella describes.  I also used royal icing on the cake and the cone, this dries crisp and keeps well. 

I hope you are all having fun with your Christmas preparations. 

Christmas BonBons

Thank you for all your lovely comments!  It's nice to know you are still out there and checking my blog.

So here is the first Christmas project I would like to share.

I had fun making these and filling them with goodies for Christmas day.  I was stuck matching red card to the pretty ribbon I was using.  Then inspiration stuck and I used the packaging from the gift I was putting inside.

Oooh sorry about this photo.

The card behind the photo was actually a perfect colour match and a lovely flocked finish.

I hope this inspires you to think outside the square for supplies.

I'm Back

Hello, anyone who is still out there :) Life has been very jam packed lately but I am finally finding a little time to be creative again.

Next Saturday 17th Dec I have a class at Daisy Chain Scrapbooks. It runs from 10am until 12.30. Here is a sneak peek of the cards we will be making.

Just contact the girls at Daisy Chain to book your place.

I'll be back soon to show you some of my Christmas cooking and crafting.

Christmas is sneaking up on us!

Hi everyone, things have been a bit quiet here as I concentrate on my prac placement.  I'm halfway through now.  Only three more weeks.  Only two months till Christmas and three months until my wedding. Aaaaaaaah!  So with all that in mind I have planned to run the same Christmas card class as I ran at Daisy Chain Scrapbooks here at my place this Monday night.

So if you would like to come along this Monday night 31st October at my home.  The class will run from 7pm -9pm and cost is $20.  Just send me an email at blossie72@hotmail.com

Stephen's Birthday!

Last week we celebrated Stephen's Birthday.  I thought you might like to see the card and cake I made him.

 
It's always hard to create a card for a man, so when I saw this idea on Jennifer McGuire's Blog I ran with it.  I just fossicked in my stash to find all the bits and pieces.

 
The cake was another practice run for the wedding cake :) 

I have to go now and work on more assignments.  Only another two weeks of Uni and I'm off on my first prac. placement in a school.  Wow those 8 weeks few by!

Have a lovely Sunday!

M.I.A.

Sorry I've been missing in action for the past few weeks.  Thanks to all of you who continue to stop by here. 

I have lots going on,but one thing at a time is what I keep telling myself.  So the most important order of business is this Monday nights class.

 
We will be making these cute cards here at my place this Monday night the 26th September at 7pm.  The cost is $20 for an all inclusive kit so just send me an e-mail blossie72@hotmail.com  if you would like to come along.

September classes at Daisy Chain

Hi everyone, time is flying by and already we are in September.  I have some lovely cards using vellum coming up at Daisy Chain Scrapbooks on the 17th.

 
I am teaching in two time slots once in the morning and again in the afternoon, so give the friendly staff at Daisy Chain Scrapbooks a call to book in.

Happy Birthday Marlene!

It's Marlene's (Stephen's Mum) Birthday today.  I made her a pretty cake.  

I think everyone is going to get a fancy cake for the next few months as I practice for my wedding cake.  I learnt a lot from this one :) I made the cute banner using my new Stampin Up banner punch.

 
 

And just in case you thought I had forgotten how to make cards...

 
this is the card I made.
Hope you have a lovely Birthday Marlene.
