Whimsical Butterflies and a tasty treat
I love Garden Whimsy and I haven’t had a play with it for ever so long! So today when I needed to whip up a card and some little love notes as a thank you to our neighbours for hosting a BBQ I pulled it out and had a play.
This first picture shows the card and a little double pocket pouch bag with the love notes inside.
The next picture is of the love notes themselves. I didn’t get a picture of the stamped envelopes as my camera batteries died just after taking the picture of the desert I made.
On both the Card & the Love Notes I used:
Stamps: Garden Whimsy, Circle of Friendship & Short & Sweet (technique is Rock ‘n’ Roll)
Ink: Bashful Blue, Old Olive
Cardstock: Whisper White, Bashful Blue, Old Olive
Other: Label Punch, Circle Punches, Soft Subtle Brads, Old Olive Wide Grosgrain & Paper Piercing
Now as the neighbours were so kind as to host the event today I made some desert to take along. I was happy with how it looked so I took a picture to show you all!! I must say my ability to produce anything out of the kitchen at the moment is a bit of a miracle as my brain function is certainly not at full capacity at the moment!! Bring on the Birth!!
Ok, I’ll be back tomorrow with some updated pictures of how the craft room is coming along for those of you who are interested!! The baby’s room is all done and I’ve just got a wee bit more laundry to do for it, make some curtains and we’re all done!! No rest for the wicked!!
Take Care & until next time,
Happy Stamping

Sketch Challenge!!
Woo hoo!! I stamped!! I stamped!! I can’t believe I stamped!! AND what’s even more exciting was that it was just for fun!! Can you imagine???? Gosh, it feels like forever since I made something just because I wanted to!!
Last week when I was in Warwick I stole borrowed My Mums Lovely As a Tree Stamp set! (Thanks Mummy!!) I’ve had a few ideas running around in my little head and I loved the Splitcoast Sketch this week as soon as I saw it so voila the following cards were born!
The above cards used Lovely as a Tree and the swirl from Season of Joy. I also used the Merry Christmas from Occaisional Greetings. I used Handsome Hunter, Real Red, Kraft and Whisper White Cardstock. I tried to get a tricky picture of the Dazzling Diamonds that are on the trees. I just used my old favourite – 2Way Glue pen, to adhere the Diamonds. Love the ease of it!! The ribbon is the Striped Real Red Grosgrain.
The next card uses the same sketch except turned on it’s side. I did love this card! Cardstock is Kraft, Real Red, Old Olive and Very Vanilla. I used the Mat Pack to pierce the cardstock, another trusty tool I wouldn’t be without!! The flowers and the circle are cut out by hand and adhered to the top of the Olive image with Dimensionals. I’ve used the Real Red striped grosgrain ribbon again.
The next photo is to show you just how ordinary my current space is at the moment. Can you imagine being 38 Weeks pregnant and trying to squeeze into this space??
That’s my bed with all the stuff on it in the bottom left hand corner and my tall boy on the right hand side. I have a big mess in there at the moment because i’m trying to squeeze a whole room into less than a square metre!! Tough isn’t it??!! LOL.
Anyway! So glad I got to play today even if it was only for an hour!! Won’t be long and i’ll be all sorted in my new craft space!! What will come first though?? The baby or the room??!! LOL.
Until Next Time,
Happy Stamping!!

Some gentle persuasion and a New Do!
My obstetrician expressed his love of a particular kind of Raspberry Vinegar that’s obtainable at a little cafe in Warwick. Now as my family live in Warwick I conned begged asked my dear Mum to get me some so that I could bribe gently persuade him that I needed to be induced a little earlier than the due date of the 7th of November!! Below is a picture of the gift I put together for him.
Nothing too flash just a quick box in a bag made with 12 x 12 Old Olive Prints and a Love note using Old Olive and Real Red off cuts with some Old olive Stamping using the Spring Solitude hostess set. The note inside read “Dear Dr H, Thank you in hopeful anticipation of an early induction!” He thought it was priceless and laughed when he read the note!! He said he liked a bribe. I told him it was a gentle persuasion around to my way of thinking!! LOL. It has worked a charm though as we’ll be talking exact dates next Wednesday when I go!! Woo hoo!! We’ll have this baby here in 2 weeks or less!!! We still don’t know what it is but there is great speculation amongst friends and family!! What do you think it might be?? I have a DD6, DS4 & DD 20 Months.
Now to the New Do!! After the Dr’s visit this morning I went all radical and had the hair chopped off!! Makeesha warned me not too but I just couldn’t cope with it anymore!! It was too hot and heavy! I think I like it this length but give me a few days and I could regret it! What do you think??
I’m not so sure about the self-portrait but I’m home alone so it will have to do!! Bit shorter eh??
Anyway, Until Next time!
Happy Stamping!
