Birthday gifts ...

Birthdays! I love other people's birthdays - making a card,  a gift and knowing that I can make someone's day... When it comes to my turn I'd prefer not to mention another year has passed.

This beautiful card, using one of my all time favourite sets is from Felicity Hawkins.

Felicity has created a beautiful gift box with the plastic stamp case and filled it full of lovely thoughtful things. I particularly love the wallet filled with stamped images and kind thoughtful sayings.

And I'm very partial to an envelope of chocolate and coffee....

Cyber-stamp-crop at Elite Stampers!

This weekend Angela Sergeant, and the Elite stamper's team are having a cyber - stamp - crop!
Angela sets 4 challenges: a Sketch, a colour, a photo inspiration and a product challenge.
We started playing on Sat morning and it goes till Monday pm.
This is my card for challenge one. The sketch challenge.
And then I had a go at scrapbooking using the sketch.
Both use the "Tea for two" patterned papers and lots of product from the Autumn seasonal mini.

Doily dresses

I found this idea on Pinterest yesterday and couldn't wait to try my own doily dress.
You can buy doilies in a pack of 24 from the seasonal catalogue (Autumn mini) for $4.95 it goes wonderfully well with the tea for two designer papers.
