For the Birthday Girl!!...

Last night I realised I hadn't made a card for my daughter Maddy (bad mummy!)  So, after both girls were in bed I got out the 'Owl Builder' Punch (118074) and started to play...

These little cuties were put together
using scraps of card in...
* Crumb Cake
* Pink Pirouette
* Early Espresso
* Melon Mambo
* Whisper White
* Basic Black
I embossed the Pink with the 'Perfect Polka Dots' TIEF (117335)

And here is the finished card...

It was actually quite quick to put together...
* Whisper White A4, cut & folded to a 14.8cm square card blank
* Baja Breeze cut to 14cm square, embossed 2/3rds with 'Cloudy Day' TIEF (127022) and the 'Modern Label' punch (119849) used on the bottom right prior to adhering to card blank.
* Early Espresso tree, cut free hand from 14cm x 12cm piece, ribbon wrapped round the trunk is not SU - sorry :-(
* Old Olive leaves, made by punching 3 1-3/8 circles, then re-inserting into punch to make 2 'ovals' from each, then scored down centre and folded. The glue was applied to the 'score line' to create dimension.
* Pink Pirouette was stamped using the 'Teeny Tiny Sentiments' stamp set (129579) and Early Espresso Ink (126974) then punched with the 'Word Window' punch (119857) and placed on dimensionals inside Modern Label aperture.
* Finally my owl was placed on a dimensional on it's branch. - DONE!

She loved it! - Bless her!  I can't believe my 1st baby is 8!!

I now have to spend the rest of my day in the kitchen... homemade pizza and cupcakes have been requested for birthday tea! 

Thankfully on Friday I get the night off as we're going bowling and i've promised MacDonalds as a treat!!

Workshop Update ...

Due to me having to spend time on a leaking shower in my en-suite, the workshop has had to be postponed...

I was only supposed to take the tiles off...
but the plaster came off with them :-(

My en-suite shower - stripped bare, ready to be fixed!

With much more work than originally thought (nothing is ever simple) I am pleased to say the en-suite has been fully restored and far exceeds it's original beauty!!

The REAL news though, is that my 1st Workshop Day will be held in April.  I'm currently awaiting confirmation on room availability for the 2 dates of.... 

Saturday 20th or Saturday 27th April.

Pencil these in your calendars and I'll confirm on Monday.

.... now i've a shower to clean!

A Speedy 50th....

A friend is off out tonight to a 50th birthday party, she needed a card rapidly!
So, I rustled this up in just 10 minutes! In fact, it took me longer to tidy away my stash than it did to make the card!!
