I just thought I should share with you my favourites, in case you missed them…

I used this set last year to make our family Christmas Cards, my girls helped to stamp and punch out the baubles (yes, there is a matching punch! - AND it's even offered as a BUNDLE at 15% off)

and for those who didn't see it… here was the finished card!

and another that I made as Convention swaps…

… the 'Merry' sentiment is from the 'Snowflake Soiree' set which is still available on the carry-over too!

FINALLY, if you didn't get these then now is definitely the time - they are simply the classiest baubles EVER! and with the matching framelits they are a dream to use.

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!!
