Black & Hot Pink Christmas

with just hours before i leave for our Asia Cruise
i thought i had better share my Christmas Cards they follow the theme of my tree...

while i didn't make many cards as i ran out of time in between end of year functions and organising our trip i wa very happy with the cards i made - although they do not photgraph very well - i have used a cuttlebug embossing folder and it doesn't really show up in the photos all stamps are Stampin' Up - but you get the general idea

I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and an Amazing 2010

Taylah's 10th Birthday Party


for Taylah's birthday party this year we decided on a blue and green theme - here are some of the things i made for her party


invitations, they opened up like a matchbook (shocking lighting so not a great photo)


party bags


water bottles


shame i didn't get a good photo of the "cake" inside all that tissue were cupcakes, as we couldn't light the candle Taylah blew a cheezel off


bunting (it was too windy at the park to put it up - but we were able to put it up at home ready for the  sleepover )



"drive in movie" backyard style

2009 Christmas Tree


well with 5 days to go until we leave for our cruise - i the true tragic that i am decided that i had to have a tree up before we left - so here it is in all its black and hot pink glory...


it is very basic with just hot pink cane balls and feather boas - no lights so very quick to put up and away when we come home - oh and of course i have to get matching gift bags - they are just there for effect there are no presents in them as we will not be here :)

Quick Christmas Cards

I made these cards quickly last night to give as a gift...
All the embellishments were made last year at a class my friend Trish held using Stampin' Up stamps, so basically all i did was add a piece of cardstock embossed using the cuttlebug and stick on my embellishments - too easy!












i still haven't finished making my cards for this year and as i only have 9 more sleeps until i go away i may have to cull my card list for this year.... or give some of my left overs from last year and hope that i don't give the same card as i did last year.

Noah

I just wanted to let you all know that Noah passed away on Monday morning after a long battle with cancer.
It is just so very sad, such a tragic loss of such a young life.



The family now has requested that their privacy is respected during this difficult time.

Flag for Banner Challenge

The ACP Spring Fling Retreat started today - 35 lucky ladies have headed on up to Maleny for a weekend of creative fun leaving me behind... why am i left behind... it is Taylah's end of year Ballet Concert tonight and then I have my Nephews 18th Birthday Dinner tomorrow night, so i will still be having a great weekend just no creating... which brings me to this post.
One of the challenges for the retreat is to create a flag which will then be joined together and hung up in the store, so i got to create one so i could be a part of the fun. Seeing that all the girls are up at Maleny with no internet i thought i would share my flag with you all.
I chose friends as my thing that makes me happy, i also added a beautiful new scrapbook king rubon to the front when i dropped it off at the shop, they had just come in and it was perfect for the space i had on the front of my flag.

things that make u happy challenge
both sides are to be decorated

colour combo - spring colours
a quote that is true to U
something old
something new
something sparkly
something stamped
something tied
something that blooms or flys in spring
something felty or fluffy


 

 
PS - I am working all day tomorrow at the store - so if you are in Brisbane pop in and see me - we have some great specials
 
 
Have a great week end
Kerrie
