Punch Art Bug

This cute bug was part of a collection I purchased from Kim Score at Paper Punch Addiction . I completely forgot I had this till I was browsing through my files this morning...bonus! I have used Peach Parfait for the first time...it's growning on me..the sentiment is from Bugs and Kisses

Treat Slider

There's nothing fancy about this one but kids love 'em. It's the same concept as a chocolate slider but I have used Zappo lollies for the treat.

...pull the snail and the treat slides out! This works well in kids classes...if you are wondering how this is done just google chocolate slider, there are heaps of tutorials

Love You Much

Happy New Year everyone, I for one was so happy to see the end of 2010...it was a shocking year for us and I am hoping and praying 2011 will bring better things!!

My first card for the year is a nice easy one suitable for Valentines Day. I have used two of the bugs from Bugs and Kisses stamped in Early Expresso and the Heart is from I Heart hearts. The greeting is one of the lovely swirly words from Well Scripted. I have used Baja Breeze, Crumbcake, Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White as my colour combo.
I was just looking through some of my posts and realised how plain my cards are...so if I was to describe my style I would have to say plain and simple...and do you want to know why??? ha!
A. I am a tight wad and hate using too many supplies on my cards...I buy nice things and save them "for good"...and do you know what happens when you do that???They go out of fashion.. so that when you DO get around to using them they look out dated and daggy
B. I hate clutter..it makes me feel claustrophobic
C. I can't afford lots of new things so I have to make do with what I have
D. I am bone lazy! I don't like doing things that take too long
So there you go, I have bared my soul....so what is YOUR style and why?

Bugs and kisses!

I needed to make a gift card holder for a little boy..eeeek!!! I don't do boys!!!! However the Bugs and Kisses set (115912) made it a little easier..I think the grasshopper is my favourite bug...no wait ..the ant..hmm there is also a sweet little lady bug in this set too...ok I like them all!

I also had to make a birthday card for someone, so I got to play with Pun Fun again (115854)...so much you can do with this set..every single stamp is soooo cute...but the hippo is definately my fave (or maybe the bird?). The sentiment is from the Whimsical Words which is one of the free Sale a Bration sets you can earn by hosting a workshop with $600.00 in sales or by purchasing $100 worth of goodies...I have the other three sets coming my way, I can't wait to have a play with them.

I am off to bed to listen to the wonderful sound of rain...it has cooled things down a bit thank heavens, I thought I was going to melt today.

That's all folks!

Some kids cards....and more

I hve been wanting to make a waterfall card for ages but never had the right stamps..My upline Angie made one using Bugs and Kisses so now I finally have this set (thanks to Stampin Start!) I was able to go ahead....love that little old ant!!

This is what it looks like when you tug on the doodad (tech term lol)

This one is a penny spinner..or in this case a five cent spinner...when you tip the card from side to side the rocket (from Pun Fun) rolls around..I will be using this as a class example  of why you should use a Stamp a ma jig..the sentiment in the word window is crooked...unless you tilt your head to one side..then it's fine!

I did this for a bit of valentine fun...pretend that is a stick of latte instead of cappacino...I was fresh out!!

Another stamp from the Pun Fun Set 115854...love that set to bits!!

Next is an origami gift box...I purchased the template online..this is it closed

The top view showing the flower I made with Petal Pizzazz 115850. I used the rock and roll method and cut between the petals...also scored the centre of the petals, then turned it over (on a mouse pad) and used the end of a biro to rub the leaves to make them kind of 3D -ish.

This is what it looks like when it is opened up..I made it to hold a bracelet my daughter is giving to her friend for her birthday...shhh!

Ans lastly my sister asked me to make her a simple baby card...th erattle from Something Sweet with a treat cup full of buttons...did a bit of hand stitching on this one...haven't done that for a while...that's all folks
