Birthday Surprise

Last week i celebrated my Birthday and i was spoilt.
I woke up to a lounge room full of pink balloons,
my family gave me presents and cooked a hot brekkie.
On the day i received this card in the post from my very
generous friend Gemma.

I was then completely taken by surprise when these gorgeous flowers were delivered.
I have never had flowers delivered to home before so i was completely blown away and
i had no idea who sent them.
I looked at my husband and he was shaking his head saying "their not from me".
So i was very intrigued to find out who they were from
and they were from Gemma & Tony.
Thank-you so much, xo.

My family decorated the chalkboard.

5 bags (1kg) of M&M's. i have a bowl on my craft desk that i keep
M&M's in so now my bowl won't be empty now till Christmas, (maybe).
I did laugh when i opened these all wrapped individually.

And last the view from the top floor room where me and hubby stayed the night.
This has to be one of the best Birthdays ever.

A Royal Crown

I was recently having a look on Denise's Blog,
and i really liked the look of how she had made the top-note die into a square look,
so i thought i have to try this.
Here is what i came up with, very regal looking.

Pretty Storage

I was not liking the heat at all last weekend but felt creative.
 I have had this project sitting there for awhile,
 waiting to be painted and decorated.
 So i thought that won't take long, i will put this together,
 well famous last words. Life, family and stuff came along and it took
 alot longer to finish and i was thinking i should have made a card.
I am happy with how it turned out, although it's not what i really had in mind
but that happens alot, i have a thought and then go off in a different direction.
It is quite pretty in real life.
I am not sure what i will use it for, it has two compartments inside,
maybe scissors and things.

Inkspirations Colour Challenge #58

These are not colours i would normally put together but that's why the challenge is good.
The card has grown on me over night.
I have doubled over the Early Espresso ribbon to make it thinner.
I have sponged the edges of the Whisper White and
 paper pierced around the heart and around the edge of the Tangerine Tango.

Love Is In The Air

Happy Valentine's Day.
 I made this card for my dearest and i added lots of punched out hearts to make a little shaker box.
There is a few layers going on here and lots of hearts here and there.
We don't really celebrate today but it's a nice reason to make a card.
