Ray of Sunshine

Recently, my grandmother had a fall and is in hospital recovering. Mum headed over there yesterday to spend some time with her so I made a quick card to spread some bright sunshine into her room. I used the gorgeous Hello Sunshine collection from Bo Bunny... so bright and colourful, I am really loving making cards with this range. I think I might have to make myself one just to brighten up my room!

Materials Used: KaiserCard (Coffee Bean); Bo Bunny Hello Sunshine collection: paper pad, 12" cut outs; MCT stamp: many greetings; Tim Holtz Distress Ink (black soot); Memento Ink (tuxedo black); twine.

I added a little flower to the inside as well to brighten up the stark white paper. Hope it does the tricken and brighten's up the dull hospital room...

Thanks for stopping my the blog today!

Baby Gift

Hello everyone and welcome to Monday :) I'm starting one of my midwifery placements today so am definitely in the baby mood!! Thought I'd share with you a gift I made for a new baby... some bird bookends to go with the theme of the nursery - birds, with a yellow, grey and white colour scheme (they didn't know they were having a boy).

I used Bella Blvd papers from the Baby Boy collection to decorate these Kaisercraft book ends. Nice and simple, but I think they're quite cute!! I always find it hard to do baby boy gifts! I much prefer adding lots of bling and flowers for little girls!! :)

 Materials Used: Kaisercraft Bird Book Ends; Bella Blvd Baby Boy collection: papers (Momma's Boy, Heaven Sent); Kaisercraft Rhinestone Strips (black); Kaisercraft Sparklets (ebony); WOW chipboard alpha; paint dabbers (pitch black); Kaisercolour (cool grey).

You can find the Bella Blvd Baby Boy collection in Kerry's store here. Of course, there is a Baby Girl one as well!

Thanks for looking!

Happy New Year!

Hello everyone, and welcome to 2013!! Hope you all had a fabulous festive season with your friends and family!

Alanna here today to share with you a birthday card I made for my mother-in-law with one of the new January collections - Marigold. Personally, I love the florals and colours in this collection. A lot of the cards I make are for my Mum's friends, and my relatives, so collections like this get well used in my scraproom!!
