"Sugar & Spice" - All Things Girly!

Now here is my card for this gorgeous Release!

I used Boo & Snookie and coloured them with copics. I have used some absolutely gorgeous paper "Spring Surprise" available from Bearly Mine Designs. I started using this paper, and i love it so much, i didnt want to put anything else on the card! The blue, pink and grey are definately my favourite colours at the moment! The mushrooms are from Magnolia, and the flowers are from I Am Roses. Arent they just beautiful.

Wedding Card & Gift Box Finished

I got the gift box finished, and thought i would share. But dopey me forgot to take a photo of the inside of the card. I will see if i can go and visit my Aunt and take one....hmmmmm, maybe make another one! lol
Isn't the box pretty! I used a Stampin Up embossing folder in my new toy the Grand Calibur. I made the box 6 1/4" square, so the Grand Calibur is great for doing those bigger projects.

Black & White Wedding Card

Well i received my new Lily of the Valley Stamps, and i just had to make a card with them. My Aunt is wanting a Black & White Wedding card, so pulled out the Grey Copics and had a go at making the black suit! Hmmmm looks pretty good to me!! LOL. I found in my stash some Best Creation Inc papers which i bought ages ago (while shopping with Judy - one of our great shopping expeditions!), cause i thought it so lovely, and Yahhhh i finally get to use it!! lol . Oh i have used my new Marianne Creatable leaf Die too, oh i am loving this die, it is so lovely. Have to do the inside, will hopefully get it done tonight. I also want to make a gift box for this one...hmmmm ideas flicking around!!

I coloured Ally & Beeble in the other day, while waiting for my new grand daughter to arrive. (well i was just sitting there, and Bailey was so behaving himself). So i coloured them up, hoping i could match them to the beautiful paper from Bearly Mine Designs. I saw this paper, and just had to get them. I then spent the saturday at the Craft Show, looking for flowers to match the piece of purple card! And yes, if you were working there, I was the crazy lady with the little piece of purple card trying to match cardstock and flowers LOL!!

Stamps - Image Emerald Faeries "Ally & Beeble", Whimsy Sentiment
