love is in the air!

hi
Today we went to my aunts to help celebrate my cousins engagement & it was also a sending off party as she headed back to Qld with her new Qld'er husband to be.
I made her a card to match the gift i gave her....she loved it & showed everyone...she made me cry!! i was so happy for her...she has been with some not so matched guys for her & now she just seems glowing & radiantly happy....nearly as sparkly as her new engagement ring!!
here is the card...the heart is set at 4inchs & the white at 3.5inches and i then embossed it with a love heart folder....i think the couple i cut at 4 or 4.5 inches also

While borrowing the wedding carts from a friend i also had to make a cute wedding dress box....i just couldn't help myself!! they are so sweet...would love to get married again & have them sitting on the tables! i would i rock them!! lol

Last night we watched the royal wedding live...it was a nice ceremony...most parts similar to my own wedding ceremony....my kids were awaiting the kiss and got dissapointed when it didn't happen in the ceremony.....it then went onto the news and we didn't change channel to keep watching so we missed the kiss...but have now seen photos!

hope everyone is having a lovely weekend...the sun was shinning today!

For the watermelon i used base camp font & the watermelons from Stretch your imagination.

Hope everyone has a great week ahead...not long til easter!!

Easter Baskets

The other day...when i had my free day i spent it getting stuff organized for Easter. I utilized pink cricut for quite some time!  I made 7 baskets from the Easter 2010 Cartridge & decorated them with bunnies. For the bunnies eyes i 'I Rocked' them with rhinestones.

 As you can see...i have a very untidy kitchen table!! I so wish i could have my own space...just for me.....and my mess!

Here is another pic of my cover i did last year...it was the NO SEW custom crops pattern. I cut the letters & the flowers out with my cuttlebug & added the ribbon & kindy glitz to it ...was thinking i might 'I Rock' it one day with swirls of bling.


Thanks for dropping by & checking out what ive been upto.....Im hoping to get more time for scrapping this weekend...but right this minute im washing a HUGE bag of kindy towels ect that my youngest teacher gave me yesterday!

Hop like a Bunny!

Hi
Today is my free day!! yay me!! So i have been busy with my pink cricut.....making easter egg bag toppers!
I used the Easter 2010 cartridge for the bunny & egg. After i cut them out i inked around the egg & assembled them. I didnt go too crazy with these as i find the kids are more interested in the chocolate eggs! go figure!!

Here are some pics

Thanks for hopping by!

Retro Bots to the Reading Rescue

Hi all
Today i made some cute retro bot bookmarks. They are for some kids i help a few times a week in a program called multi lit. Its coming up to the end of term so thought of things i could get them...unsure if chocolate eggs or lollies are allowed so i went with the obvious!! BOOKMARKS!! Afterall we do a lot of reading, sight words & spelling together ....& i hope they like them enough to inspire them to open a book & pop it inside!

Here is a close up of the cute retro bots

I also did a set of stick figure car decals for my sister.....i hope she puts them up soon & i will go visit & take a pic....she had my son this afternoon at a cousins birthday party so couldnt get a pic today! I did make my cousins boy a birthday card...he turned 11 today...there is 8 months difference between our 2 boys.

 The flash made it look washed out & pinkish...but its red with black & a green guitar & yellow circle

Here is my sad attempt at the Eiffel tower.....I'm having such a hard time getting this together & staying together.....after i get it stuck together i will then attempt to make it pretty! So far all I've done is paint it black & glimmer misted it ....its a nightmare & i doubt i would attempt to make another in the future.

Hope everyone has had a good weekend
