Balloons

Happy birthday to Melody turning 5 today! 

I made this card using balloons from Cricut cartridge 'Celebrations' and the phrase from 'Create a Critter'.  A bit of twine and washi tape and all done!

Camping

Here's a layout of us Camping at Easter at the beautiful Blue Lake in Rotorua.  Looking forward to summer camping this Christmas!

Scene and trees cut using Cricut cartridge 'Campin' Critters' and font using 'Life's a Beach'.  Check out other camping layouts and cards at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge.

Angry bird party

My 7 year-old wanted an Angry bird party - no surprises there....  I had such fun with doing the party!  Fairly simple stuff really and by adding some stickers to make cupcake toppers (and piggy apples!), I think it looked very Angry birdish.

Happy Birthday Vicki!

Happy birthday to my bestie Vicki celebrating a special birthday today.

Here is her cocktail themed birthday card using Cricut cartridge 'Life's a Beach' and 'Nifty Fifties'.

Angry bird invitations

Not surprisingly, my soon-to-be 7 year-old son wants an Angry Bird Party this year. 

Unfortunately there are no Cricut cartridges with Angry birds on them!!!!!!!!, so I got out the Gypsy and made my own.  This is probably my first real attempt at making something myself on the Gypsy.

The beak is diamond shaped and folded in half so it opens.

The party is on Friday.  Looking forward to it!

Here are two layouts I've done recently, both using the same design template.  I don't know about you, but I can't always come up with new designs every time... And if you like a layout then why not???

Happy 40th

Happy 40th to my dear friend Lesley!  Great weekend away to celebrate the big occasion too. 

And with all the washi tape I have bought recently, every project might just have to be 'washied'!
