The quick and the (dreadfully) long

Spent a good bit of yesterday making a card for a little girl who is having a cheer leader type party and although I knew what I wanted to do with Tilda it took me ages to get the rest of it to gel.  Used the lovely SU Ginger Blossom dsp on this one - it is lovely when everything matches.  I thought her dress was too red so I went over it with Twinklings which is why it looks shiny/funny in the photo.

I realised when I was finished that it was not the one that was needed for this weekend.  The one I needed was this one which I then threw together very quickly by just running an image through the copier twice and cutting out the second 'Ben" and layering him up for a 3D effect.  Actually did run the SU Stars wheel over the front of the card as well as inside and called it done.

Sorry about the glare but it is on glossy paper.

While I was on a roll (sort of) I made two identical cards with the lovely little birdcage from the Saleabration set.  I had some images stamped out already so just had to tie it up with some Rose Red card and designer paper.  A couple of layers, some ribbon and two

 more were done.

In my hurry to photograph it I have knocked the bow sideways, but I guess you get the idea.  Another simple one.

I have a few more to get done before the 31st March !!

More cards and that rabbit makes another appearance

I've been busy trying to keep up with the birthdays and I have needed quite a few male cards lately and this is what I came up with for some of them - a wine bottle!  I have made it a bit more personal by adding the recipient's name on the label and in some cases I put the year of their birth in on the vintage tag.  A nice easy one to do when you are a bit short on time and a bit different from the usual run of cards.  The insert reads: "Life has many gifts, take time to open them all."

Unfortunately I have also had to make some sympathy cards this last month - not such an enjoyable job, but this is the one I came up with - using the single bloom from the SU Bloomin' with Beauty stamp set.

It is getting harder to think of ideas for the children as they get a bit older especially when they live interstate or overseas and we don't know what they like, so this one is for a ten year old girl.  SU  Happy Moments set and Whimsical Words used here (both free sets).

And I thought I'd pop this in - not a card, but a cake for a little 4 year old fairy. LOL

Last, but not least, my very favourite rabbit makes an appearance:

and as that other rabbit used to say ...... that's all folks !
