Baby cards

Been a bit busy the past few weeks so will just quickly share a couple of handmade cards I have made recently for the Mum n Me Maternity shop in Lismore...

Gloria and Tracey have some gorgeous stuff in store at the moment - baby clothes, gifts, maternity wear, hats, bags, cards :) and heaps more.


Hope you are all keeping well....

Day Dreamer

I've been playing around with the Bo Bunny 'Mama Razzi' range and have created a step by step for this layout on Tanyah's blog.

I just love this picture of Sebastian - he's caught in a day dream, gazing off into the distance....

Creating......hair puffs

Well Charlotte is growing so fast...and so is her hair.  With all those gorgeous curls it is starting to get a bit on wild side.  So I decided to have a go at making a few hair clips for her.  I pulled out some left-over fabric and tried a few flower 'puff' designs.  Mum had given me a few buttons that you can cover with fabric so I had a go at fabric covered buttons too.  I had crocheted some flowers a while ago so they were not safe either. 

Here are some of the results...

 And being modelled by the lovely Charlotte...
 

I have never (ever) been much of a girly-girl but having a girl after two boys I think may have mellowed me somewhat. I am loving making all these little girly things.

Thanks for looking......take care!

Baby shower cupcakes

I have gone a bit cupcake mad lately.  First little roses now little booties!

I have just made these for my friend Skye's baby shower.

 I found this awesome tutorial on how to make the booties by Lorraine from Not Quite Nigella
Thank you so much Lorraine for your step by step.  It was just what I was looking for!


I did it slightly differently by adding the circle of fondant, stamping 'little' into it then placing the booties on top of that.

Soooo cute.....they even tasted pretty good too.

Thanks for looking!

Happy Birthday Charlotte!

Well yesterday Charlotte celebrated her 1st birthday.
Had a lovely time visiting Nanna Flo (who was celebrating her 89th birthday) in the morning.
Nan and Ma came over and we all had lunch together.
We had a family dinner that night with Aunty Nomes, Grandma, Damo, Annissa, Nan & Pop and the rest of us.
She so enjoyed her big day - she went to sleep as soon as her head hit the mattress.
Here are some pics of her day...

Nan and I made the cake - well it was mostly Nan I only made the teddy bear and the roses from icing. It didn't last too long anyway...


Take care ...

Creating.....cupcakes!

Well Charlotte's 1st birthday is coming up very soon and so I got to thinking I might have a go at making her birthday cake or some cupcakes for it - so yesterday I made up a batch of cupcakes and decided to have a trial run.

I have always wanted to try making the little edible roses so off I went and came up with these...

Still needs some practise but not too bad for a first timer (I thought anyway).

I had been to a wedding expo last weekend and saw some embossed cupcakes and thought what a great idea - so I got out my cuttlebug embossing folders, some stamps (all freshly cleaned of course), cookie cutters and some ready-made icing and got experimenting.

and here's the results.....

I love how they turned out and they were so much fun to make.

Will definitely be making some for Charlotte's birthday!

Have a great weekend!!
