Wedding Invites

I am making some wedding invitations for my fiance's mum. They are not finished yet but I wanted to show you the three designs I have got for now as this is something I would like to do more of in the future.



Let me know what you think!!

My First Candles!!

I have just started stamping on candles. It is so easy and so fun! Click here if you want to know how to make them too.






And here there are all wrapped and ready to go...



I haven't decided how much to sell them for yet. Any suggestions?!

Diary/Notebook covers

I'm very excited about these as they are getting more and more popular. Here are my most recent one's which were made for order's. The pink fur one is a slim diary and the light purple one is an art book. I am now making the covers for diary's, art books, lined notebooks, address books, etc. I also had a request for a small bible so of course just give me the measurements for any book and I'll see what I can do!

Last of the Mother's Day Cards

I know that Mother's Day is now over but here are the last of the cards I made for this year...




Now I usually don't double up on my designs but I did this time because some were for the mother's and grandmother's in my family.

Changes to Blog

Hi there!! Those of you who have seen my blog before might notice some slight!! changes. My friend told me about a website to get cool backgrounds as I wanted my blog to look more exciting and inviting! I couldn't find it on the net as she had remembered it differently to what it was (and since told me the correct name) but I found it on Paper Makeup (one of the blogs I'm following) and I just wanted to share it with my fellow bloggers!! So it's called Cutest Blog on the Block and another one has been recommended to me called Aqua Poppy Designs. So if you too are a blogger, be sure to check them out!! :)

So much to see...

Wow! So it's been a while since my last post. (Oops!)

Easter went really well for me. I made some good sales at both my markets despite the fact that there was a festival on in Springwood the same day as the market. Here are some more Easter cards I made...




I have a few orders to keep me busy till the end of May at least, one being from a customer which I saw back in February at Leura who emailed me to place an order! It was so fantastic to hear from someone two months after I had seen them!! I have also made a couple of engagement and wedding cards for friends in the past few months and have an order to make some wedding invites and matching place cards.



I added these Swarovski crystals to the salad servers for an engagement present. I got the idea from a Better Homes & Gardens episode which was on last year in November.



I will start working on engagement and wedding cards to add to my collection so they will be regularly available at both my markets.

Of course, with Mother's day this Sunday, I have been busy making cards for that too. I am selling some at a florist in Penrith called 'Flowers to Amaze' so hopefully they will go well there and I will continue to sell with them.




I really love the one's with the metal embellishments on them! I will definitely be using them again.

Here are some orders I've made recently...



My cousins 21st birthday card and address book with dragon applique cover. (I'm so happy with how this one turned out!!)



Order for someone's 50th birthday. After making this card the customer has encouraged me to take up calligraphy to help personalise my cards and gifts with peoples name's and/or special words.
