Batman....

Quick post tonight to show you a card for a little boy at school.  I'm not sure I've said before but the boys go to a really small school, only about 90 pupils in the whole school.  Because of this everyone knows everyone.  There is a little boy in foundation who is turning 6 next month and was adamant that he invited Aaron who is 10 to his party.

Aaron has decided that he won't attend the party (it is the same weekend as my birthday) but he said he still wanted to give him a card and present.  It is a Batman themed party!

I printed the batman logo from the internet, traced it and tried to cut it out.  I think it's not too bad!  Jack will love it, I'm sure.

Thank you cards...

That time again.......  After a birthday there is always quite a few thank you cards to make.  I tried to make them all different last year but gave that idea up very quickly....

We have a friend in the RAF and we were lucky enough to be invited to an employee (and guests) only family day on Elliots birthday.  We were able to walk around lots of aircraft and the boys were able to sit in some, it was great.  There was also an airshow which seemed to go on most of the day and included the magnificent Red Arrows....

The weather looks dreadful but it was pretty good really.

Anyway, back to the thank you cards.  I had a little production line going yesterday and although they are all made, the battle will be getting the little monkey to write them all!!!

Very simple but age appropriate.....

They are postcard style using the Up, Up away set and some cord I had to make the string for the balloon.  I haven't left a huge area so he won't need to write too much!!!

The C word......

I can't believe it but I have made my first CHRISTMAS card.....

I don't normally make all my Christmas cards as I find the thought just too daunting but as this will be my first year as a demonstator I think I should be proactive and try and get organised.  Stampin' Up have a new seasonal catalogue due out on 1st September and and I am patiently waiting for my pre order to arrive sometime tomorrow but if you are into making your Christmas cards, gifts and decorations then I strongly suggest you book a workshop with me to be able to get your hands on the fantastic goodies available.

This card is a version of a card I was asked to make last year.....

The snowflake has been made in the same way as a rosette but using the lace ribbon border punch.  I did spritz it with some shimmer mist but its hard to see that on the photo.  This card could only be hand delivered as the postage costs would be huge but this could be mass produced qhite easily and making the recipient think they have received a very special card.

We have had a fairly chilled day today in preparation for the week ahead but I will try and post throughout the week.
