Cupcakes are the new Crafting!!!!

Thought I would post some pictures of my favourite new hobby, baking!!!! I love baking at the moment particularly cupcakes and anything I can decorate in a fancy manor lol. So baking is the reason I have not had so much for my card making etc....

I have a huge stash of cake decorations so its just like crafting,highly addictive. but unfortunately much more fattening lol.

Here are a couple of the cupcake I made last Christmas for school fete etc.....

Happy New year!!!

Just a quick post to welcome my blog into 2012!!! Hope all my fellow bloggers had a great Christmas and New Year!!!!

I have not done much papercrafts of late, my other hobby baking has taken over a bit lately, especially with lots of Christmas gifts to make. However today I had some spare time and enjoyed making this card for a friends birthday which is coming up. I am really loving the stamping up "Button Buddies" set at the moment. You can produce some really nice fun, simple cards with this set, even when time is not on your side!!!!! Looking forward to some blog hopping now ;)

Take care

Gifts Tags Created For A Friend

Todays post is a quick one using one of my new Stampin Up stamp sets. I have used the "Creativley Yours" stamp set to make a set of gift tags,I have included some ribbon & raffia so they can be tied on. I loved this set, thought it would be a perfect way to label all those baked gifts I intend to do for Christmas!!!!!

Male Birthday

Hi All,

I have recently become a big fan of their products, I love the clean & simple styles!!! Hopefully I will get a chance to complete a challenge, don't know where the times goes at the moment!!!!

Clean & Simple Challenge

The first post of September is my entry to the "CAS" challenge which is this fab sketch! I like love the challenges on this site. The cupcake image is from some Dovecrafts scrapbooking paper, and made the card nice and speedy to make! Polka dot ribbon and a stamped greeting to finish.

Just a quick one.....

Just a quick post as I have not updated my blog for ages,been busy with Amber's 1st birthday and returning to work. There never seems enough hours in the day recently. This weekend we payed a visit to the Hobbycraft store over at Woking,it has a huge selection of goodies, although the prices are not very competitive. I fell in love with these Sizzix heart dies and couldn't resist the patterned felt to use with them . I thought I would use them to make Hubby's anniversary card for Friday.

 

Well I hope you are all well in Blogland, I am hoping to get some crafting & blog hopping time tonight.

Fruity!!!!

Today's card is for another week at the "LIM" challenge blog. The theme this week is "Fruit" a nice summery challenge. I hope there is enough white space on my card this week, as I don't want my entry deleted!!!!

I think its good to make sure the rules of the challenge are adhered to thou, as there are plenty of non CAS card challenges people can enter if they choose.However there are definitely less challenges for those of us who prefer simple design!!!

Well we are chilling out this weekend in the garden, as its my last weekend off before returning to work following my maternity leave (boo hoo!!!)

Hope you all have a great weekend

Summer time!!!

Today's post is my entry for the "less is more" challenge again. I think this is becoming my favourite challenge site!!!!

I have used a die cut flower again made with my star Nestabillities. The theme this week is "buttons & ribbon" I decided to use both on my card.

Well its another short post as I have the kids at home, so must get back to the lego!!!!

Flower Power

I made this card yesterday with some SU stamps and card stock. I am pleased with the simplicity of it and wanted to record it on my blog. I am loving the clean and simple style of late, and these seem to be the style of cards I enjoy making at the moment. The nice thing is they are quicker to make, so I get two or three done in an evening!!!!
