Another Easter Basket

A girl in Jack's year at school has given him an Easter egg so we have made her this very pink and girlie basket. Again I followed the fab tutorial on the Belles n Whistles blog and used Bazzill cardstock and Accessorize stickers. The basket is filled with mini creme eggs and Abbie is very lucky as I didn't nick one when transferring the eggs from the original Creme Egg pack to a clear cello bag ;-)

I would like to enter this basket into the following challenges:

I'm in love with this new Magnolia stamp!

Over on Just Magnolia this week there is a fabby sketch to follow and as I purchased 2 brand spanking new Tildas on Friday at the NEC I thought I'd have my first go at a Magnolia challenge. I am always over-awed at the beauty of the Just Magnolia DT creations. I hope they don't laugh at my card!

So here's the sketch...And here's my card. It is for my mum as she is poorly with an ear infection that has also infected her jaw. She's in lots of pain and I hope this pretty lil lady will help cheer her up a bit.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Just Magnolia - Week 48, a sketch by Jane

Totally Papercrafts - Challenge 8, Pink & Green

Stamptacular Sunday - Challenge 52, Flower Power

Cup of tea anyone?

Someone I know via a forum and blogland asked me to make her a teabag card for her. The specification was 'green' and I have made the card on the left. I hope this fits the brief and I hope Ewa likes it. I used a different template to make these teabag cards to the one I used last year. This one gives a narrow spine to allow for the depth of the teabag inside. The one on the right is for my friend's birthday. I have bought a gorgeous green basket and filled it with smellies, a cute book about birthdays and this teabag card.

Cardstock - Bazzill Bling from Creative Craft World
Paper - Baisc Grey Green At Heart from The Secret Crafter
Flowers - Prima from the gorgeous Hobby House stand at the NEC on Friday
Brads - from stash
Ribbon - from stash

NEC Meet Up

I had a fantastic day at the NEC on Friday at the Hobbycrafts show meeting up with my lovely MSE friends. I received lots of lovely gifts and cards including a fabby party bag from Rusty to help us to celebrate Choccy's birthday - pic below minus the choccie bar, oops ;-)

This is one of the little pouches I made for a meet up gift. I used the tutorial here and changed the size of the paper to make the pouch bigger and included stamped Pink Gem tags, flowers, pins and a choccie bunny.

So this is the stash I bought. Craftwork Cards card blanks and white A4 cardstock, Prima flowers, Wild Rose Studio 6x6 paper pack (love these papers!), Lili of the Valley stamps, Magnolia stamps x 2, Penny Black hedgie stamp, Stampavie bear in honey pot stamp, ribbons, Promarkers, glimmer mist (can't wait to try this!!), adhesive pearls, charms... have I missed anything?

I always give a little something to my son's teachers/preschool ladies at the end of each term and as this is Easter term I've made little Easter baskets. I used the brilliant tutorial here and used cardstock in lovely spring colours. Each basket contains 2 Creme Eggs sitting on shredded tissue paper. My soon to be 6 year old has writen Happy Easter onto the circles on the back of the baskets.

I would like to enter the baskets into the following challenges:

Supplies:
Bazzill Basics & Bazzill Bling cardstock - Creative Craft World
Puffy Easter stickers - Accessorize
