Some more recent cards created by me...

My Facebook page shows more cards and everything else that I make. Today I wanted to post some recent cards that I made for a dear friend of mine. She will be heading off to Venezuela in a few weeks to see some people that mean the world to her. What a great idea for her to take along some homemade New Zealand Mother's Day cards. I love how she especially asked for a Grandma's Day card. So special and personal!

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Grandma's Day
I used a hole punch for my perfect little circles! So much fun!

I just love making these paper flowers

My second attempt at Embossing! 

Good for the Soul! 

She wanted enough space inside each card to paint/stamp her little girls handprint.
I thought why not just paint it on a separate page!

birds on a wire...

In working progress

I have this thing for birds that gather on power lines. Most areas now where new houses are built power lines are no where to be found. So I appreciate still seeing power lines filled with birds. That was my main inspiration for this little project. I actually made it for a previous house we lived in to keep the warm air from the heat pump in one room only because we had no door separating the lounge from the passageway. I thought new house...... mmmmmmmmm...... what would we need a divider for. Well, my little cave that I sit in to create is more like a storage room. So I thought I could use the divider to cover the unpleasant looking shelving and at the same time be used to peg my inspirational research or cut out ideas onto it.

I still need to buy some hinges and then we will be all set. My dad built the frames for me. I found some fabric big enough to cover it. But it took me a while to put it all together.

all things ROUND...

Working on some out door deco. 

We recently had our deck extended and it has been so nice to be able to sit out there again and enjoy our meals. With having a little one and not have a fence or a gate can be a bit of a problem. LOL. So we have been waiting patiently for it all to be built. Finally there is a finished deck with fence and gate. We are still working on getting a latch attached. In the meantime a few bricks are doing the trick of keeping it locked.

There are some built in sections now where we are able to plant things.... So might consider that good old vege garden.

Our new deck YAY!!!

I have also thought it would be nice to have some beautiful creations hanging AROUND while we sit out there. So this little ROUND fiddly creation will soon be getting some more friends to keeps us company. I'll be sure to post some pics of the finished product when I eventually get there.

Newly Designed Cards

Love these. Paper flowers..

So pretty!!!

Created a few African themed cards.

I found these cute felt letters and couldn't help myself but make some gorgeous cards.

These were made with off-cut, left over pieces of paper. :)

On each card that I have made I have placed a sticker with all my details.
