Happy Christmas Bigz Bird Die

I love this die - I didn't think I did until I went to Convention and Elizabeth Stewart showed us some lovely lovely creations.

This was a card from last month's Christmas Stamp a Stack - isn't she lovely. I've used the soon to be retiring Letters to Santa designer series papers but you could use anything really.  

The Greeting is from Many Merry Messages - another retiree, and the little punch is also retiring too.  Thankfully the antique brads stay - yay cos they are my favourite.

There are a couple of places in the class this week and next - we will be exploring the Spotlighting Technique.  

If you want to come along call, email or SMS 0428 254 952.  The classes are very relaxed, the existing class girls are very friendly and everyone has a great time.  Class girls will also receive the new Catalogue and the Holiday Traditions mini on the night.

Happy Stampin'

Crazy Chicks Wishing a Happy Birthday

Its my lovely husband's birthday today.  I know this isn't the traditional 'old mans' card - I can say that without fear of retribution because he is back in Sydney again .... and we are now the same age as I am 10 months older than him .... but I loved the crazy birds design.  So bright and cheerful and I love googly eyes.

I've used the tail of the Bigz Bird Die from the last mini (which between you and me is in the new catalogue so don't stress if you didn't invest!) - and some retiring designer series paper - Big Top Birthday.

Paul was home for the weekend and so we celebrated with some cup cakes made by Olivia, a Tardis pencil case from Dr Who (yes I query this present too but he loved it) and a trip to the snow.  We've also started the pizza oven fund - all Birthday and Christmas presents this year are going towards a hand built pizza oven - exciting times.  I'm thinking I should rewrite that sentence - that is of course, all Birthdays and Christmases for the grownups in the house :)

Here's a close up of Liv's cakes - she's become quite the expert with the icing and is a champion baker.

Hope you are enjoying your Tuesday - Happy Birthday Sads.

Love Nikki
