Birthday Book

My grandson turned 4 recently so I used my stash to make him a book containing all his birthday photos. The cover paper is no longer available for sale but it perfectly suited this project. The cupcakes and lollies I used for decoration were cut from the How Sweet It Is designer series paper from the Occasions catalogue. My grandson thoroughly approved!

Botanical Butterfly Note Cards

The design for these cards comes from Patty Bennett. The Botanical Butterfly DSP was a Sale-a-bration freebie. I wasn't sure how I'd use it until I saw Patty's design. The little box to store the note cards completes the set.

Gingham Gala Baby Gift Cards

These little gift cards will be given to a friend who does a lot of knitting and crocheting for friends and family. The new Gingham Gala DSP was the ideal paper for these cute gift cards. I added some strips of paper and ribbon to the lid of a pizza box - an ideal box to keep these little cards and matching envelopes together.

Dinosaur Album No.2

My gransdson loves dinosaurs. He was recently taken to a wonderful dinosaur exhibition so I thought I'd use my remaining Tropical Escapes DSP to make him a mini album to remember the day. (See my previous blog for the Dinosaur book I made him.)

The 6x6 DSP was the ideal size for a album that contains photos of a very enjoyable day. 

The Tropical Escapes DSP pack has been great value. I have made a book, a mini album and I have enough paper left to make a dinosuar spread in his Memories & More 2018 Photo Album.

Tropical Escape Dinosaur Album

My grandson is fascinated by dinosaurs. He's only 3 but knows the names of many dinosaurs. When I saw the Tropical Escapes DSP in the new catalogue, I thought I'd make him a dinosaur mini album.

The DSP comes in a 6x6 inch pack so I made the album that size. It has 12 pages and came together very quickly. I decorated the pages using the Pretty Pines and  Flourish thinlits as well as the Botanic Builder thinlits from a previous catalogue.  He was delighted with his album.

Happy Father's Day

It's Father's Day this weekend and this is the card I made for my Dad. I was inspired by a card made by Rochelle Blok The Stamping Blok. 

Very pleased with the result - hope Dad is impressed too.

Tutti-Frtti Notebooks

I've been using the new Tutti-Frutti DSP from Stampin Up's 2018 Occasions Catalogue. The sheets have cute images and vivid colours which I thought were great for these small A5 notebooks. These notebooks show just some of the wonderful designs in this suite. They're fun and easy to make. too!
