turtles

we had a birthday party to go to this weekend 

and the birthday child LOVES turtles

so a turtle name banner was made for them

 i normally make this turtle a tad smaller using punches

but this time i ramped it up a bit

and used the circle thinlits to make it banner sized

 i attached them together with black satin ribbon 

and drew a variety of facial expressions on their mouths

 the birthday card was done using the same turtle but with a sentiment n the middle

cheers ears

birthday card catalogue case

it's not often i acquire a stamp set from the stampin up catalogue based purely on the card displayed next to it...

but this one i did :)

 nuts about you is a hostess set and is just the cutest thing

here i have added a smiling cloud from the think happy set

 i like the way the card isn't normal lol

i love the cut out bit

i will admit that the fussy cutting wasn't too much fun but it was worth the end result-see how it sticks out-love it.
