George in a Box page II

I have now added the photo so can share this page too.

I used the same Bo Bunny collection of papers and added some Memory Box die cuts, the heart, heart filligree and the heart border.

Again this is based on a page-map design that I have used quite a lot lately, I am loving using the film strip app on my iphone to show the photos.

Butterflies were cut from the papers as before and raised on 3d foam.

Stickles added to the bodies, antennae added with a fine-liner.

I added the heart border down the edge of where the photo would go (I hadn't printed it before the crop so used a piece of paper in it's place) and embelished with SU buttons as before.

Trusty MS punches created the decorative edge and more printed twill ribbon added.

What a mad cat!

George in a Box

This is one of the pages I made at the Cardinal Colours Spring Crop.

Based on a page-map I used Bo Bunny Country Garden collection papers.

Our silly cat, George, just loves a box and gets in one -empty or not- if the lid is off!

Lianne had (loosely) put the lid back on this one and carried George into the room.

I cut the large butterfly from one of the papers and raised it on 3d foam, the message tag

was a sticker which I mounted on card and also 3d foam.

Stickles were added for some sparkle.

The title was from the sticker sheet thats part of the collection, I ran a fine-line in black to accentuate the letters. The buttons are from a Stampin' Up set and were added with some pearls and jewels from my stash.

I added a piece of printed tape too.

I think this was the fastest I had ever used new papers, they were bought on the Friday and this made on the Saturday. A second page was made to compliment this one but still have to add the photograph, I will share it once done.

Thanks for looking.

Crocs, cats and cupcakes...(Croc photo added again!)

Did anyone watch Croc Man last week?
The photo below shows the tank that caused the problems by leaking.
Inside is one of the Siamese Crocodiles, they were thought to be 2 females and 1 male but all 3 were girls.
They don't get on so have had to be separated unfortunately :(

And here's another one of our Daisy...

Something much more cuddly is our George in his favourite sleeping position....

I was lucky enough to be bought some more flowers too, shown below in the new vase from the Next sale.
The vase matches the new decor well, you can see the reflection of the new wallpaper in the mirror.
Hydranga heads last so well if you look after them, trimmed every other day and placed into fresh warm water, the white ones lasted a whole month! And below that? Ariel decided it was a good place to sit!

This weekend I made loads of cupcakes. Nicola at work is getting married on Saturday and so I thought they'd be a nice treat for her last day in the office (Tuesday).

These ones are Lavender scented...

These are filled with Lemon Curd and iced with lemon buttercream....

And above, the obligatory roses dusted with irridescent glitter.

Good Luck Nicola and John - Enjoy your day!

Best Friends

Just wanted to share this photo of Ariel and George.

They have decided they like this window ledge which looks over the bank (grassy type) next to our house.

This was taken early one morning while they surveyed their territory.
