Happy Birthday bunting

Nothing shouts party more than bunting, don't you think? I love bunting, I even have it in both the babies bedrooms. Every summer we know it's time for the village fair when the yards and yards of bunting  is strung up lining the main road. Well, I've been threatening to make some for ages and when I saw these fab Monogram letters on http://www.thepapertrailco.co.uk/  I know I had my chance.

The scallops were cut using Accent Essentials Cricut cart and embossed with a Sizzix Swiss Dots folder. All the backing papers were also from the Papertrail Company too.

Well, just my luck! Just as I am about to pack my bags and prepare to escape dirty nappies for a week a flippin' volcano goes off and stops all flights out of the country. Let me tell you, if it doesn't get sorted  ready for my flight in 10 days they'll be a volcano ready to explode right here!!! I am so ready for my trip and even an act of God better not get in the way of it.

On a more positive note.... here is the 2nd card I made for the http://www.thepapertrailco.co.uk/ This digi stamp is from the Chloe Rose cd and was coloured with Promarkers. I adore these pens! They are my new "must have".

The frame is from the Cricut Heratage cart and has lots of fabulous frames. Stickles and Bling pearls finish the royal effect!
This card kind of sums up my prayers and thoughts this week - do you think I need a fairy with a magic wand?

First card for the Papertrail Company

I am so excited and wanted you all to be the first to see. This week I've been busy creating some samples for the Papertrail Company. I was invited a little while ago to be part of the design team. All the backing papers, digi stamps, mono alphabets and sentiments are from the http://www.thepapertrailco.co.uk/ and are all available  for download purchases. I had a blast and everything was so easy to use. Here's the first card...the frame and scroll are both from the Heritage Cricut cartridge and I used platinum Stickles by Ranger.
