Fabulous 40!

On Friday, I had the honour of attending a gorgeous lady's 40th Birthday party, which was made all the more special by the fact that it was also my birthday! Lots of us put in to a collection for her pressie, but to keep it personal we all added our own birthday cards. Having created my first easel card in the previous post, I decided to do another one of these as I think they are just stunning.



This is the card I created, it is so pretty in real life, very sparkly!!

Raspberry Tart Treat Box

I used the instructions from the SplitCoastStampers Resource Gallery, and it was so easy, this section of the SplitCoast site is just abundant with ideas, all accompanied by clear printable instructions. If you haven't visited it yet, make sure you head on over, although beware you'll spend hours 'oohing and aahing' and none creating!!

Anyway I wasn't sure how big this box would turn out, but loved the idea, I was thrilled to discover how big it was and decided immediately it would make a very pretty addition to my stamping area as storage for my markers. Would love to hear your ideas on other pretty, but practical, storage solutions.
