happy birdies!!!


i've had great fun playing with my new sizzix bigshot machine this last week - as i mentioned it was my daughter's birthday on friday and i made her this card -





today was my Mum's birthday so i made her this one -



and this weekend - me and D are off to a wedding {D is bestman} so i made this card for the happy couple - i think the die has paid for itself now!

***geeky information alert*** the sheet music i cut these birdies out from is a wedding march!


fancy stamped insert!


oh and i have a commisioned birthday card to make to - and how great is this?
I'm being paid in buttons - hurrah!!!!

i bought a new toy!!!


So last tuesday i bought myself a sizzix big shot machine - i have been trying to decide which die-cutting machine to buy for ages and finally decided on this one from here http://www.craftydevilspapercraft.co.uk/ {who turned me down as part of their design team, sob} - i LOVE it!!!

i had already bought loads of dies from fellow internet crafters and eBay so i just bought the machine , hmmmm. . . . the plan being i wouldn't need anymore dies - yeah right!

so on monday off i went to the shop and bought some halloween themed dies and texture plates and best of all a gorgeous birdy one - i made a rubber stamp from it and made this note card with it today.

we also went to the beach because as i knew would happen - the kids went back to school and the weather improved!!!
It was such a gorgeous weekend i was even wearing shorts and flip-flops! Lucky for you i take all the photo's so there are never any of me - i must be the most un-photogenic person ever!!!
"hot dog"
as you can see he had a miserable time!!!
for some bizarre reason blogger is refusing to work properly so please excuse the messy look of this post - i'll try and sort it tomorrow.
