Brotherly Love

My cousin Jo has the cutest boys and as we are approaching half term I am sure she is really looking forward to spending quality time with them both. It looks like we are going to be snowed in for some of the holiday so stock up with colouring books Jo, it might be a long one!

Gorgeous Rhys and Euan

The papers used are a section of leftover bits and pieces but mostly 'Clippings' from Basicgrey which is great for non-girly papercrafting! The large letters are created by sticking paper to chip board and die-cutting using the new Tim Holtz Block Talk Alphabet die from Sizzix. The other lettering was hand scribbled as you can tell!

Cute Cupcake Boxes

With Mother's Day fast approaching I found myself searching for cute ideas to wrap my gifts and was delighted to find a range of templates available online for gorgeous cupcake gift boxes. As perfect as they were I still found ways to adapt them a little to make them into my own. What I adore about templates is that once you have them stored onto your desk top you can return to them at any time and adapt them to suit whatever occasion you are celebrating. Brightly coloured versions would work brilliantly for children and of course Christmas coloured card with the addition of a sprig of holly would be perfect for presenting Christmas cookies or sweets...

This Template can be purchased from My Time Made Easy and although it was a little fiddly to create , the extra time spent was well worth it as the box is a really brilliant size.

All of the flowers have been drawn and hand cut but could easily be die cut or stamped

for a similar effect.
