Happy Birthday Anita! A card, Cake and the Snow

My lovely friend Anita had a big birthday last week! Here is the card I made for her.

This was created with the same Distress Oxide techniques as the card I made for Mother's Day.

I have used dies from Crafter's Companion's Vintage Tea Party collection and watercolour paper. The lettering is also cut from Crafter's Companion dies. The cherries are shiny thanks to plenty of Glossy Accents and the lettering sparkles due to Crystal Stickles.

We celebrated Anita's birthday while we were away at Easthampstead Park, enjoying our annual retreat.

The cake I made survived the journey!

Here I am with Anita, Karen and Jackie in the grounds, we went for a walk to take photos in the snow.

Happy birthday Anita.

Heart Pouch Gifts for East PArk

We have just had another great weekend away with the crafting friends to Easthampstead Park Conference Centre. Lovely company, and we get fed and looked after too.

Traditionally we make one-another a small gift to take along to the event.

This year I made these little heart shaped, zip-up pouches. I found the pattern on Pinterest.

Once made they were filled with chocolates, ready for the weekedn.

I received lots of lovey gifts too, many thanks girls.

Looking forward to next year now!

ALPHAS !

Our cropping group the Blossoms went away for our annual retreat weekend in March. We usually take a small gift along for one-another, this year I made these initial alphas as we has been looking at photo prop ideas.

I saw an article in an old copy of Creating Keepsakes Magazine:

I made an initial for each of my scrapping friends going to the retreat. So between Hobbycraft and The Range, I managed to obtain all our initials in 8" paper mache 3D letters. I painted each letter with acrylic paint and covered the front with patterned papers, then added names and embellishments from my stash. Each one was created in that persons favourite colours:
