The lollipop ladies #2 Challenge

Hi ladies

The lollipop ladies challenge this fortnight was

to be inspired by this cupcake.

Add some ruffles was the bonus challenge.

Thinking cap on!

Well I thought about it for a while and decided

I wanted to do something a bit different.

So I decided I wanted to make something you put a cupcake into.

Then I experimented with boxes, which would work fine by the way.

Anyway I decided on a cupcake stand, I thought there is

no reason why you couldn't make one from paper.

So here is my cupcake stand.

It took a few goes to get it right and it still could be improved

but I have run out of time so here it is.

I added ruffle on the edge for my bonus.

I also stamped a little message on the top

so that when you lift up your cupcake

you get a sweet little surprise!

I hope you like it!!! Now I just need a cupcake!

Challenge #5

Hello Ladies

Here is my challenge completed.

Thank you Carmel for this challenge it was heaps of fun.

I used paper range "De Lovely" by Cosmo Cricket, one of my favourites.

I hand cut my little tag for this card and the stamp

I used is from Kaisercraft.

I also made the little twirlies coming out of the flowers, by hand.

I just love handmade embellies!

The forgotten page

Here is a page I completed earlier this year and

for some reason I forgot to post it.

This page is about my niece.

I took this photo 2 xmas's ago when all of my hubbies family

went camping at the beautiful Airlie Beach.

We had a great time and I cannot wait to go back,

although it was extremely hot so maybe a different time of the year.

When doing this page I could not find a cat anywhere

so I decided to make my own.

I got the image from a friend and then made my own

paper pieced cat, isn't it cute!!!!

My Challenge #4

I'm late I'm late for a very important date. So sorry ladies.

I don't want to make excuses but I have been sick,

so I am a little behind. Oh well better late than never!

Here is my page for challenge #4.

I love this photo of my daughter because you can

really see the different colours in her eyes.

She has the most unusual eyes I have ever seen, they are beautiful.

Even if I say so myself, Lol!

Once again I have made my own paper flowers

it really is my favourite thing to do!

I decided to use the heart stamp and I did two stamps,

cut them out and layered them with dimensional dots.

I love the colours in these Bo Bunny papers and they

matched the colours in the photo perfectly!

Hope you like my page and please leave a comment

I love hearing from others, good or constructive criticism is always welcome.

I also love checking out others blogs, so leave a link so I can check it out.

Thanks for reading my blog & remember

Challenge #4 - Caysha's Page

This page was done by my 10 year old daughter.

She set the challenge and this is her result.

I think she has done a fantastic job!

I also might add that she was finished days ago,

unlike me who only finished last night.

The challenge was to do a 12x12 scrapbook page

use at least 1 patterned paper

Stampin' Up "A happy heart" stamp set

1 piece of ribbon

at least 3 rhinestones.

My daughter loves her Daddy so much,

she never does pages about me (boo hoo).

Well done Sweety. Can't wait to see her face

when she sees her page on my blog.

PRICELESS!

Lollipop Ladies Challenge

Hi

Just getting my challenge in at the last minute. It is not good when you get old and your memory goes. I almost forgot to upload it. I hope I am not to late.

I was inspired by the colours and the cherry.

So I used cream for the bananas, pink for the icecream and choc for the topping.

My glitter letters and bling are my added sprinkles.

I hope you like it.
