I was slow to get going but once I did, it came together. My objective, organise 2 parties for our little guy, who was turning 5. I jumped into the preparations with no direction or theme. Googling birthday party invitation templates for boys I was trying to stay away from trends or superheroes – as […]
Here’s a quick little tutorial for a card I made for a friend’s sons Baptism last week. It was my first Instagram tutorial. I love this colour combination. Orange and navy blue were used on Luke’s Baptism invitation – as it turned out it was carried right through, coordinating chocolate favours given at church, the balloons, centre pieces and […]

On my to do list last week was to make a wedding card and wrap a wedding gift. So I thought I would make a wedding cake as the embellishment, cream coloured textured cardstock, foam tape, little gems and white marker [can you see the dots ‘piped icing‘ linking the gems?]. A bit of white […]
