A Broken Leg!

Hi there.
Here is a layout to show you, using the Ruby Rock-it Nostalgia Collection.

My youngest, Matthew, got a broken leg when he was 5 months old. I love this photo of him with his leg in plaster - it didn't worry him at all! He loved to sit and hit the plaster cast, it made a good sound!
I have used the chipboard pieces to make the banner and I love the cute umbrellas.

Happy Creating!

Nostalgia Cards

Hi there
Well Artfull Crafts Centre Stage this month is Ruby Rock-It. So I have a couple of cards to show you using the Nostalgia Collection. I have gone with a sewing theme- love the cotton reel ends!

I love to machine stitch on my cards - so much more fun than mending farm overalls! The lovely sayings are from Papertrey Ink and I have embossed them with white embossing powder. Love the white on the Kraft card!

A 100th Birthday Card

Hi there.

Well we had an exciting time earlier this month - My Dad turned 100!

Here is the card I made for him....

This is a photo of him - can you believe he is 100! He doesn't look it! He is holding the special pumpkin that grew on our farm for him! It says "Ray Blampied 13.5.12 100 years"!

This is my family with him.

L to R - Peter, Leanne, Phil, Ray(the Birthday boy), Philip, Christine(Me) & Matt.

He had a fabulous time the whole weekend and even had a surprise visit from Andy Ellis the Crusaders Halfback and All Black! His youngest Great Grand daughter - Millie(2) helped him blow out his candles. We lost count of the number of macarons he ate - they were so delicious! Thanks Shirley!
