All boys have a thing for dump trucks and construction machinery right? The new Stampin’ Up! I Dig You set meets the need of more boyish stamps. As much as I love flowers, they don’t make good boy birthday cards. Today’s share is a birthday card:

Lovely Plants

yingfa — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 02:19:32 +0000

I purchased a new plant today at IKEA to keep my other plant company, and also cause it looked cute. Not too far were their PAPAJA plant pots and I instantly fell in love with one of the colours available. It also begged to have some sort of art work on it and so I pulled out the Lovely Lines Rub Ons (2009-2010 Lv3 Hostess bundle) and rubbed on a Mum:

If you don’t have any left over rub-ons, there are many other options you can use to decorate a plant pot such as craft ink, or even gluing ribbon and embellishment.

Birthday Banner Fun

yingfa — Sun, 21 Aug 2011 19:55:42 +0000

It’s been a while again – such a crazy summer! So last weekend, a friend and I got together for a paper crafting session to make a birthday banner, cupcake tags and gift tags for her daughter’s first birthday after seeing and loving the last birthday banner made.

The Blushing Bride and Early Espresso colour scheme was a success and as you can see, the banner came out beautifully! Because my friend has a very big wall in her home, we were able to string the entire banner together using brown with pink stitched grosgrain ribbon from a local big box store for cheap and using butterflies as spacers:

Cupcake tags were probably the most labour intensive, but they were really cute when finished:
