I love making
Iris Folding cards. The website is really badly made, there are patterns available from each year since 2007 but there's no home page where you can get to them all. Regardless, they are really cool patterns and available for free! They even have some finished examples that people have sent in to give you colour ideas.
I think this racing car and train were fun for my favourite nephews. Happy birthday! :)

Well Easter is always a fun time away for our family. We go to
Katoomba Easter Convention with family and friends. It's a great time to spend together, celebrating Jesus death and resurrection which gives us such a great hope. I'm hoping to blog about the excellent talks we heard this year but I'll never do them justice - so just go and
download them!
This year I thought I'd be a bit creative and make my Easter gifts.
My inspiration came from this lovely
website. My don't look quite as good but never mind. The jars were so easy, found them at a $2 shop and filled them with my favourite kind of eggs. The ribbons just made them look like I put some effort in!
I thought the bunny tails I found
here were hilarious. I found the clear cellophane bags at a $2 shop and just printed the header onto card and coloured it in. The tails are marshmallows. I even included a little note that no bunnies were harmed in the creation of them, just to reassure my sister-in-law who has a very cute pet rabbit who is a well loved member of the family.
Added a few other goodies and put them all in a nicely styled brown paper bag and job done. Easter gifts for 2012 I declare to be a success.

It was my Dad's birthday a little while back and I made him a card. I took my inspiration from
PoppyPaperie's Site and
Bobunny's blog (see the Dad card right at the bottom of the page). My card isn't even close to as good as the examples but Dad still liked it anyway. Who doesn't love a homemade card?!
As an aside, I have the best Dad in the world. I know many of you will disagree but you would be wrong. In the talk on Sunday, Geoff said that many girls go through their teenage years longing to know that their Dad loves them. I'm not sure whether that was true for me or not but looking back, I should never have been in any doubt...
