Happy Birthday

We are celebrating a Birthday today at La Pashe, Craig is my adopted son (he calls me Mam2)and he is also our Sales Manager at La Pashe and loves a bit of limelight, heis off work today but this is us celebrating his birthday last week.

He is jealous of Jonathan at work who owns a Darth Vader Lightsaber and has gone on and on about wanting one so I made him a Darth Vader Toy and we used a glow stick from Party Room to mimic the Lightsaber (oooh yes you can also get 10% off first orders there too, just stick IMGN2010 in the coupon code).

If you fancy making some of the shown character boxes there is a brilliant site where you can download them free and they have masses to choose from. Toy-a-Day

Free Snowflakes - 8 Designer Sheets

Ohhh we had a flurry of snow this morning and it inspired me to make some sheets for you all.

they are 14 x 14 cm so you will be able to add 2 of them to a sheet before printing, it is a size that I use on my square cards so they should come in handy as a background for your Christmas cards.
Please abide by my Terms of Use.
You are free to use my sheets for personal use but please do not share, alter, claim them as your own or sell them, instead link back to my blog for people to download them.
They are copyright protected.

Just click on the images and this will bring them to full size on your screen then save it to your computer.
The sheets will print to a14 x 14 cm size on a A4 sheet, once saved to your computer double click on the file then from the top menu on your computer click, file then print this will then print out the image. Alternatively you could drag 2 of them on an A4 sheet before printing.

Time Out - "Bestest Teacher"

"Dear Teacher" we're taking Time Out so that you can enjoy your Holiday.

I bet this would bring a smile to any teacher.

Coloured with Copic Markers and Prisma Pencils, then mattered and layered in a clean and simple layout with the perfect sentiment for the card.
Ribbon is the most scrumptious deep red supplied by The Craft Fairy

All four characters can be bought as a set here

I wanted to show you close ups of the individual characters as they can all be purchased separately and I think they make perfect Teacher cards.

Mo's Dream Team Project of the Month

Its that time again and this Month's theme for the Blog Hop is Distress (paper, ink etc) and was chosen by myself and I and the very start of the blog hop.

This Month my image is Christmas Fairy Mint, I have used a combination of distress techniques both paper distressing and ink distressing, the image was coloured with Copic Markers, glitter added to the fairy wings and glossy accents to the mint sticks although it doesn't show in the photo it really gives dimension to the image.
