We celebrated two birthdays last week … my Mum (h) and my daughter’s good friend (t) … both born on the same day!
I recently ordered some fabric from Art Candy … I love Amy Butler’s designs and the colours are gorgeous … and decided to customise some notebooks … love how they turned out! (My Mum really loved it too!)

Matthew was invited to Claudia’s party and I was so happy to make something pretty and pink.
I’ve had this mdf mirror for ages .. and it was so much fun decorating it. I used this piece as my inspiration .. and I was very happy with how it turned out.
And Claudia liked it too!

Jamie (4) was recently invited to his first birthday party. So very exciting!! His first thought was “What should we make for Tyson … how about a “t” for Tyson.”
This comment made me so happy .. and who am I to disappoint my 4 year old. So off to Spotlight to find a “T” … and I found this Papier maché letter – perfect!

My daughter Grace turned 10 last week … and I still can’t believe how quickly a decade can pass by!
It was a very exciting birthday because there are certain privileges that a 10 year girl in our family can now enjoy.
Privilege # 1 – getting ears pierced – check!
Privilege # 2 – having a mobile phone – check!
Privilege # 3 – drinking a cup of tea – check!
Privilege # 4 – slumber party – check!
Here she is talking to my Mum on her new iPhone … one very happy girl!

And a birthday wouldn’t be complete without some artwork from Mum … I came up with 10 words that are encouraging and inspiring … each one also has it’s dictionary definition in the petal.

Lately there has been a lot of gift giving … which means I’ve been busy in the studio …
I love giving handmade gifts … I’ve been doing it a very long time!
This fabric notebook was for my Aunt who recently celebrated her 60th birthday!
And a lovely card to go with it!
And this little canvas was for a 6 year old princess who had a wonderful disco party.

Posted by craftnetworktv in collage, craft, inspiration on April 26, 2011
Interweave Press had a sale recently on their downloadable videos … I have been wanting to get collage fast & furious with Julie Fei-Fan Balzer for a while now … and this was my chance. I loved it … Julie is so lovely and I love that she lives in New York City. I was inspired to start an art journal page … which I will share when it’s finished.
I also have to comment on how much I love technology … I was able to download the file and transfer it to my iPad and watch it on the couch (with headphones) while the kids watched a movie. It doesn’t get much than that!
