Happy Birthday Ruby xxx

Happy First Birthday "Ruby" xx

 

 Well today is Ruby's 1st Birthday so I've stolen this picture from Kerry's blog but you can also see her in the castle!!! 

 

Isn't she so cute and always smiling!!

 

Anyway Kerry's got so much going on that I said I'd make something from her for Ruby and I can say she loved it.

Sorry it's very picture heavy!!!!

 

 

Love this little heart which I purchased a while ago from the Craft Box just perfect for the doorway. 

 

 

 Lot's of flowers around the doorway but you all know I love flowers and added lots of stickles. 

 

 

All the papers are from Magnolia matched with plain bazzil and so perfect for the castle with dragons, fairy wands and frogs all edged with stickles.

 

 

These beautiful sparkle letters are from Zva and I love them. 

 

 

Added DoeHickey grass around the bottom and more flowers dotted here and there.

 

 

Top view.

 

Beautiful picture of the little princess being protected by the cute magnolia dragon which is on a wobbler. 

 

 

Close up with added viva paper pearls. 

 

 

Kerry loved the little sentiment I found she said it was so perfect.

 

 

These photo's where from a photo shoot she had and I just loved this one so it had to be used!! 

 

Made this picture into a shaker and I love it just perfect. 

 

 

Added different ribbons on the book rings to finish it off.

Magnolia Christening Card

Not done much crafting again but in my defence my Granddaughter has been here for a couple of days in the week and yesterday she slept over for our usual sleep over where she gets up at the crack of dawn and we end up watching TV and doing jigsaws from half seven and even though we have a pile its amazing how many times you can do the same one!!!! lol

 

Well today I am sharing with you the Christening card I did for my SIL to give her daughter Kerry my beautiful Niece and hubby Martin on Ruby's Christening Day.



Found one of my favourite old Magnolia's which I coloured in with my Pro Markers to match this lush paper from pion which I purchased ages ago from Live and Love Crafts.

I added stickles and pearls around the card and found this beautiful ribbon slider in my stash.

Had a relaxing time cutting out the flowers from my second sheet for the beautiful display of flowers.

A side view I'm just sad that my pictures are not showing the beautiful colours.

Added extra flowers again lots of stickles and pearls which I also added to frame the main image with my lovely new ribbon.
