Love this snowman one. used an A6 card and die cut 3 circles which I embossed.<br />
<br />
And the last one is 6 die cut circles 3 of each design.Then folded in half and glued together but <br />
remember to add the string before gluing the last circle into place .thanks for taking a look<br />

I suggested it to Mum who said 'that'll be easy, we can do that'. So we brought the things we needed and planned to do them. Trouble was, as Christmas approached we got some devastating news that threw everything about Christmas out. So I didn't think we were going to do them. But, Mum being Mum managed to surprise me on Christmas day with this....<div>

Now...as I said, I'd planned to make these little diaries as gifts. Mum and I were going to add them to our Little-Lady's gift range for Christmas, before Christmas got sidelined. So when we were thinking up the ideas I'd asked Lady if she'd want one. To which she had said yes. Only I forgot all about it until I opened my diary on Christmas day. Then when I took my diary to work, Lady moaned soooo much about not having one...</div>

Mum was asked to make two 21st birthday cards with a batman theme for a girl!! Batman isn't always the easiest of things to make girly, but I think you'll agree she managed it rather well!! You might not be able to tell from the photographs, but the first cards is sooo glittery...and with the second card she managed to add the flowers in, with thanks to the die she used. The die is technically supposed to be snowflakes, but we like to use it on the everyday cards too as it means we can add more sparkle! </div>

Having brought a Grand Calibur (die cutting machine) over a year ago, we're continuously finding new things we can do because of this useful machine. One of the things we discovered is that it not only cuts paper but also can cut fabrics. Once I'd discovered that my brain automatically went on to question whether it would cut a certain fabric...aida!! Aida's the fabric you use when cross stitching. Which left me with a dilemma. The only way I was going to find out whether it would work, was to try it out...so I had two choices...either I got Lady/Crusty to stitch something small, or I tried stitching something myself!!! I hadn't stitched in years. I think I was around 13 the last time I had (yes that was a long time ago!). Thankfully I managed to find a small little Margaret Sherry Teacup Kitty Cat cross stitch kit that had been a freebie with Cross Stitch Card Shop magazine. So I took on the challenge and started to stitch ...<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I don't mind telling you that after about a week of stitching the thing my hand was unbelievably painful! It probably partially my fault. I was so eager to get the thing finished I pushed myself and stitched far longer than I should have. But I DID finish it, and I was sooo proud of myself! Then I just needed to see if my idea worked! I was sooo nervous as I cut the little kitty cat out. In fact as I took the Calibur's plates apart, I couldn't look just in case all my effort (and pain) had been all for nothing. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It wasn't though! IT WORKED!! So then I had a very cute little kitty cat ...all I had left to do was put it onto a card. After throwing a few things together, I came up with this...</div>
<div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ok, so the stitching wasn't the best, but my plan had worked! I could cut aida into beautiful shapes. I could make a cross stitch card in the same way as a papercraft one. The cross stitch became the topper instead of placing it in an apperture!! And I'd managed to used the Memory Box Snowflake Corner Die to finish it off. Not only was I pleased with my efforts, but Lady suddenly found herself with a dilemma too...did SHE need a grand calibur?? Well the answer to that was YES! So last summer she purchased her own machine and joined the fun! (I'll show you some of her makes soon). </div>

BUT THEN!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Wellll...Then I got the idea in my head that I wanted to make a cross stitched card for Mum's birthday. I knew what I'd have loved to do, but wasn't quite brave enough for that (not just yet). So one evening when I went to dinner at Lady's house we devised the plan. You see Mum usually gets all the stitching threads as the only place in town we can get them is where she works! I couldn't just go in and buy them or she'd have got suspicious....so we gave her a list and told her they were for Lady...nothing out of the ordinary...or so she thought! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I started it back in the summer sitting in the sunshine in my back garden. I was confident it wouldn't take that long...Oh how wrong I was! In between working and still trying to get our business orders fulfilled I was stitching when I could, but it took forever!! In fact I didn't finish it until about a week before Mum's birthday! Woops!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Again I then had to work out what I was going to do with it. The last time the two little cats had been finished, Mum ironed the backing fabric onto them...this time I had to do it myself!! Gees was I nervous. BUT I DID IT..yay me!! Then I had to put it onto a card...what I'd planned to do didn't quite work and I was far too afraid to cut the thing in the Calibur in case I hit the stitching ...months of work would have been for nothing...Uh oh...I spent all day putting the card together, but once I had, I couldn't quite believe I'd made it...and all by myself!! I was practically dancing on the ceiling haha. All I had to do then was wait to give it to Mum...I didn't quite make it to her birthday..I had to give it to her the night before...I wanted her to see! I hadn't quite bargained on her crying...but she did, and she loved it!! For all the months I'd said "I can't I'm busy" whilst seemingly to her was doing nothing, and all the times I'd disappeared during the time I was stitching, Mum finally understood why!! Why was it?? Well look....</div>

I had to be a little cheeky and use her Memory Box Flowering Vine die to finish the card, but I'm sure she'll forgive me! In fact I have this card in the bank for at least another month or two...That is until I stitch the next one...the big one I was originally scared of, but it's my 2014 challenge piece, so I'll let you know in November how it worked out haha! Look closely and you'll see I've stuck some of the little die cut butterflies onto the aida too! Oh and I only had to unstitch the occasional bit of Fizzy Moon that I'd messed up! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh I was proud of him...still am. Even Lady was impressed. So much so that when I showed her she said "I can't wait to get my cross stitched birthday card...WAIT!! WHAT!!! I hadn't planned to do her one...Fizzy had taken months and I only had 5 days...uhoh!! But as I couldn't leave her disappointed I tried my best and made her this...</div>

Better news than that...today is Friday, so I can share another felt make with you...woohoo!!<br />
<br />
Today's make is my favourite so far...In fact I know Mum loves them too as she's requested one for herself...although I told her to make it herself as she's got no chance of me doing it haha (Sorry Mum). I just can't sew that neatly, not am I THAT clever!!<br />
<br />
What am I jibber jabbering about?? Well, look....<br />

Seeing as how we're back in business and keeping this blog up to date with all of our crafty makes, I'm itching to show you all a few of Mum's latest felt makes. The only problem with that is we wet ourselves up to have "felt Friday" last time, and...well it's only Thursday!! So I've decided as I can't wait, that today is now ThursFriday! AND as there's Friday in that title, I can show you a felt make (yes, yes, I know it's cheating...just don't tell Mum!).<br />
<br />
So when you're ready...<br />
<br />
Twit...<br />

Now I'm not the biggest fan in the world of owls, but I do love these....She's getting ever so clever with her felting makes is Mum (Just wait til tomorrow and you'll see what I mean!) </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But then she tried using a mixture of felt and fabrics, which are so much cuter! Not only that, but you can make them more colourful and in so many different colours...</div>

<div>

<div>
I just walked in to find...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Lol ok this is not where this post was supposed to be going! Nope it was instead just supposed a short update to let everyone know that we're back and will be updating both the blog and our facebook page more regularly. So to everyone who has stuck with us over, and to all the new people we're looking forward to meeting over the coming year...a big HELLO and THANK YOU for joining us!! We hope you'll enjoy reading about our crafty makes.<br />
<br />
Talking of crafty makes...2013 wasn't the greatest of years for us all at Little-Lady's, but despite that we were still crafting. I won't bore you with all of the things we've made over the last however many months...that would take hundreds of posts...Oh wait a second lol!! Hmm. Perhaps I should set myself another of our "post a day" challenges? For how long? Well...lets see how long our crafty makes last shall we lol<br />
<br />
So starting with today...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Back in November we spent the weekend in Birmingham at the Hobbycrafts show at the NEC. For anyone that doesn't know or hasn't been. They turn the NEC into one almighty craft shop with hundreds of stalls selling an array of things we always decide we don't need, yet inevitably walk away laden with bags of goodies! One of the items we decided we didn't need was a snowflake die. "will we really use it that much"..."Do we need it" were just a couple of the questions we'd asked ourselves. Yet as you're probably guessing, we did in fact buy it. Oh and what a bargain it was too. Not only did we use the die, but I think we 'over used' the die!! Well, it was difficult not to once we'd seen how pretty it could be! </div>

So I think we proved we DID need the die! lol For our not so crafty friends, the 'die' part was the snowflake background. It's cut four times in the differing colours, then glued to it's opposing colour. Add the circles on top of that with a very cute 'snowy' and another snowflake, and voila! You have this card (in lots of colours). And for our more crafty friends, the die we used was 'snowflake mesh border - B372 by Cheery Lynn Designs, snowy is a stamp from Penny Black and the 'Let it Snow' was from Tonic Studios as part of the Christmas Sentiment Die set 1.<br />

"Can I have a nappycake please" Donna said..."It's for twins" she said...Ooo tick tick tick went the sound of Mum's brain thinking up all kinds of wonderful new things she could do to make a "twins" nappycake. There were flashes of bunting, hints of huge tiers...then in the end she made these...</div>

The parents receiving this gift hadn't wanted to find out what they were having until their babies were born, so we had a neutral colour pallette to play with. But not wanting to go with the traditional green/lemon, we chose a lilac and white palette which I think I prefer....looks cute doesn't it? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So with a lilac colour palette chosen, making a matching card became really easy...</div>

For today's post I have 5 cards to share with you....Back at the start of the year (which feels like so long ago now), Allie gave us a great big long list of cards she'd like us to make! In fact the list is so long that no matter how many cards we make it just seems to keep increasing! So you're probably thinking there's a selection of the cards Allie's asked us to make in this post right? Nope, you'd be wrong! Today's post is all about Allie's youngest Daughter Annya.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today is in fact Annya's 11th birthday...Happy Birthday Annya...Allie placed her order, and we followed with our usual questions...is there anything in particular you'd like on them?? Does she have a favourite colour?? When do you want them for etc. Our brief was Pink, girlie and Tatty Teddy...my favourite kind of cards! I do love a girlie Tatty Teddy card...flowers, glitter, polka dots. ribbon, the list of pretty things is endless! Only problem is when you've made so many tatty cards it becomes increasingly difficult to come up with new ideas...let alone 5 different images and 5 different cards for the same person...but I've never been afraid of a challenge haha! So I gave it a go ....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First up there's tatty with the birthday cake....I threw everything girly into this card...ribbon, cupcakes, flowers, polka dots and flowers...plus to let you in on a little secret, tatty is supposed to be holding a blue (not very girlie) cupcake with sprinkles...but I preferred the pink flowery one, so I adapted it to make it even more girlie haha!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqG5bYhZ-NaHVOJjYOwTvUfNLpo6xvdWsiAq1FxZ_QEtp4Qh5qO-86SGyCR5bGv7zM_LiufQLMYmQ6k9CFqQWosu7cHW7YUXndUDXSEKaJWUnF_aiAzhI1stTmQrZDP6XJ8DwFM4BeEk4/s1600/A2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="361" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqG5bYhZ-NaHVOJjYOwTvUfNLpo6xvdWsiAq1FxZ_QEtp4Qh5qO-86SGyCR5bGv7zM_LiufQLMYmQ6k9CFqQWosu7cHW7YUXndUDXSEKaJWUnF_aiAzhI1stTmQrZDP6XJ8DwFM4BeEk4/s400/A2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then there's tatty with the presents...another "adapted" card...that tatty image is originally carrying something else in his basket...but as time goes on I'm getting better at adapting the images to make new ones that we haven't used before...perhaps I'm getting too clever haha!! </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
followed by tatty with the birthday hugs ... Allie told us that one of Annya's favourite animals was a rabbit, so I couldn't resist using this tatty with her bunny!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLKY4VGAYYZZj4OvA_errZCBi3Vx9iNjNx7fGXlByOIVeoZtedyBC3lbmHCJK-varyTv8x4xIouAr9zWwuXE3lVm5PS4yDK8H5pYeHEQiQK3LOeWiuc-xl6aY0mLYp922BMUZ2F1T40NU/s1600/A4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLKY4VGAYYZZj4OvA_errZCBi3Vx9iNjNx7fGXlByOIVeoZtedyBC3lbmHCJK-varyTv8x4xIouAr9zWwuXE3lVm5PS4yDK8H5pYeHEQiQK3LOeWiuc-xl6aY0mLYp922BMUZ2F1T40NU/s400/A4.jpg" width="330" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then there's Annya with her birthday badge and banner... I've created almost everything on this card...I made the backing paper...I hand stitched the letters on the bunting...I cut out the butterflies...I put the badge on tatty...all so that a special little girl gets a very special card from her Mummy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And finally there's Tatty bring love from Nan...We'd actually made all of the other cards and delivered them to Allie safe in the knowledge that our work was done! Or so we thought, as when Allie's Mum saw the rest of her cards she wanted one too! So with lots more thought and a bit of "I need another tatty that's different again" I made this one! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope you've had a lovely birthday Annya </div>

January 31st is my Dad's (Papa) birthday. Every year we face the same thing...what do we do! You see Papa's not really a big fan of much...he likes football, he has his own team but doesn't spend his weekends on the terraces....he likes American football, but he can't go to the games as he's not in America! (or so we thought)...he's not a big drinker...he doesn't play sport...in fact he's a pain in the posterior!<br />
<br />
There's a few things he does like, but we've already made cards etc for most of them....our only option is to use the same things but in different ways...which is both difficult and takes a lot of thought! Thankfully though we're a creative bunch, so always manage to come up with something new...eventually!<br />
<br />
This year was certainly no exception when it came to thinking of new ways of doing things....but for a big change I'm going to start the sharing off with Lady's project first. Lady made Papa a very pretty card...she had a pattern, but wasn't quite sure if it was the right "boat". From the instant she said "boat" I could her Papa's voice in my head saying "it's not a boat it's a ship"...I swear it's gotten to the point now where I call it a boat just to wind him up haha! After telling Lady it was in fact the right "boat", she made this...<br />

Titanic! Ooo and if anyone was in any doubt, the instant I mentioned that Lady wasn't sure if it was Titanic, Crusty said "it is because it's got four funnels...the fourth one's fake"...Do you see how much our Papa's bored us with all his waffle hahaha!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, that was Papa's favourite "boat" covered ...next up Mum made a card using an image she found a long time ago. My Brother ( Gareth but we call him Vinnie) has always said our Papa looks like Mario from Super Mario! I have to admit it is sort of true...</div>

Haha he even has Papa's grumpy face! This one was in fact made from Vinnie. When Vinnie took the card out of the envelope to write it, he giggled...that's when you've made a good card...if Vinnie approves then you've created something amazing! Ooo and the old man? Well, he is old! </div>

Remember how I said Papa likes to watch American football? Well "his" team is the Chicago bears. I was randomly searching for an image for another project way back in September when I stumbled upon the little "dabears" man that I couldn't help thinking just like my Dad! So for months now I've known exactly what I was going to use...the only bit that changed was once I had the Grand Calibur I got to make lots of shapes that I didn't have to cut myself haha!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Remember how I told you I'd be sharing more of Mum's butterfly creations? Well, today those butterflies have been created in felt! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As I previously mentioned, Mum and I were worried about buying the grand calibur machine and then never using it. We really needn't have worried though. Once we discovered just a fraction of what the machine can do, it was used for all sorts... as with any die cutting machine, you do have to purchase the dies too, but once you have those you're well on your way to making anything and everything using the grand calibur. All you need is a bit of imagination! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On a visit to one of the recent craft shows I'd overheard people talking about using their Grand Calibur's for materials other than paper or card. I couldn't quite believe it would work, but having made a few cards using the butterfly dies, I was desperate to try using the machine on something new...I knew it could be done, but wasn't sure how. So I consulted my usual "how to" guide - Google! Yep, I'm a firm believer in "if you don't know the answer- google it"!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'll admit once I knew how, it was a lot easier than I'd expected. It also didn't take long for Mum to come up with some ideas...starting with this...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP1OMwyavyIYurI_wfhqN2gASW35pOIXHvA_UolY70zbtrOIF6UTPWFppW-Lr2HYHXX79CJajbxDPuTJ9Kdllv2WtQayjAyXcoYNrOtvKu6unO7FWjv5B_u9QzViDCaPRTSndTw-GflSY/s1600/But1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP1OMwyavyIYurI_wfhqN2gASW35pOIXHvA_UolY70zbtrOIF6UTPWFppW-Lr2HYHXX79CJajbxDPuTJ9Kdllv2WtQayjAyXcoYNrOtvKu6unO7FWjv5B_u9QzViDCaPRTSndTw-GflSY/s400/But1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mum had made felt phone cases before, but this was the first ones she'd made using pre-cut felt shapes...check out those butterflies! Every one the right size, and every one with a clear crisp finish...add a few beads here and there and hey presto you have your phone case...simple when you have the tools and know how haha! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And as usual with Mum, after making one, there's no stopping her...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Butterflies and flowers, both of which of course cut using the grand calibur. The only problem is the Calibur doesn't stitch it all together for you haha! Nope, that's all still done by hand - and if you ask Mum she'll tell you they're stitched by hands that hurt!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With more ideas in the pipeline, I'm sure you'll be seeing a heck of a lot more of the uses we've found for the Grand Calibur! Ooo and if any of our fellow crafters are searching for the same answer that I did. To cut felt or fabric in a Grand Calibur machine, you cut it exactly the same way as paper/card, using the same plates...I'd just advise running it through a few extra times to ensure it definitely cuts...simple!</div>

For my birthday (just before Christmas) I had a very special present. I've reached that age now where I have everything I physically need. I don't grow (ever) so don't need bigger clothes or shoes. So it seems that my birthday causes a lot of people headaches with what to buy me haha! Like I said though, I got a very special gift for my last one...a grand calibur! (and for all the non crafters out there, that's a machine that cuts things for you!). The machine is so expensive. We'd been looking at it for a while but just couldn't justify spending so much money on something we may never use...Now I have it though I can honestly say it's the best crafty thing we've EVER brought. It's been constantly used since the day I took it out of the box, so much so that it already looks like it's about 3 years old ...woops!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Having the grand calibur means we can now create even better cards with even more intricate detailing without the need to cut yourself with a craft knife (by the way that seriously hurts!). So when we were recently asked to create some card by people who were unsure of what they wanted, Mum decided to use my Calibur and made these...</div>

Having found the image of tatty with the butterfly on his top, she matched it with the paper and then used the grand calibur to create the ever so pretty butterflies to give it that "extra" touch...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As you can see, you have the ability to add the shape of the butterfly and then add the "fiddly" cut butterfly layered on top! How pretty is that!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well it generally goes a little something like this...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Sock (what birthday is complete without new socks)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Chocolates/sweeties (obviously!!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Bath products (well I don't want you to smell)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. A notebook (for all those important things you need to do/buy)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Over the years this has gone on to include certain things for certain people too...for instance I have to buy my friend Suzanne an umbrella...if I don't buy it then it will rain on her birthday...if I buy her a new one then it's sunny!! This law also dictates that Lady has to have something to do with chickens on her birthday (really, don't ask!!).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So when Christmas came around I looked at the list of laws and saw an opportunity...I can't knit socks...I can't make chocolates (I'd eat them all) I can't make bath products (I'd probably give everyone a rash)...BUT I can make personalised notebooks!...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have to admit, I chose the image...I chose the paper...I added it all together along with her name and made it look pretty...BUT there was no way I was covering it myself (I'd be far too likely to mess it up)...so Mum did that bit for me haha!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was ever so proud of that little notebook that if I hadn't put her name on it I'd have been keeping it for myself!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Ooo how I wish I was ...haha nope I really don't wish I was 50!! But then again if I got one of these pampercakes, then maybe 50 wouldn't be quite so bad haha</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Way back before Christmas we were asked to make this pamper cake for Bryony's Mum. Apparently she'd seen all the cakes we'd been making for other people and loved them so Bryony thought it would be nice to buy her one of her own. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With this cake we'd seen a new range of bath products that we were hoping to use, so when Bryony gave us a brief of purple it gave us the perfect excuse to use them! </div>

I've already shared with you how frustrating I find it that my birthday is in December, but thankfully I'm not alone! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Nope, one of Mum's oldest (and by oldest I don't mean age) friends also has her birthday in December! Plus she finds it just as frustrating as I do haha! Donna celebrated her birthday back on the 29th December and just like with my birthday, her family had to arrange the celebrations for a time away from the hustle and bustle of Christmas! It really is a pain...but then I guess it sort of works out so you have more than one birthday!! More than one birthday, but only one set of cards haha!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Talking of which, we were kindly asked by Donna's Daughters and Husband to make her birthday cards...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm always using Tatty teddy when it comes to Donna's sets of birthday cards for other people so I thought this year it would make a nice change to use a different character...I chose Tulip as some of the images seemed quite appropriate for Donna and her girls.</div>

You can't blame me for wishing can you? Much like all the "big" aged birthdays, I've always found a 21st birthday difficult to buy for. There's always a limited selection of cards to choose from...the gifts are all predictable and you're lucky if you don't buy the same thing as someone else. Thankfully as crafters I no longer have that problem!! Nope, now we get to make all kinds of different things for the "momentous" birthdays. The most popular gift at the moment seems to be the pampercakes...you can make them personal to the recipient by using their favourite things...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This one for instance is all "pinked" out! We even managed to get the chocolate to be pink too haha! Plus with pink being the theme of the gift, it made it easier to decide what to do for the card...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As I told you yesterday, we're back posting with a vengeance! Plus, not only that but we're also bringing back Felt Friday!! Starting today I shall be sharing just a few of the things Mum's been making out of felt...For months now she's been stitching this and that by hand, but for Christmas my Dad was kind enough to buy her a sewing machine! What's she been stitching with it I hear you ask? Well actually as of now it's still sitting in it's box!! Yes, that's right...in the box!! For month's she'd been planning what she'd do with the thing, yet now she's got it she's not used it haha!! I should probably tell you she's a bit scared of breaking it...she needs time to be able to sit and play and figure it all out...time that right now, none of us have...so until she gets that time she's still stitching everything by hand. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What has she been stitching?? Well, anyone remember <a href="http://littleladyscrafts.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/the-return-of-felt-friday.html" target="_blank">Barry</a>? (Barry was the little penguin phone case Mum made). Barry now has friends!!....</div>

Isn't it cute!! I haven't named the little monkey as this one's not mine. Having seen Barry, Mum was asked to make other animals/versions of the phone cases. She's been stitching away at quite a few different designs...all of which I'd love to share with you...BUT...Mum forgot to take photographs of them before giving them away (woops). Monkey was actually the first one she finally remembered to photograph, so Monkey is what I get to show you haha!! </div>
