Anything but a Birthday!

Hello there...lovely to see you!

I'm sorry that I haven't been around much in blogland this week...after my lovely week off work I was rudely brought back to reality with a rather busy work diary this week! I'm currently demonstrating some new software to colleagues around the business and this has meant trips to Leeds, our head office in New Malden and Cheltenham....lots of travelling!

Anyway, I wanted to say a BIG thank you to everyone for their lovely Birthday messages, I've really loved reading them all and will be visiting you all soon I promise. I had a brilliant birthday and a fab party last Saturday, everyone dressed for the occassion and we listened to rock n roll all night ......

 

This is me and Joe ready to party...my fab hair stylist Lucy gave me my retro do!

 

Everyone made such an effort...here I am with the girlies (and Gerty the puppy!)

 

Finally, it wouldn't be a blog post without some cake!

 

Soooo....today's challenge over at Sweet Stampin this week is really quite good for me. The challenge is "anything but a Birthday"....so we want to see your projects that do not include Birthdays! Considering all the lovely pressies I recieved last week I opted to make a thank you card....

 

 

I've gone all pretty and girlie for this card, using soft pastel colours to compliment the pretty doilly and flower paper. My cupcakes have been coloured with my Promakers and I have added a little bit of sparkle to the cherries.

 

Pop by the Sweet Stampin challenge blog to see all the fab projects that the Team Abi have created this week. While you're there you can find out about the fab prizes that our sponsors are offering this week...

Happy New Year!

Hello there, hope you're well today and looking forward to the new year! I'd like to thank all my followers and visiters for stopping by my blog in 2010, your support and kind comments are brilliant and really appreciated by me.

As its New Year's Eve I thought a celebration card would be perfect for my last card of 2010 and I've found three new challenge blogs (all with celebration as a theme this week) that I'm going to be following next year!

The inspiration for the shape of this card is from the Simon Says Stamp Challenge blog where the DT member Domi has provided a brilliant champagne bottle template. I used an oblong card blank that I shaped myself before adding the green patterened backing paper and the gold top. I love this cute little mouse image and thought it was perfect on a party card! I've coloured him using pencils and added a little glimmer with my new cosmic shimmer kit. I'd also like to enter this in the Sweet Stampin Challenge and the Stamp Fairy Challenge. 

Pop by all these blogs to see the super DT creations!

I hope you all have a wonderful evening whatever you're up to!

Happy New Year and best wishes for 2011!
