The front and back of the little 10x10cm envelope are embellished with a collage of random pieces of olde world paper, stamps and lace. An aged brass feather and rivets bring a touch of steam punk to an otherwise soft and pretty project.<br />

I've had a hard 12 months and haven't been able to spend as much time as I'd like posting here on my blog. Anyway, it's the first day of summer here in the south and here I am to show you what's been happening through winter.This set of cards was inspired by Leni, a vivacious, fun loving and determined young woman who loves animals more than people and loves to dress up whenever she can!<br />

We were invited to cousin Debbies Kitchen tea (lots and lots of gorgeous sweets to eat) and of course I needed a card to go with the gift.<br />
A black and white wrapping paper inspired the theme of the card. I used a 'stack of gifts' stamp on the cover from the "Happy Moments" stamp set ..............<br />

I have closed a couple of my shops that weren't so busy and am concentrating on those that are...Ebay would you believe.<br />
The point is, some of the photos in my posts might look a bit odd until I can edit them, however, the computer housing all the photos has gone on strike so I have to wait for the computer guy to have a look.<br />
My husband told me to back them up :(<br />
Anyway, here's a link you might like to look at in the meantime.........<br />

An invitation to a family baptism and a friends baby shower has given me the motivation to grab the stamps and papers again and see what I can do........(the seasoned cardmakers make it all look so easy).<br />
Three baby cards required....three produced!<br />
See what you think........<br />

I joined the fantastic <a href="http://www3.stampinup.com/au/ena/">Stampin' Up!</a> company and am very quickly hooked. After just 1 month I was thrust into the NSW Regional seminar where everyone made and swapped sample cards showcasing there own individual ideas. I got over the nerves just long enough to swap my first attempt at a card....then I saw the efforts of the very experienced, creatives all around me :( .......I have a lot to learn, and look forward to the road ahead.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">We've come to the end of October and I can't leave without bringing to you the most beautiful of the birthstones, Tourmaline, the gemstone of many colours. The final companion of the late Empress of China. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The name Tourmaline comes from the Sri Lankan word tura mali - the stone of mixed colors. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Bi-colored and multicoloured tourmalines may be green at one end and pink at the other, watermelon tourmalines are green on the outside and pink on the inside....my favourite!! </span><br />
<div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;">Ancient legend says that tourmaline is found in all colors because it travelled along a rainbow and gathered all the the rainbow's colors. </span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;">Tourmaline is believed to strengthen the body and spirit, especially the nervous system, blood, and lymphs. It is also thought to inspire creativity and was used extensively as a talisman by artists and writers.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1xUIyw6QLcDgjlV2CCD9LTVhQh9XcEOlfECo8t2T-8H8sX_Ve6wDwLkB3BABZGaVPHu23uU68WRfxWybGhKOvVDouZWef4lodEMDOBudgh-qvjuankPZssN3_Dpy9yKKhHEUqF5MutQ/s1600/watermelon+tourmaline+c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a></div><br />

We have added a new line to our cake business....wedding favours (or bonboniere) to match the cake. Traditionally, the cake is the centrepiece of the wedding reception decor so why not match the favours with the cake for a fully co-ordinated look.<br />
<br />
<span font="" style="font-family: verdana;">Did you know that initially wedding favours were an extravagance at celebrations hosted by European upper classes, who </span><span font="" style="font-family: verdana;">had the wealth to provide elaborate gifts to guests. The early wedding favors began as small fancy boxes, known by their French name of bonboniere. They were crystal, porcelain or gold and often encrusted with precious stones. The delicate boxes were meant to hold bonbons or other confectionery delicacies, at a time when sugar was quite expensive. Sugar was also highly valued by all</span><span font="" style="font-family: verdana;"> and the tradition of providing gifts to guests was eventually adopted by people of modest means by choosing simple treats as gifts. The bride and groom are associated with good luck, a common </span><span font="" style="font-family: verdana;">thought was that everything they touched would be charmed. Many brides chose to distribute this good luck by preparing a small gift of 5 almonds, beautifully wrapped in an elegant fabric, to represent fertility, longevity, wealth, health and happiness.</span><br />
<span font="" style="font-family: verdana;"> </span><br />
<span font="" style="font-family: verdana;">We showed our range at the latest Bridal Expo in Sydney today. The response was great, especially to the test tube favours. This is the card we handed out with just a small sample for you to see. </span><br />

This is the wedding of our very own Liz and her Scotsman. Greek meets Scot made for a wonderful ceremony full of tradition from both cultures. Friends and family gathered together in the beautiful Hunter Valley Wine district for a whole weekend of fun, laughter and wine tasting!!<br />

<span style="color: #999999;">Elegant coffee and cream damask table runners and wall hangings and romantic flowers in softest shades of pink and cream, echoed on the top of the 3 tier cake made by the bride herself and on candelabras standing stately along the two long tables in the Great Cask Hall of the winery....a breathtaking scene straight from the pages of "Harry Potter"</span><br />
