How quick does time pass?

I cant believe that the last time I sat down to write down everything that I had been up to was way back in February time. So so much has happened it that time , I don't even know where to start.

Well first things first we have finally moved into our very own home. :) and it is amazing I couldn't ask for anything better. There is one very happy girl. We have been so busy making a house a home doing our fist ever DIY! which hasn't always gone to plan. But never mind its well hidden. 

Say hello to number 55.


And of course that always means a toast is needed.. crack open the bubbly in our new purple kitchen (My fav room)


As we have moved our life our of our parents houses and into ours it was only fair that I set up home with a sparkling new studio... Ikea has been my best friend, I must say we are now the King and Queen of how to put up a flat pack. All kinds of furniture we have done it. 


And all that is now needed to finish off my little creative space is a book shelve to store all my creative inspirational books... which is on its way :) happy days.

With all the excitement of moving home, my littler sis has all been continuing her adventure across the world. As I write this she is now in Africa which is now her last stop on here 5 month trip. Crazy how quickly it as gone, so in just 19 days she will be flying home to see us all and I can not wait to see her.


She up loaded this amazing picture of her a few weeks ago and I must say I am very jealous of all the fun she is having and the amazing places she is getting to see. The trip of a life time and I cant wait to hear all her stories and see all her brilliant photos.

With all of this going on I am pleased to say that I have made time to do some designing and keeping my to date with my craft which is a true passion for me.
Cards, Gift Wrap and Invitations have been on the cards lately for me. Just as I was moving one of my good friends we moving to a new house as well so this meant a new home card of course...


I created two different designs, but of course I didn't send one to my new house!


Also there has been mothers day to celebrate all the wonderful mummy's out there.


Sticking with the same colour scheme i designed a gift wrap to go along side this card, which can also be used on its own and can stand out in the crowd.


This is no the best image and apologies for this however I will up load a better one ASAP. I also like the idea of this pattern to be used as a series of notebook cover. I think its fun and playful, just what you need when you are making notes in school or college something to keep you attention. 

And not to forget there is always a birthday card in amongst all this designing. 



And how could I forget out new address card that I have send out to all our families.




Count down to wedding day...

It is just over 6 months and counting until my brother gets married, eeek how grown up and I am on a wedding invitations and accessories designing mission. I am creating all the stationery for them from, save the date, invitations, RSVPs to table place settings. the pressure is on but I love doing it. I love the designing making and creating, I also can't wait to help sent up the table displays. Im so excited. 
Here is a sneak peak at my creations in design stage...



Its all starting to come together.
