August Team Swaps

Ok, so these are a little late, but better late then never right! Over the next 3 days I'll be showing you our team swaps for 'The Lasting INKpressions', my upline's team that I'm stoked to be a part of! 

Each month we have a theme to base our swaps around, and the theme for August was 'Weddings'.

Here is my take on a Wedding Card for our swaps :) - (supply list at the end of the post).



This card could also be made into an engagement or even a birthday card! Just a simple change of the sentiment and its anything you want it to be!

And tomorrow I will show you the swaps I received in return. 

I just love being a Stampin' Up Demonstrator and surrounding myself with lost wonderful talented crafty women!  Not only that but I also get a great discount on the products that I already love to buy!

Circus Party Photos Revealed!


Ok so as you all know, my littlest princess turned 1 over the weekend. And I showed off a couple of sneak peaks at different things I made for her Circus Party! Well without further ado, here are the piccies from her party. 
The Birthday Girl in her custom made outfit from Yazhi Lulu as an 'Acrobat'

The Loot Bag Table :)

The Food Table (with Mini Hotdogs, Cupcakes and Marshmellow Pops)

The Cupcakes!

The Marshmellow Pops!

The Cake and The Smash Cake!

My beautiful little family (getting a photo where all 4 of us are looking the same way and all smiling is a VERY VERY Rare thing, as you can see)

And the family tradition of a cake smash for the special 1 year old
The Birthday Girl after her Cake Smash haha

The poor cake when she was done haha

We had the whole party planned for outside, but the weather in 'Sunny' Queensland decided it was going to be nice and rainy and stormy so we cleared the house out (which was quite easy as half the house is packed) and had it inside. All the kids had a great time with their game cards and each got a sticker on their cards once they participated in the game (ring toss, ball toss, ring of fire, pluck-a-duck, can knock and stilt walking). Then then got a lollipop once their card was completed. 

If you want to know anything about the party, games, food etc, just leave a comment and Ill be happy to share my ideas with you :) 

Until next time,
Keep Smiling
Kirra :)
