Circus Party Progress

Ok so its not a whole lot of progress but its a little!

Here are the Cupcake Toppers coloured in.

As in my last post on soon to be Miss 1's birthday, the stamp set used is the now retired Under The Big Top and was punched out using the 1-3/4" Circle Punch. I coloured all the characters in with the Stampin' Up Watercolour Pencils (but didnt water colour them, just coloured them in). I have since mounted them on some red 2-3/8" Scallop Circle Punches, but I wont do a whole new blog post just about mounting them haha. 

I still have a fair bit to do for her party and its now only 3 weeks away!! Eeeek!!! I better pull my finger out and get working! So much to do, so little time!

This afternoon I am holding my first paid Class! We are making 2 Christmas Cards and 2 Bottle Tags! Stay tuned and Ill post these over the few days following the class!

Until next time,

Calling All Monsters!

A few weeks back you might remember a post about me sewing something special for my Godson's 2nd birthday?? Well his party was last Saturday so now I can FINALLY reveal his special gift!

A MONSTER!!! His Mummy and Daddy call him a Little Monster so they found it fitting to have a Monster Party for him! So Aunty Kirra decided a Monster Teddy would be the perfect present for a Little Monster :D

I kinda tought it looks like a frog, and one of the Birthday Boy's Cousin's said when he opened it "Wow! Froggy!" haha. So I guess it does look like a frog, but it's meant to be a Monster :P

And here is the special card I made for him :) 

Isn't the Monster on the front groovy! I used the following Stampin' Up! Punches to create him - Small Heart, Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, 2 1/2" (6.4cm) Circle, 3/4" (1.9cm) Circle and 1 3/4" (4.4cm) Circle. As well as the Wacky Wishes Hostess Stamp Set. 

All of these Punches can be purchased through me, if you would like to place an order, you can contact me at kirraleighbrooks@gmail.com or on 0402 906 605.

Let me know you popped in!

Until next time,

Birthday Preparation For My Soon To Be 1 Year Old!

Hello!

Well the count down is on and party preparations are in full swing for Miss I's 1st birthday! I can't believe its been nearly a year since she entered the world on Rememberance Day last year!

As soon as I saw the 2011-2012 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue last year I fell in love with the 'Under The Big Top' suite. So after deciding at that very point in time that no matter what gender Miss I was going to be, the 1st birthday party would be CIRCUS Themed!!!!
So here are some of my preparations so far.... I havn't done much and will post what I have done as it comes together put at the moment here are the sneak peeks of her party prep!

Ok so the first 3 photos of the 1 3/4" Circles with the 'Under The Big Top' characters on them are for cupcake toppers and party bag favours, I still need to colour them all in! That's going to take me some time haha, I am the worst colouring-inner haha.
The last 2 photos are embossed circus tents. This embossing folder (not a Stampin' Up! one) I happened to stumble across at our local craft market last month and for $7.00 I couldn't leave it there when it matched so perfectly with Miss I's party theme, so I got home and rethought her Invitations. These are the embossed tents on Red Cardstock. Tomorrow I will post a picture of the invites completed, the camera battery is on the charger at the moment.

Well Ill catch you back here tomorrow!
Until then!
Keep Smiling
