Time For Tea

Today's card was made with my girls in mind; they love going out together for coffee or a pot of tea. DD13 talked me into buying this die set when I was browsing an online store last month and this is the first time I've used it. I love the shapes, they are so homely and comforting somehow - even for someone who doesn't drink tea!

I loved making the little tea bag, with it's cord hanging out of the cup, lol!

Materials used:

• stamps - Morning Cup
• card - pool party, calypso coral, Domestic Goddess DSP, whisper white
• punches - large oval, scallop oval
• other - dimensionals, white bakers twine, sponge daubers, blender pen
• non SU - MFT time for tea die set, paper doily

Both girls love it but DD13 complains that looking at it makes her want a cup of tea! Hope you like it too.

Thanks for calling in.

Smells So Good

DD19 is coming home tomorrow for Easter and as a special treat for us all DD12 decided to bake up a storm today! She is making my favourite NZ cookies - Ginger Crunch - plus DD19 and DH's favourite - Belgium Biscuits - as well as stewing some apples, so the place smells DIVINE right now! Mmmmmmmm, spices! ginger, cinnamon, mixed spice ..... wow, wish you could all be here to share this delightful aroma!

I thought I would make a card for DD19, just for fun, and wanted to use a sentiment from SU's Morning Cup set. My elder daughter is most definitely NOT a morning person and when she does have to (begrudgingly) get up for an early lecture (or to fly home!) she copes a whole lot better with a good cup of coffee inside her. Here's her card:

And of course DD12 deserved something special too for her baking efforts (she can't eat them herself), so I "whipped up" a very similar card for her:

I am such a lucky mum to have two gorgeous and wonderful daughters!

Non SU materials used: Martha Stewart punches, Kaiser giant pearl brads

Thanks for stopping by.
