Hollyhocks ...

Ooooooh I am loving, LOVING!! the new kit from Nitwit Collections. The papers are so beautiful I could seriously wallpaper my walls with them :) But, as I can't have them decorating my house I used them to make a card!

I used the new FQB Hollyhocks Collection from Nitwit Collections and the ribbon is a new pink satin from The Ribbon Girl

A few cards ...

I've got some cards to share today that I've been making over the last few weeks. I've been so busy with going on holiday first then my brothers wedding that I've never got around to posting them but here they are at last! I've listed all the supplies under each photograph

Beautiful papers from Nitwit Collections (these are digital papers but print out perfectly on your home computer and printer, I have a really cheap Epson printer, just a basic model but get brilliant results because the Nitwit papers are such good quality)

New Wine Glass Charms

These are the wine glass charms that I made recently for a Hen party. They were for a pink themed afternoon tea party. They were used as the place settings and looked lovely with pink and ivory balloons and favors on the table

I was also busy towards the end of the school year making 'special teacher' wine glass charms. They look great as they are in their organza bags or hung on a miniature bottle of wine

As always, all the wine glass charms can be tailored to meet your specific needs and theme. Check out my Wine Glass Charm page over at the Ribbon Girl or send me an email through their 'contact us' page to discuss your requirements, Andrea xx
