First Birthday!

 

Hello, things have been a bit quiet around here, but I've been occupied with two little people who have just had their First Birthday - I can't believe how quickly this last year has gone.




As Peter Rabbit is their nursery theme, I had to use Peter Rabbit stamps, mine are not as big as I would have liked for these cards, so I stamped and then resized and printed them out on watercolour paper and fussy cut.  The floral wreath was from a freebie set of Christmas stamps (lots of good intentions, but they didn't get used at Christmas)  so this is the first time inking here.
We had a lovely Birthday Tea and DIL made a fabulous cake.




I didn't get around to showing the Christmas cards I made, I used a very old Sugar Nellie Snowman, along with a couple of freebie magazine stamps, there's lot of glitter which of course doesn't show and I used Flowersoft  for the fur on the jackets.


Well, that's about caught up for now and I'll be back on Tuesday with the first challenge of the year at Try it on Tuesday which is ??????

Thanks for calling in,

Avril xx

    The Peter Rabbit cards are adorable Avril and as for the birthday cake, well so yummy ! Doesn't see, five minutes since the twins were born ,they don't stay bablies for long so it's good to spend as much time as possible with them
    too. The snowmen cards are lovely, love their furry jackets

    It doesn't seem possible that the twins have turned 1 year old! I bet the Mum believes it!!
    Love the cards - Beatrix Potter has always been one of my favorites.
    I must say that the cake looks fabulous and delicious too. Hard to believe it isn't a bought cake. It is also hard to believe that you are thinking about Christmas 2022! But you know how fast time flies.
