Autumn draws to a close and we welcome the white snow...

With both blogger and my internet down, I haven't been able to work on posts... and I also started a new food blog with my friend Penguin which has taken up some of my time XD

Other than that, last weekend I made Japanese cold green tea somen noodles with dipping sauce :) I should have made carrot cake muffins today but ended up being too lazy because of the cold weather (you would think I'd want to use an oven) but I will make it tomorrow earlier in the day ^_^ I wanted to make red velvet cupcakes but the Coles I went to ran out of 600ml buttermilk
and only had the 1L which I didn't want to buy!

On another note, here is one of the cards I made for one of the volunteer coordinators who left last year.


It is quite simple, made with an origami flower and then decorated with ribbon, a ladybug, rub-ons, stickers and rhinestones. I mentioned that another card was also sort of based on it.

I really like this sticker too, I bought a set of them from Riot! Art & Craft and since they are clear stickers, they are quite versatile on different coloured cardstock :).

I should really get more rub-ons like that or maybe a more delicate stamp with a similar flowing design, as the stamps I have now have quite thick swirls.

do red cars go faster?

Occasion: My cousin's birthday

Inspiration

1. red theme
2. fast cars
3. the age old question about red cars


For my cousin's 21st, he had a red themed party... I would say that at least over half the people wore red :) The funny thing is that night I was a party where the colour theme was black and the birthday boy was gonig to dress in white (my friend and I who didn't really check the invite came in red)... what happened was he started a long e-mail thread and by the time I read it, it was one long chain e-mail so I just pulled out the er.. more important details :P

Anyway... being a car fan (my cousin, not me...) I just searched for a car related image and coloured it in nicely :) I printed off the Porsche logo, coloured it in with pearlescent chalks and added a sticker and some nice patterned rub-ons.

Inside is not so interesting but I didn't want it to be so red so just dashed on some chalked circles with a template!
