Oh my goodness how cute is this cake.  Not only cute but super duper easy to make too.. Ingredients: your favourite cake your favourite icing Kit Kat bars (I bought 3 packs of 8 of the snack size) Sweetened coconut flakes (I used about 1/3 to 1/2 of a 14 oz. bag) Green food colouring Cadbury Mini Eggs ribbon Directions: 1. Bake your favourite cake recipe for a two-layer, 8" or 9" cake. (For this cake, I used Duncan Hines yellow cake mix.) Make sure to even out your layers so there's some room left at the top for your coconut. 2. Frost with your favourite icing. (For this cake, I used Duncan Hines chocolate icing.) 3. Press the Kit Kat bars around the cake gently. 4. Place the coconut in a zippered plastic bag. Add drops of green colouring (I used 4) and close the bag. Shake until the colour blends evenly. Add more colouring if necessary. 5. Sprinkle the coconut over the top of the cake. Add the mini eggs. 6. Tie a ribbon around the Kit Kat bars. inspir...

Hi all, hope you are well. Here is another Gorjuss Girl card.  I know, i know i am so addicted to them.  I think she is super cute.  So yes, expect to see many many more of them over the next year or so. So i made this one using just scraps and stamps i had.  I know a £0 card... you cant get better than that. I got my inspiration from  The Card concept challenge #170  titled Wearing O' The Green.  I loved using this green i really think it brought out the colours.  I have to say - it looks a little ski-wiff from the photo..i didnt notice that whilst i was making it :( That aside - i love her.. and very very simple to make... I stamped the stamp on white stock card, coloured it in with my DecoTime Aqua Markers, i choose a cute little green themed outfit, well it is nearly St Patricks Day. This was set to one side to dry For the main body of the card, i cut the green stock card to the bottom of the scallops, i used a cute little white with matchi...

Wow, this has been a long week.. I honestly cant wait until the weekend. I think it been boring this week, because my sciatic has kicked off again, and its too painful to do my usual weekly chores, so apart from the basics - i.e cleaning the kitchen and tidying round the living room. so i have been watching trashy murder dramas. and waiting for the kiddos and hubby to come home from work. I did make it to my card making class this week though :) We made this card this week at class.  This is the first male card i have made.  Its a very simple card to make.  I hope you enjoyed my sharing.

Here is a quick and simple gift you can make with the children for mothers day. These can be made up in a matter of minutes and they dry very quick too so you can make them and take them the same day! These bouquets are so easy to make, have your child put some paint on their hand, if you have more than one child then have each of them put a different coloured paint on their hands – maybe it’s best to do it one at a time, so there are not little paint prints all over the house 😊 Once they have paint on their hands put their hand print on the paper. Add some stems along with a little green ribbon bow. You can write your message on top once the children have finished their printing.   Also pop some little painted hearts in the background for some added interest. These would also look cute on a long piece of paper showing each handprint as single flowers in a field. If you don't have time to post these out for Mother's Day....take a picture and email or text your Mum a b...
