It's the birthday month!

or I should say months - August, September, October & November.  Sister's, daughter's, Brother-in-Law's (two of which are 50) and my husband.  Three 50's,  a 15 years, & a tenth birthday coming up.

Below is Brooke's birthday card and as you can see she turned 15.  I really enjoyed doing this card with new flowers from Green Tara.

Green Tara Roses, Small Green Leaves, Cherry Blossom, 4cm Heirloom, 2.5cm Black paper flower, Maya Road Trinket Pin and Shrinky Dink Happy Birthday.  All products listed are in stock at Scrap Box NZ.  The Banner stamp & Glitter Alpha & diamante's were from my own stash.

Hope your weekend is going well.

I've been creating ...

It was a while ago now and took me along time to get started.

My problem was what papers to use on this Mini Drawers by Kaisercraft.

I decided on the Sweet Nothings Collection by Kaisercraft which you can purchase from Scrap Box NZ's shop.  I first painted the whole unit in cream folk art paint (just what I had about).  

 I loved certain parts of the papers and wanted to use them on the drawers and the sides.  So I measured the drawers and placed them on the best bits to showcase the birds, bike and birdcage.

I had heaps of fun creating the top with Kaisercraft and Green Tara flowers.  Maya Road trinket pins, bakers twine, seam binding, pearls and that gorgeous butterfly is shrinky dink.

I don't know why I put it off for so long.  It was a great project and didn't take long at all when I knew what papers and embellishments I wanted to use.  Sometimes that's the hard bit, deciding on what in the stash to use.

If I've inspired you to have a go doing the Mini Drawers, they are in stock at present.  If you find they are out of stock the Mini Drawers can be ordered for you by emailing fiona@scrapboxnz.com 

All items in this post can be purchased from Scrap Box NZ's shop.
