Christening Bookatrix Keepsake Card

Hello all on this lovely cold day bbrrrrrrr, its freezing here in the midlands, so im looking forward to spring..... oh gosh im wishing away the year already - but I do love spring. Ok enough ramblings now - I thought I would share my first project for 2010 which is a order from a new customer I picked up from the School Christmas fayre, all that hard work paid off so really pleased about that.

Here is a christening bookatrix keepsake card and box. I had originally planned to put two baby shoes on but it looked to cramped and decided that the one shoe looked better. I made the shoe using a template which I plan to upload onto my blog as a freebie eventually... when I get around to finding time to do it. In the meantime if anyone would like the template I can email it to you just drop me a request to caruff@hotmail.co.uk and I will forward it onto you.

I have another special card to do today as my daughter will be 30 next week... omg I really cannot believe that she will soon be 30 it only seems like yesterday when she was a baby...  hope she dont see these or im in trouble lol

here she is then

She always did have two biscuits one for each hand lol

and now, with her own daughter Megan...

Sorry about that little trip down memory lane, just feeling my age a bit now. It really does make you realize how quickly time passes us by when your children start to reach milestone birthdays lol.

Hope you have had a good weekend and its all back to normal now.

Bookatrix and Projects

Scottish Keepsake Bookatrix Project

Hello wow its been quite a long time since my last post and I have really missed updating my blog, but unfortunately due to several reasons I have been unable to keep up to date. But now im back and hoping to give Busy Bees Craft Place some much needed TLC.

Bookatrix cards seem to be quite popular at the moment I have had several orders for them lately, please forgive the me for the poor quality photos as my camera is not performing to well lately or maybe its myself. Oh well not to worry, this is a bookatrix for a scottish wedding and i made this with some gorgous organza and satin roses teamed up with some blue paper roses,

I used blue and green tartan themed backing papers. All the flowers are from Princess Favours and the backing papers I downloaded from Cuddly Buddly

Bookatrix Keepsake Wedding Card

Had to do a real quick card last weekend, while attending a funeral of a very old friend who we had not been in contact with for over 20 years we were invited to the evening do of a wedding the next day, needless to say I spent most of Saturday making this bookatrix, well I thought I really need to take at least a special card phew theres nothing like leaving things till the last minute

80th Birthday Bookatrix

I love doing these bookatrix cards for special occasions, this one is for one of my customers, I think the flower arrangments on these just make them look so special and the pull bow ribbons just finish them off perfectly they are great for weddings and anniversaries. The paper tea roses and pull bow ribbons are available from my website Princess Favours The borders were created using the Laura Ashley Stamps.
