They say the best things come in small packages
Given that my crafty time has diminished since the arrival of Miss Pi, I have fallen in love again, with tiny notecards.
Notecards are a great way to use up scraps of paper and all those extra embellishments or cut offs that you never for round to using.
There was a piece of kraft cardstock on my desk that has given life to a few tiny notecards, heres the first one.
These Hero Arts stamps are perfect because the greeting is small, clear and so versatile (and cost effective too)
The cupcake is from the Bake me a cake line of papers from 3 bugs in a rug and the floral papers are from Echo Parks Victoria Garden range. They work beautifully together.
And….
the winner of the scrapbook paper giveaway is EllenM
I have also picked a bonus winner who will receive some random goodies from the craft stash –
Renee Schimel.
congrats you guys, send me your addresses – lez(at)hungryheffycrafts.com

Happy weekend everyone! Woooohoooo. I love the weekend because it means lots of time with my two favourite people. One with stripy legs and one with denim legs.
This weekend’s project is half crafty & half practical and means that I get to play with my sewing machine…but more about that soon.
I wanted to share a layout which was recently in The Scrapbook Magazine (issue 57). The theme was Art Deco, so i made these little flowers by layering circles on top of each other. I love the way they turned out.
Its hard to believe that this photo was taken almost one year ago exactly. I remember those days vividly. As much as I loved having a newborn in my hands, I am really having lots more fun with a 1 year old. Being able to play together, communicate with one another and share moments which are special for both parties is the best feeling ever!
Todays fun and games – Piper’s first proper bike! Granny Oman send a surprise package in the post (thanks for the happy mail Gran-O) and I spent yesterday evening building the bike so it would be ready for today. When Pi came downstairs this morning she must have sat on my knee for a good few minutes before she started staring over at the bike. Then she turned and made the bunny rabbit sign.
Even though we didn’t have a sunny day we went for a test drive. It was so precious seeing her little smiling face as we were out and about. I think this bike is going to be used a lot!
I love this smile so very, very much!
Have a great weekend!

A couple of weeks ago my friend Lisa had a very important job to do, and no, it wasn’t making me a cuppa tea (although she totally rocks at that!). Lisa got called to duty as a birthing partner for her sister Ellie.
Throughout the whole day i think i was more excited than she was, texting constantly, demanding updates on contraction lengths and the stages of pain relief. It made Piper’s birth come flooding back to me and that always brings a smile to my face.
Ellie and little Kacie Faye came for a visit today at work and i got a little squish. You really do forget how tiny they are at the start. When I got home tonight, Piper felt bigger than ever before! How do they grow so fast?
So here’s a little card I made for Kacie to welcome her into the world.
Congratulations Ellie and Lance (and Aunty Lisa).x
