My brother's Tropical 30th card...

 With my brother's 30th celebration, of course, I had to make a card that matched his tropical theme...

I found this Designer Paper from a few years ago, it was a Sale-a-bration one, I think & blinged it up with the Glimmer Paper & a couple of pearls.

 Then I decided to challenge myself with fussy cutting 30 of the tropical birds, from Bird Banter, a current stamp set - this is exactly what I needed immediately before going out the door to his party, right?

 I cannot, for the life of me, work out how to rotate this photo, before or after loading it, so you will just have to stretch your neck, to count them...but there are 30 of them, trust me!!

 Happy birthday Cameron, thanks for a great night!!

Happy Birthday Bro!!

A couple of weeks ago, we celebrated my brother, Cameron's 30th birthday - & what a party it was!!

We all had so much fun with the music, the food, the drinks & our extended family!!

There are 5 of us & we all pitched in to help with the food preparation. 2 of my sisters are pastry chefs & produce amazing work, so they did what they know best, making the cake & biscuits in the TROPICAL theme...

How incredible are the handmade biscuits & cake, hey? Just amazing!!

And that 'sand' is crushed biscuits!!

All those shapes are hand made!!

And Adam, Cameron's partner made this 1.5 metre 'Crockenbush' style palm tree!! It was fantastic!

 

My contribution was what I know, papercraft!! I worked on making the Ferraro Rochers into mini palm trees... Im pretty happy with how they turned out & how everything on the table came together!! And so was Cameron!!

 

It was such a great night, we absolutely celebrated Cameron's birthday & we are still talking about how great it was!!

Saleabration - Now is the time to celebrate!!

This is the most wonderful time of the year.... The Stampin' Up! year, anyway...

It's hot, hot, hot here!!

Here in Melbourne, Australia, it is super hot today!!

The temperature is 43 degrees or  109.4 Fahrenheit!! *GASP*

So what would you do during these extreme conditions????

On my list of things to do, I will clean my table, prepare my calendar for 2018 & make some cards I think!! My table is in the middle of the house, so if I keep the curtains closed, I just may cope ok while everyone else complains about it!!

And I have a close friend coming over tomorrow, so we need room to play, right?


See you on the cooler side of 43 degrees....
