My Great Niece Bella's 1st Birthday

Morning Bloggers, another rainy day in South West London.  Where's our flaming June! gone.  Well it was nice yesterday in Bromley. I went to my Brother Kevin's house for a barbeque it was my Nieces' daughter Bella 1st Birthday. It was brilliant sunshine and had lots to eat - no bread for me Chicken and salad and prawns and all goodies trying to lose weight for my hols.  I made a stepper card with lots of lovely paper from the DCWV glitter stack. A Stamping Bella  baby mermaid stamp which is one of three in the set - I just had to use this one it's so cute, but the main stamp is one of the older stamps from LOTV whose stamps I just adore too. - I just really love stamps thats my problem, sometimes I buy them because I like them and then ages later I use it.

I used copics as usual for the colouring, lots of glitter glue came out. I also used Wild Orchard Crafts lace with a little bit of ribbon I found in my very large drawer of ribbons - another favourite hoard. The little word is from a Paula Pasqual set of word stamps. Bella is cut out from a quickutz alphabet I have had for years called Moxie and the little frame is from quickutz too. I just love die cutting and stamping they are both my favourites in making cards. The cupcakes are from a Marianne D set it also has a candle which I didn't use, but I did use the cherry don't you think it's cute with some glossy accents on it.

Hope the weather picks up it makes everyone so miserable when it keeps on raining. Well have a good Sunday where ever you all are. Big Hugs and love JO. xxxx
