Anyone for Pizza?

This project is a 'work in progress' type.  It is my youngest son's birthday at the weekend and he is going to be 8.  He has requested a 'Make Your Own Pizza' party at Pizza Express.  As usual, I have left it until the last minute to get out the invitations but I have told the children and parents involved about the event.  This is just a fun confirmation invitation really that will have the location and time details on it (on the back probably).

It's all made from coloured paper and thin card.
The 'tomatoes' were cut out using a circular hole punch.
and I added details with marker pens around the pizza base edge and on the tomatoes.

All in all, quite a fun project to make really.

Other news and my husband has come back from China and he has announced that tomorrow we are going to buy a Wii!  Lots of fun and games!

See you tomorrow,

Hoppy Easter

This may look a bit familiar - Helen of It's All Fiddle Fart' (amongst others) makes some brilliant versions of these.  This is my blatant copy variation on  it that I have made for my sons:

..and close up:

I used my shaped photo frame to draw around the frame (the same one as I used for my valentine's treats) and folded it in half.  I cut the grass from green paper and I used a copy of a newpaper colouring picture for the image of the rabbits.  The writing and the stitches  were done by hand.  I stapled a plastic card bag with the eggs in it to the bottom

In our household I have to make  two bags exactly the same with EXACTLY the same amount of eggs in, otherwise I'll get one boy complaining!  (These particular eggs came from a corner shop newsagents, 99p).
