WOYWW - Something is wrong.

I have been struggling for a large part of the day to get my photo's uploaded. Something is wrong, either with my computer or with my camera, but the photo's just do not want to upload to my computer. I did the next best thing, I found a photo that looks more or less like my desk. I have put away the punches and the marking is done and dusted! Its school holidays, Yay! If you are wondering what I am talking about go to Julia's blog ( http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/ ) and join the band of merry desk stalkers. I was hoping to show you my wonderful birthday presents, but because of the camera issues you will just have to be satisfied with my latest creations. I have been making some cupcake giftcard holders. Not as professional as some that I have seen around blogland, but I like them.
The first is a pink one with some matching cards. I am thinking of making these as invitations for my granddaughter's party. The papers are from Paper Explosion a local company and so are the stamps.
The next one is a set that I made for the lady that works in the school's office. She needed something for a wedding she is going to. The colour scheme is silver, green and orange. So I decided to concentrate on the silver and just use splashes of the other two, what do you think?
The card uses a stamp from LOTV and the trim is from Wild Orchid Crafts. The papers are from my scrapbox. Cardstock is Bazzil.
Here is a close up of the cupcake. I found the ribbon at Dubai Centre in Benoni and bought about 20 rolls - they are so cheap and I do need more ribbon don't I?

Hoprfully I can get the camera issues sorted and then I can show you my pressies. I got my Passport today (had to sit and wait 2 and a half hours just to collect it, but I am so grateful it only took two weeks, I am not complaining! So, Chicago here I come!

You have a lovely desk with some great crafty results coming from it but most of all I loved the story of the two girls. an excellent move on your part and great character building for those two lovely girls.
