I’m back in my crafty room and so happy so happy to be here with you! So to celebrate I have a video to share and because I can (I am surrounded by my stash now lol) so I decided to coordinate a ‘few’ stamp sets in my Cards4Men design. Starting with Gerda Steiner’s Pool Piggies
It’s time for some more Yupo goodness… and my pool paving is the stamp for the springboard!
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at YouTube.
I also have a few Holiday Snippets in my video today and some more to come (when I get a chance to sort through everything). Big Crafty Hugs,

Your card is adorable ! I’d love to join your little Piggy, it’s so hot around here !
You live in a fabulous country, there are so many different landscapes and places to discover…. Thank you again for allowing me to share a little bit of this adventure with you.
Cute card Therese, I love that little piggy in the pool! Thanks for sharing your holiday snippets, we live is such a big beautiful country don’t we!
Super-cute card! I’ve so enjoyed seeing your holiday snippets. Thanks for sharing and enjoy the rest of your time before heading back to work.
You have just sent shivers down my spine looking at that cool piggie in the pool Therese! Just went out and put some bird seed out and quickly came back inside. Roll on Summer! He’s adorable just laying in the warm sun on the lie low. Love the AI pool colours and the bricks. Fabulous fun card. Thanks again for showing more of our Oz. Looking forward to more when time permits. You must be sooooooooo busy after your long holiday. Hugs.
Cute card! Have thoroughly enjoyed your travel video snippets and commentary. Very curious how many miles or rather kilometers you covered on your trip.
Hi Linda, we did just over 19,000kms (11,800miles)…. lucky our seats were comfy lol. Thanks so much for your lovely comments and for visiting, Crafty hugs, Therese
Welcome home Therese – your trip must have been amazing – I’ve so enjoyed seeing the snippets of that beautiful part of our country and the world! Very cute card – love your AI colouring too. I have found that even though dry, the AI seems to rub off on my fingers a little – when it matters, I have found Micador Matt Spray works beautifully, without changing the colours or texture (from Riots Art and Crafts).
Thanks for the tip Ann, I might have to get some of that spray. Hugs Therese
I enjoy seeing your man card so much! That nupo paper looks fun to work with. I assume it is something I’d have or order right? Or, do the large chain craft stores carry it? Thanks for sharing Therese! And, I love seeing holiday photos!
Hi Denise, I think you would be lucky to get Yupo paper in a large chain store, but perhaps if they were an art supply store you may just get lucky. I have always bought mine online from specialty papercraft stores. Hope this is helpful, Crafty hugs, Therese
I had no idea of the awesome beauties of Australia. I look forward to more of your wonderful videos. Thank you very much.
Darling card. The pool is amazing. Welcome home!
Haha that is such a sweet card! 🙂
Such a cute card! Great video, too!
Thanks for sharing some more peeks into your vacation as well! 🙂
Cute piggy, Therese … that pool looks sooo tempting in this heat!! Welcome home … and thanks for more awesome clips from your adventure. I’ve so enjoyed travelling vicariously … if I enjoyed it this much, your experience must have been positively magnificent! Hugs, Anita 🙂
The alcohol ink made a wonderful pool for that darling little piggy, Therese. I’ve enjoyed your adventures around Australia. The fact that you set up a mobile craft space to work while gone amazes me.
Always enjoy your cards, you are so talented. Thanks so much for sharing your holiday snippets, amazing.
Welcome back! perhaps you’ve gone off again 🙂 Thanks for sharing your holiday pics.
The card looks great to me and not at all like you were getting use to things again! 🙂
Welcome home! So nice to hear you’re not back on the job straight away and have a few more adventures on your horizon. That piggy in the pool is a perfect way to use both of those great sets together! Great look with the tile background as well! I’m just trying to catch up a bit as this summer has been a whirl wind of activity with my kids. Case in point: yesterday I spent 3 hours buttoning suspenders to the insides of coordinating band uniform pants for the upperclassmen and tomorrow I go back for 4 hours to do the same with freshmen. Did I mention that the students were wearing the pants at the time! Ha! Anyway, life is good and soon enough I’ll have more time to craft and blog.
It does sound like you have been very busy. You totally made me laugh out loud, I now have this suspender buttoning vision of you lol.
