With Heartfelt Thanks.
Here is my entry for the current CASE Study Challenge #12. I’m just loving my new Basic Grey – What A Pear stamps (they have been getting a real workout!). I enjoyed this CASE soooo much that I made two. Hope you’re having a fab…
The Chickens of Christmas!
I just love, love, love the idea of chickens on a Xmas card. We have 8 chickens & they are the funniest things to watch, they lead such busy little lives, not to mention those wonderful eggs! Anyway… I used…
Christmas Cheer!
So this makes Xmas card number 2! I think I should stop counting… it’s a little depressing. This is my entry for CASE Study Challenge #11. For some reason I struggled with this layout, so I stuck with the 3 panels,…

Just Because… it’s a challenge!
This is a card that I made to combine two challenges. I just love these colours in the The Play Date Cafe’s latest colour challenge, so I thought I would mix them up with the newest Clean & Simple FTL113. …
A Not so Spooky Challenge.
TSG is having another Colour Challenge, and the colours scream Halloween, but I was thinking of something completely different… Obviously! Bold, Bright & a Bow. When I finished it I was wondering if it may have just been a little too…
Felt the challenge!
I’ve been wanting to take part in the current Embellish Magazine Challenge – but haven’t had a chance until today – talk about leaving it until the last minute! I decided to use the felt as part of the background…
If the Shoe Fits?
So today I thought I would have some fun with the CASE study challenge #10. It’s my friends’ birthday this week and this stamp was made just for her… she just loves to shop, so this freebie stamp from Papermania was…
Falling Leaves
I am really liking these leaves at the moment – even though I’ve had them for ages I have not used them as much as I thought I would. This is the card I decided to scraplift for the current Caardvarks Challenge, …
Penny Black Thanks
This is a Thank You card for a 10 year old girl, so of course it needed some pinkness & prettiness. This is entered in the current Clean & Simple Fall to Layout 111. I just love this sketch, the…
Growing up is Optional!
So this will be just a quick post to enter this card into this weeks challenge at Sassy Studio Designs, Dare to be Sassy #41. It’s breast cancer awareness month & the colour is pink… so why not make it…
Bingo!
It’s time for another challenge… what else is there to do when it is pouring down outside. So this is my entry for the Color Throwdown #113. This is a great mix of colours (I did not have the exact colours so I…
Happy Thanksgiving – in Australia?
This is my first ever Thanksgiving card and it’s heading off with the Halloween cards towards the US. I used the colour inspiration from the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger. You may notice that I got a little carried away with the…
Have a Spooktacular Halloween from Oz
Halloween is not really celebrated in Australia, although there are some hopeful enthusiastic children who trudge around with massive shopping bags on October 31st just in case… So when I had to make some halloween cards to send to the…

With Love…
Scrapbook Boutique are having another challenge & I couldn’t resist – with such yummy colours. Initially I thought I would make a baby card, but it sort of changed along the way, as it always does. Hope you like it. …
Happy Butterfly Birthday
I am just sitting here in the rain crafting away, so I thought it’s obviously time for another challenge. Even though I know I should be starting on my Xmas cards – there’s still plenty of time for them… isn’t there? How…
