Happy Sunday! I’m enjoying a relaxing Sunday off work…. yaaay, looking after my poor husband who is currently suffering manflu… not so yaay. It’s a terrible disease which stops absolutely everything in their lives for at least 3 days. I…
So here are a couple of different versions of the what is essentially the same card. I just had to have this Heros Arts Poppy Background Stamp when I saw what Tami Hartley had done with it at the Hero Arts Blog. …
So I’ve been making a birthday card for a friend’s son, and the theme was cricket…. If I get stuck for an idea I usually go cruise around splitcoast stampers where there is masses of inspiration. I could not find one…
So here it is… last year I made a birthday card for my brother. I thought I was being very clever & made a single layer stamped, copic coloured image. (A very stressful thing to do… no room for error!). My…
I thought I would just share a card that I have made for a wonderful friend of mine who is turning 40 (don’t look yet Jack!). She just loves a ‘bit of Bling!’, and what could be more ‘blingful’ than…
This is my entry for the Play Date Cafe Challenge, I have to say that I saw these colours & thought that this would be a difficult mix and then I thought ‘Toughen up… I’m in!’. I was also wanting…
This is for a fellow blogger who is having an operation. Linda is the one who encouraged me to start my own blog (…you can tell my husband it’s all her fault!). Linda, I hope you’ll be in the best of health again soon and then you…
Okay, so I wanted to try ‘feathering’ with Copics & what better place than on a bird! There is a challenge at Copic Oz which also includes a feathering tutorial. I also thought I would create a card that I…
This is my entry for the current Scrapbook Boutique Challenge. The challenge is to use at least 2 butterlies on a card… this is perfect, I just love butterflies! And just for fun I thought I would keep it nice…
This is my entry for the current CASE Study Challenge #13. I thought I would add a little animal act to the challenge although… I don’t think seals are usually bright pink! I just love Heather Pulvirenti’s cards and it great…
So I had a request to make a wedding card. That was not so unusual until I heard the word Pohutakawa tree… that was when I thought I may be in a little trouble! I found out that it was…
This is my entry for the current Diggin’ on Damask Challenge in the Moxie Fab World. Obviously I’m trying to be good & staying with the Christmas card theme, a little more traditional this time (no chickens). It’s also the…
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…
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…
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,…
I can’t believe this is my first Xmas card this year…. I may just be in a little bit of trouble… But there is nothing like a challenge to get me started! This time it’s the The Ribbon Girl’s colour…
Welcome! I have finally joined the masses & have purchased some Baker’s Twine – it’s a fabulous set from Martha Stewart made for the holidays , 3 different colours & lots in the pack so I thought I should start using…
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. …
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…
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…
