How could I resist this weeks CASE Study where the challenge is to CASE one of Iwona’s cards!  They have been celebrating all month, Happy Anniversary CASE!   Honestly Iwona’s cards are so AMAZING it was hard to choose just one!   So as I was scrolling…

Just Saying Hello!

So I’ve been playing with my new JUMBO stamp again for the Scrapbook Boutique Blog (visit here for the tutorial).   This time I went for a tone on tone effect but to add a little more depth I did do some shading with Copics.  And there…

Monochrome Thanks

I have made this card in approximately 10 minutes which would have to be a ‘world‘ record for me!  I desperately wanted to join the Less Is More Challenge this week as I suffer with ink phobia (I’m a real…

Poppies

How soothing is it to be sitting here colouring and listening to Ministry of Sound Chillout…  life is perfect!  And guess what, I actually should be making another card (for an order, no worries… it’ll happen).  But how could I resist…

Inspired Just Because!

What a fabulous anniversary week at CASE Study the challenge is to case one of the designers!  The only problem is that I am inspired by soooo many designers it was very difficult just to pick one!   Eventually I chose this amazing…

Sending Hugs!

Here is my entry for the current Tueday Trigger : Luminos Layers!  What a fabulous inspiration from Cath this week.  I thought that I would incorporate all those wonderful patterns and colours and the ‘flowing layers’ kinda reminded me of butterflies, so…

Colours of the flag!

So this is when I really wished I lived somewhere with more exotic colours in the flag, but for me it’s good old red white & blue in Australia.  These colours are quite difficult for me, so I thought that…

Merci Beaucoup

This is what you call a JUMBO stamp, it’s absolutely wonderful and so totally versatile.  I love it when I can look at a stamp and pretty much already see the cards I’m going to make, that’s when I know…

My Moxie Friend!

I really should be on my way to work now, but couldn’t resist quickly joining the current Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger – Squares to Cherish.  This inspiration reminded me of my Grandmother, so out came the Stella & Rose doilies again. …

the perfect pear!

So I have left it to the wire again, but I was determined to join this weeks Less Is More Challenge where the theme is Feeling Fruity!  I could only find one fruit stamp and it’s part of a wonderful…

Love

I thought I would share something personal with you…  today is our 20th wedding anniversary.   Life has been easy as I married the most wonderful man, he is kind, thoughtful and generous, and I’m really looking forward to the next 20!  …

Smile

I adore this weeks inspiration at CASE Study from Dawn Woleslagle and couldn’t resist pairing it with the current colour challenge at the Play Date Cafe.   It’s easy to see where I was inspired by Dawn’s card!   This would have to be…

Just Because it’s Botanicals!

It doesn’t get more CAS than this, and I am totally loving all that ‘white’ space…   well it’s actually kinda ‘blue’ space, but you know what I mean.   I have had my eye on the Fanatical about Botanical Challenge in…

Happy Thoughts!

This is a card I made for the Scrapbook Boutique Blog.  I had so much fun using all these wonderful products!   These flowers are totally funky (and not expensive either).  Evelyn has such a large range of products online, just go visit her…

Buttons anyone!

So I’ve delayed entering the current Less is More Challenge because I couldn’t decide which way to go with the card, and now with only a few hours until the deadline, I didn’t want to miss out!  I have had…

Congrats Grandma!

I was asked to make a ‘Congrats New Grandma’ card.  I wanted it to be pretty and thought the colours from the current Embellish Magazine Patterned Paper Color Trends Challenge would be just perfect!  I struggled a little with this…

Jungle Fever

So… who else went to the very depths of their stash for this CAS-ual Fridays challenge?  I found things I forgot I had, who would have thought that!  When I stumbled accross these wonderful stickers from Penny Black (that I bought…

Lotus Splash

Hands up who loves new stamps!  I know I do, and guess what arrived in my mailbox last week, this new Hero Arts background stamp, and it is totally awesome!!  So of course it came in handy for the Play…

It’s a Chick thing!

Have you noticed I’ve been a bit ‘Krafty’ lately?  I can’t help myself, I’m addicted…   again!  As you can probably tell I finally have some more Lawn Fawn stamps (I’ll back off the baby cards for the moment).  This is…
