Sweet Birthday!
The Tuesday Trigger this week was Royally Sweet! I couldn’t resist repeating the swirl pattern that was iced onto the cake, it looks sooo yummy! I also sat down to have a ‘nice cuppa tea’ while I made the card. When…
Bee Happy!
I decided to combine these two challenges in the one post as the cards I made are very similar. I was playing with the May ‘freebie’, yes you heard me right, it was a free digi image from Paper Smooches & just…
I {heart} stamps!
So I went to my very first Copic class the other day, and now I feel the need to top up on a few more colours (have you seen all the new ones)… but so far I’m resisting! I am trying…
Just because it’s ‘In Bloom’
The team from The Play Date Cafe have created yet another fantasmagorical challenge, dontcha just adore this colour inspiration!! I used my ‘new‘ Memento Dew Drops colours (12 glorious colours in one handy pack), it’s great not to be limited…
CAS-ual Friday… on Sunday?
Don’t you LOVE to find a new challenge site! Ooooh and it’s one sooo suited to me and my ‘default‘ CAS style. It’s called CAS-ual Fridays and this week it’s buttons & twine… so I got out the biggest brightest button I could find…
Just a note
Hi again, I noticed that the Embellish Challenge has started and thought I would play along. This time it is a Color Trends Tags Challenge, which sounded like fun, until I tried to find a tag! I am also joining…
Skirting the Issue!
I just adore Cath’s Tuesday Trigger this week, Skirting the Issue. I decided to focus on the colours and for some reason I didn’t want too many layers on the card either. I am also enjoying colouring with pencils at the…
Flamingo Fun!
I started making this card last week and kept putting it down… I just couldn’t make it work, my ‘vision’ wasn’t making it to the finished product. So now I only have a short time til the Embellish Magazine Square Cards Color…
On a personal note…
Shall I tell you the Best thing about the ‘blogging world’, it’s the people that you meet! All these amazingly creative people who are willing to share, inspire & encourage. Not to mention that they share my obsession, maybe you…
Sweet Sundaes!
Can I tell you something funny? The other day I was sitting at my desk making cards (yes, I know that’s hard to believe!) and my husband was sitting talking to me and says with a most serious face “haven’t…
Mother’s Day
I would just like to share the card I made for my mother this year. I couldn’t post it any earlier as she is one of my biggest fans, as I am one of hers! She is the most amazing…
It’s a boy!
I’ve been thinking about ’tissue paper’ for a while now… well at least since Moxie Fab put out a new challenge. It’s called the Tissue Paper Magic Challenge in the Moxie Fab World! I was wondering what I could do &…
Bring on the happy!
Here is another A5 card (you know those ones that feel as though they are a 12″ layout to fill). This is a retirement card for one of my husbands work colleagues, so I thought that the sentiment fit perfectly. …
In my thoughts
I have been struggling a little with ‘finishing’ a card at the moment. I have these grandiose ideas & get half way through… then stop. What’s that word again? That’s right it’s mojo. And what better way to get back…
On your Shower
I am sooo excited my Lawn Fawn stamps finally arrived! (thank you long week-end) What perfect timing, I am going to a baby shower tomorrow… so they have already seen ink! I was inspired by the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger & there…

CSC36 – Enjoy the Ride!
It’s raining here today on our Easter Monday Tuesday (I know it’s confusing but in Australia this year our Public holidays clashed and added up to a 5 day weekend… it’s a long story). Anyway I was hoping to get…
Teapot Dots!
I was sooo excited when I saw the current colour challenge at The Play Date Cafe I just think these colours go so well together. Here are my polka dot tea pots in their bright colours, now all I want to do is find this set somewhere…
Using up scraps…
I embraced the current Embellish Magazine Crochet Trim Color Trends Challenge, that is, I drove down the street to buy some crochet trim only to come home and change my mind to use the one that I already had… work…
