You’re a Star!

A Challenge Birthday!

How could I resist this weeks Play Date Cafe Challenge when the colours are called Redish Orange, Yucky Yellow & Juniper!  I combined it with this weeks CASE Study Challenge where the muse is still the amazing Jill Foster.  Just…

I decided to join Scrapbook Boutique’s colour challenge, where they always find the most gorgeous cupcake inspirations…    I want to know where that shop is!   To make the background subtle so I overlayed it with vellum, I’m not sure if…

One of my work mates is heading for 50, and she’s celebrating with a ‘black & white’ party, so  why not make a matching birthday card!  I wanted to join CASE Study Challenge this week where the Muse is the amazingly talented…

Be Happy!

I thought the colours of this weeks Play Date Cafe Challenge definitely leant toward a masculine card.  So I had a look through my stamps and this is what I came up with.  Hope you like it! Supplies;  Paper:  A4…

Celebrate Argyle!

This weeks CAS-ual Friday Challenge is to use Colour Blocks.  So I had a play and this is what  I came up with.  This is one of my favourite colour combinations… you may have noticed…    Mostly I just like…

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…

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…

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…

Best Wishes

Here is another birthday card for my stash.  I wanted to make something pretty, no offense to the masculine cards or the CAS, but I needed some glitter & butterflies.  I am still working with the vintage look & to…

Did you miss me?

I’ve been on holidays & WOW was it some fun!  But now I am back & boy do I have some wonderful blogs to catch up on.  I will be sharing some fabulous photos of my trip to Outback Australia after my post……

Mother’s Day Rose

Isn’t this paper just wonderful – I just can’t seem to get enough of October Afternoon.   I was going for an old fashioned look with a modern twist, not sure if I got there, but I really like how it…

A Krafty Birthday!

So I know I am having a problem at the moment keeping Kraft cardstock away from my cards…  but I just love it!  It’s probably because I don’t have to think, it just goes with everything.  So here it is…

Another post already!

My niece turns 20!

I’m officially old…  I would swear that I was still 18, except that I have noticed now I have slowed down by at least 110% – I like to say that I am just more experienced in life and now…

Okay so the computer crisis is officially over & I’m sad to say that after 5 years my trusty laptop has gone to a better place!  Of course this has made room for my new Rolls Royce, sporting lots of fancy abilities…
