Friend in Gold!
I decided to play tic-tac-toe with CAS-ual Fridays current challenge. And after just a little indecisiveness this is what I came up with. I wanted to use these fabulous new ‘gold’ pearls that I discovered (ie. bought) at last weeks…

Always Hero Arts!
I’ve been struggling with the current Embellish Magazine Challenge, and in the end I worked it out… I don’t own any text stamps! So I settled for text from a book (second best), but I did get to stamp though, using…
You’re in my thoughts – CSC42
Today I thought I’d have a bit of fun with ink… and I definitely got it everywhere! I am now walking around with green fingertips… but it could be worse, I could have glitter all over my face… actually, I…
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…
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. …
Make a Penny Black wish!
I saw the current challenge at Lily Pad Cards and couldn’t resist joining in Lucy’s Lovely Lines, I just love her style! I thought I would use this cute little image who has adorned my cards more than a few…
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…
Congrats!
I saw Jay Gees latest challenge & knew that I had to be in it, despite the fact that I’m off to work shortly… a little pressure is good isn’t it! Sometimes it can take me days to finish a…
‘Combined Grind’
How could I resist the ‘Combined Grind’ of my two favourite challenge sites! Love those colours from the Play Date Cafe & the beautiful card from the CASE Study Muse Eva Dobilas for CSC27. Thanks again for helping us push those…
Lots of Hugs
This is my entry for the current CASE Study Challenge where the Muse is Mercy Kerin. I kept it simple and bright with flowers, butterflies & bling… all the good things! Supplies; Paper: A4 White Cardstock, Bazzill – Forget-me-not,…
For You…
Here is another card for one of our staff who is leaving to work in another department. I have used the Card Positioning Systems Sketch #199 which I thought looked like fun when I saw it, but I have to…
Thank You Butterflies
So I needed a quick Thank You card… and of course there was not one in my stash. I’ve had an idea in my head and was inspired by the CASE Study Challenge (loved Nina’s black & white butterfly) as…
Craig is 44!
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…
Butterfly Thanks
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…
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…
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…
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 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…

So here is another challenge that I have been having some fun with. It’s the current Caardvarks challenge which is Clean & Simple with stamping… I made a couple of matching thank you cards, so I thought I would share both…
