It’s Stripe-tastic!

I knew when I saw the current Tuesday Trigger at Moxie Fab that I had to join the fun!  Who could resist a Stripe-tastic challenge and  I  made them  BIG stripes!  Obviously I was inspired by the stripes, the colours…

Spark!

I finally found some time to join the Paper Smooches Sparks challenge, they really have the most awesome inspiration!  Look at this one… I needed a birthday card, so decided against the Xmas theme and went with the colours, dots and sparkle. …

Pot Pourri Fun!

What a lovely morning, I’m sitting here listening to Putumayo Xmas music and my steamed plum pudding bubbling on the stove top and creating cards….    This is a recipe that was handed to me from an elderly patient who’s mother used to…

Season’s Greetings

So my husband says to me yesterday, ‘can you just make me 6 Christmas cards’ (maybe just a few choice words were spoken under breath – I can’t remember exactly)….  I thought I was done, but alas no.  But to…

One Cool Chick!

Hiya!  I’ve been playing with ‘My Peeps’ by Paper Smooches and what  a fun set this is!  I thought I would join with CASual Fridays In the Mist Challenge, I’ve recently become addicted to the Mister Huey’s Calico White mist…

Joy

I made this quick little card for the Less Is More challenge using a one layer card with the theme, Let It Snow.  I was also inspired by the Simon Says Stamp Challenge by this awesome picture collated by Joy,…

Christmas Sheep?

Who says sheep can’t be Christmassy…   well, this one is!  I have been wanting to join in at Lawnscaping Challenges (but sadly haven’t had time…  I’ve been watching though), anyway this week it’s a Tag challenge and I needed some tags, at…

Let’s Chill

This is just a fun quick card that I made for family friends.   Their wonderful little daughter loves to draw and colour and often gives us some of her creations.  Last time it was this awesome dyed doily, so I thought…

Just BEE Happy…

I think this card is good advice for us all, especially right now when all we seem to be doing is ‘running‘ around during this fabulous silly season!  This is a stamp set that I won from There She Goes…

Hello Friend

So I finally found some time to enter some of my fave challenges…..  well it’s not exactly finding some time but more a case of ignoring other stuff I should be doing and doing the stuff I love to do. …

Delightful Dahlia Birthday!

Here I am playing with my new PrismaColor Pencils & I totally L.O.V.E. them!  How easily they blend…  and the colours….   This is a card I made for a combined challenge.  Embellish Magazine have another awesome colour challenge using leaves and…

Thanks a bunch!

I had the most wonderful package arrive the other day.  I needed to purchase some goodies from AnnaBelle Stamps and they had a storewide sale, thus the perfect time to buy!  The only real problem was ‘putting the brakes on’….   Anyway,…

With Sympathy

I was inspired by Kathy’s Lily Pad Palette Challenge as I wanted something a little brighter than usually used on a sympathy card.  I’ve got to say that these aren’t my favourite cards to make, but are given for a wonderful…

Hey There!

This is the card I made for Jay Gee’s Nook where this month the challenge is to create a non-holiday card using holiday stamps.  I’m not sure if I pulled this one off, do they still look like Snowflakes to you?    I LOVE…

Merry Merry Merry

Is it too early for Xmas music yet?…  It’s fun to get into the spirit,  just a little early don’t you think, especially when it’s from Putamayo?  I’ve been playing with the current Play Date Cafe colours.  I’ve had the urge…

A Merry Little Christmas!

This is the first time these Dear Lizzy stamps have seen ink and I think they were very happy!  But, obviously the Hero Arts snowflakes have had a workout this year, and I don’t think they are finished just yet!  I’ve combined…

Happy Sunday!

So I’ve had some time to play, I am not working and it’s Sunday…  that means it’s time to ignore the housework and make some cards, my husband wouldn’t expect anything less!   I’ve been sooo busy recently that I haven’t…

Bella Baker’s Birthday Cake!

Here I go with the Print Candee digital stamps again! They are so addictive…  I have  a friend’s birthday soon and this Bella is perfect for her!  There it is, my favourite blue green, but you can’t blame me, I was inspired by…
