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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Another Shower!

I’ve been thinking about this weeks Tuesday Trigger – Perty & Flirty…    and and in the end decided I would include the background as well as that gorgeous yellow!  I have another baby shower this Friday (hope it’s not conatagious) and…

Whale of a Birthday!

Another nautical card…  obviously it’s a new trend that I missed, again!  This time it’s Jay Gee’s Nook Challenge, totally rad inspiration!  I chose the whale (see the stuffed toy in the top right hand corner), I’ve had this stamp for a little…

Double the Challenge!

So I’ve had this idea in my mind for a few days and have finally put it ‘to card’!    I have combined the current Lily Pad colour challenge (how cute are those Tickled Pink Stamps!) with the Less Is…

You’re a Star!

I have very limited options on the ‘nautical’ front, so decided to paper piece a boat.  I took my inpsiration from one very talented lady, Jenny at Crafting in the Country, where I was inspired by this card!  This is my entry for…

Enjoy this Day

So ever since Chupa posted this week’s CASE Study challenge, I have been thinking….   that I need to buy some ‘solid’ stamps, not that I need any encouragement to spend money on papercrafting supplies (I’m sure you know what I…

Sweets & Treats

CAS-ual Fridays is having a Sweets & Treats Challenge, what a fabulous inpiration.  I’m totally into paper piecing at the moment, and loving it!  I think I forgot about it for a while there….  Anyway the ‘sweet thing’ I went…
