Totally loving my ‘Combi’ set from Avery Elle (I think it’s actually about surfing…. but it’s the Combi that I like). Lots of masking which is perfect for the current challenge at AEIOU and nice and bright so I’m also sharing with SSS and this week’s All things bright and beautiful challenge.
Thanks for stopping by,

Big things are happening at Muse this week, it’s their 100th challenge and Michele has her Designer debut card and it’s brilliant! I am so happy that I found a minute to make a card and join in the fun. I was inspired by her idea to ‘Accentuate the Negative’ but lucked out on the song lyrics….. I suppose I could have tried Happy Birthday to you, but I thought that was a little lame lol.
Here is Michele’s card… love the white on white look, mine’s just a little brighter.
I would also like to share this card with Darnell’s NBUS challenge as this is the first time I’ve used these fab balloon dies from Penny Black. Thanks for another great challenge Darnell!
I’m back tomorrow with another video for Scrapbook Boutique so I look forward to seeing you then.
Other Supplies: Cardstock – Yellow, Blue.

Playing with my Inktense pencils and some pretty Penny Black products, I wanted to create a subtle look, so a very simple card today. I filmed as I created so you could watch the process…. I did have a moment half way through where I thought ‘I’m not sure if I like this’, but continued on and am happy with how it turned out in the end.
You can see my video here or Watch it at Youtube.

I was inspired by the Curtain Call Challenge and their fantastic Inspiration photo, even though we are in the middle of a heat wave here lol.
I would also like to share my card with Simon Says Stamp at their Anything Goes Challenge this week!

I made these cards months ago as they were for a publication call with the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine, but I think they are my favourite Chrissy cards for this year. I really like the simplicity of the first and then the bokeh colours, well they kinda make me smile, especially with the shimmer of the sequins. I hope that today you find a smile and get to spend some time with some fun people and of course eat-a-plenty!
(For this call we had to make a card that had two versions one that was simple and easy to reproduce and a more complex version for special friends & family)
Hope you have a wonderful day, whatever it is that you are doing,
Hugs & Love
Other Supplies: Clear & Pink Sequins

These first two cards were a stamper’s challenge using a sweet set from Clearly Besotted called ‘Set the Scene’.
And for the coordinating feature I used an October Afternoon set called Silent Night – Donnie & Blitz.
With only just over a week to go til the big day…… are you ready?

I’ve been playing with some fabulous Penny Black products and used Lisa’s Wanna Sketch as inspiration. How easy is it to colour with a matching stamp and stencil, what a fun technique! I have filmed the process so you can watch.
You can see my video here or Watch it at Youtube.

A BIG Happy Thanksgiving to all my gorgeous friends across the water!
This year I wanted to make a fun Thanksgiving card for my SIL, hugs to you GF and I hope that you have a fab Aussie Thanksgiving! My knowledge about this holiday is very limited so I had to liaise with my Cultural Attache (ie my American/Aussie husband who immigrated with his family at the age of 4 to Australia) and… my other problem was I don’t own any ‘Thanksgiving’ stamp sets, so this is what we came up with.
Have a great day and I’ll see you tomorrow with a card /video for Scrapbook Boutique. I look forward to seeing you then.
Other Supplies: Cardstock – red. Prismacolor Pencils – Crimson Red, Poppy Red, White, Black, Putty Beige, French Grey 50%, Sepia, Goldenrod, Light Umber, Burnt Ochre, WArm Grey 20,70%.

One of my fave techniques for sure and especially with this sweet die, I really like how this card turned out and was lucky to have it published with the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping and Papercraft magazine. You may notice that I’m a little underground at present… we are camping at the beach (sorry for you guys in the snow, I know it’s cruel).
So I’ll see you when I’m back and hopefully not too sunburnt, Hugs

So so happy to be asked to join in the fun at CASE this Sketch, can you believe this is the 100th Sketch and they are having a party!
This team was an amazing turning point for me creatively, I just couldn’t ‘get’ sketches, for me it was always about the colour and now it’s about both! Although in saying that, I think I had too many ideas for Chrissy’s fabulous sketch and consequently I struggled with this one, you know how it goes… should’ve just stuck it in the first place I put it, not move it around for an hour first and then stick it in the original spot lol.
Congrats to you guys, this is one of my all time fave challenges and I know the next 100 sketches will be just as awesome!
Other Supplies: Prismacolor Pencils – Carmine Red, White, Poppy Red, LemonYellow, Sunburst Yellow, Warm Grey 70%. SBB Cardstock – Grapefruit.
