All Things Grow with Love

Today I thought I would play with the latest Embellish Magazine Color Trends Challenge with Hearts.  I had fun creating this card, here I go again using my new stamps that I won from Jay Gee’s Nook…   I just loooove…

Happy Loco 18th

So one of my wonderful nephews is turning 18.  I’m sure I am not old enough to have nephews who are driving cars!   So what better place to get an idea for a masculine card than at the Clean & Simple…

All Pure

For this inspiration from There She Goes I thought I would keep the lines clean & simple as well as make use of those wonderful colours.  I have been wanting to colour these Pure Innocence images for a wee while now &…

Wedding Wishes

So I’ve been playing with the Copics & loving them!  I made a few versions of this card, but I  have to say that I like the pink cake the best.  This is my entry for the current Copic Oz…

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,…

Get Well Soon

I always delay making male cards for as long as possible – but when I think about it they are quite simple.  Maybe it’s the lack of glitter, butterflies, flowers, bows…  the things that find their way onto most of…

Simple Flower

So I am back for the last Caardvarks Challenge – to make a monochromatic card (couldn’t resist).  So I used some inspiration from the current Clean & Simple Layout.  It’s a good place to go when the mojo is low, the FTL…

Christmas Wreath

Here’s wishing you a wonderful Christmas & a happy holiday season.  I’d just like to take a moment to thank you for all of your kind comments & support on my new blog.  I have met so many wonderful & talented…

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…

Red & White

 So it’s time for more challenges & this time the theme seems to be Red & White.  So I thought I would stay away from the Xmas theme (I need a change).  I just adore this stamp set from PTI…

Spotted Baubles?

I just can’t seem to go past the bright at the moment.  I’m having heaps of fun with it too.  This is my entry for two great challenges that are currently open.  That is the Scrapbook Boutique  & the Embellish Magazine Christmas…

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…

Time for tea?

This is my entry for the Play Date Cafe Challenge,  I have to say that I saw these colours & thought that this would be a difficult mix and then I thought ‘Toughen up…  I’m in!’.  I was also wanting…

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…

With Heartfelt Thanks.

Here is my entry for the current CASE Study Challenge #12.  I’m just loving my new Basic Grey – What A Pear stamps  (they have been getting a real workout!).  I enjoyed this CASE soooo much that I made two.  Hope you’re having a fab…

On the Baker’s Twine Bandwagon!

Welcome!  I have finally joined the masses & have purchased some Baker’s Twine – it’s a fabulous set from Martha Stewart made for the holidays , 3 different colours & lots in the pack so I thought I should start using…

A Not so Spooky Challenge.

TSG is having another Colour Challenge, and the colours scream Halloween, but I was thinking of something completely different… Obviously!  Bold, Bright & a Bow.  When I finished it I was wondering if it may have just been a little too…

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…
