Laser Cuts!

I’ve got a little catching up to do, so here is a couple of cards that I had accepted for publication from the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft Magazine.  The call was to use laser cut chipboard and I had…

All things…

I was having just a little trouble with this week’s colour challenge at Annabelle’s Stamps.  Definitely not my ususal ‘go to’ colours, but you do what you can, so I kept it CAS just to make it easier on myself. …

The eyes have it!

This is where I would like to have some exotic colour for my eyes, but alas no…  they are brown!  So you just have to work with what you’ve got when this weeks  Less Is More challenge is to make…

My own special holiday!

Can’t believe I missed WCMD… who would have thought there were only 30 days in September!  My plans were to spend the whole day making cards…  Sunday that is.  Oh well, it’s my very own celebration today, and how wonderful…

merry christmas hero arts!

I’ve been thinking about the current CAS-ual Fridays challenge ever since it was posted.  I wasn’t sure what I was going to create until I saw the sketch over at Lilypad and then a plan started to form.  Here is the…

You’re in my thoughts

So here is a card I made for the Scrapbook Boutique Blog.  I have been playing with Hero Arts – Delicate Leaf Clusters and am in love!!  This is such a versatile set of stamps, they can be used to create…

Christmas Snowflakes

I just thought I would share one of my recent publications in the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine.  You couldn’t believe the amount of glitter I had everywhere…  but isn’t that half the fun!  LOVE these chipboard snowflakes from…

You Make me Smile

I have made it!  The last challenge for the birthday celebrations at AnnaBelle Stamps…  I just couldn’t resist!   This time the challenge was to make a card with 2 of something starting with ‘B’.  So for me it was 2 bling and 2 butterflies, 2…

Peace Love Joy

So it’s time to start making those Xmas cards….  I feel like I’m behind before I even start!  Anyhoo, I wanted to join the birthday challenges at AnnaBelle Stamps, but haven’t had a chance until now as I’ve been away on holidays.  The…

Whale of a Wedding!

This weeks challenge at CASE Study is to make a card using your ‘Signature Style’.  I was thinking about this and knew that it had to be CAS for me, but I’d also say that I do love to use…

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…

Congrats Grandma!

I was asked to make a ‘Congrats New Grandma’ card.  I wanted it to be pretty and thought the colours from the current Embellish Magazine Patterned Paper Color Trends Challenge would be just perfect!  I struggled a little with this…

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…

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…

Butterfly Dreams!

I want ot share with you one of my recent publications in the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine.  This is one of my favourite colour combinations and I have shares in Bazzill papers – Dragonfly and Swimming Pool and my Copic…

Be Happy!

I thought the colours of this weeks Play Date Cafe Challenge definitely leant toward a masculine card.  So I had a look through my stamps and this is what I came up with.  Hope you like it! Supplies;  Paper:  A4…

Lullaby?

I kinda took a different approach to this weeks Tuesday Trigger: Lovely as a Lullaby.  There really is no lullaby, but I think it’s lovely anyway.  I was inspired by the colour combination, polkadots & stripes.  I’ve been watching all…

Just Saying Hello ***

This is a card I forgot to share that was published in this month’s edition of Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft.  Doncha just LoVe these colours together!!  This is my first effort stamping directly onto felt, so why not use PTI’s fab…

Plant Smiles!

I couldn’t let the week go by and not join in the fun at CAS-ual Friday!!  This week it’s a sketch…  they sure love to ‘mix-it-up’!  Well I’m up for it, and if you want to join in, you can find…

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…
