Using up scraps…
I embraced the current Embellish Magazine Crochet Trim Color Trends Challenge, that is, I drove down the street to buy some crochet trim only to come home and change my mind to use the one that I already had… work…
An Easter Card for… Easter!
So guess who doesn’t own any Easter stamps? It’s funny that I didn’t realise this until I started making an easter card for the current Scrapbook Boutique and Copic Oz challenges. Anyway I made do with what I have and enjoyed a little paper…
Best Wishes
Here is another birthday card for my stash. I wanted to make something pretty, no offense to the masculine cards or the CAS, but I needed some glitter & butterflies. I am still working with the vintage look & to…
A Sympathetic Mother’s Day?
So I sat down to make some Mother’s Day cards and I don’t know where I went wrong… but I ended up with a Sympathy Card. And although I like it maybe I shouldn’t send it instead of a Mother’s…
Pink Petals
The vision of my card kinda changed along the way… I like to think of it as evolving (I’m sure you know what I mean). So this is my take on the current Card Positioning Systems Sketch. CPS #213 Thanks…
Did you miss me?
I’ve been on holidays & WOW was it some fun! But now I am back & boy do I have some wonderful blogs to catch up on. I will be sharing some fabulous photos of my trip to Outback Australia after my post……
Thank You
I love this ‘Delightful Dahlia”, Dawn McVey is just awesome! And the nicest person ‘in real life’ – I was very lucky to meet her when she visited Australia last year. I just wanted to share this card that I made…
Mother’s Day Rose
Isn’t this paper just wonderful – I just can’t seem to get enough of October Afternoon. I was going for an old fashioned look with a modern twist, not sure if I got there, but I really like how it…
Another post already!

I just LOVE holidays… I have spent my whole day playing with stamps & paper, it couldn’t get any better than that! Especially when my husband is at work, there has been rain outside & the chickens are out running around…
Embellish the challenge!
So I have a thousand things I should be doing but instead sat down and made a card for the current Embellish Blogs Color Trends Challenge with Music…. I couldn’t resist. I feel like I just grabbed for so many…
‘Combined Grind’
How could I resist the ‘Combined Grind’ of my two favourite challenge sites! Love those colours from the Play Date Cafe & the beautiful card from the CASE Study Muse Eva Dobilas for CSC27. Thanks again for helping us push those…
Thinking of You CSC26
I couldn’t help myself when I saw the new ‘Curio’ paper pad from Basic Grey. It is beautiful! I just love that vintage look but it is not a style of card that comes easy to me. When I saw the…
Circus Animals
Here’s my big news – I’ve been published! I am so so so very excited that my cards were accepted by Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine. And even more fabulously (is that a word?) these cards are doing a little tour with the…
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…
For You…
Here is another card for one of our staff who is leaving to work in another department. I have used the Card Positioning Systems Sketch #199 which I thought looked like fun when I saw it, but I have to…
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…
Congratulations!
I am a sucker for bright colours, so when I saw the new Play Date Cafe Challenge I knew it was for me! I have also gotta be in the Glitter is Glam Challenge in the Moxie Fab World… loving those…
Funky Flower
Happy Sunday! I’m enjoying a relaxing Sunday off work…. yaaay, looking after my poor husband who is currently suffering manflu… not so yaay. It’s a terrible disease which stops absolutely everything in their lives for at least 3 days. I…
