Christmas Stamper’s Challenge ***

These are two cards that I made for a stamper’s challenge for the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft Magazine!  I got to play with this wonderful Stamp-It – Dove Tree stamp, and it’s absolutely beautiful!!  I had too much fun, and couldn’t…

It’s a Play Date!

WOW!  Did I have some fun with the colours at the Play Date Cafe’s challenge this week!  I didn’t make anything ‘halloweeney’ (we don’t tend to celebrate it here in Oz, but we certainly love our sweets any day of…

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…

Thinking of You

I want to know which gene it is that makes men think they are invincible!  Today I had the perfect (card making) day planned….  basically catch up on everything that I am currently behind on.  Anyway that was hijacked by…

Joy – Wreath ***

This is one of my favorite Xmas stamps, and I just love the idea of purple and white for a Xmas card!  These cards were also published in the September edition of the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine.   The aim was to create two…

Thinking of you

So the second birthday challenge for AnnaBelle Stamps is simply ‘Blooms’.  This is super easy but as I don’t have any of their stamps (yet…) for some reason I just had to use my Stampendous Ranunculus, one of my fave for blooms.   Watch…

Special Day

So here is another double challenge, are you ready for it!!  It definitely had to be purple so that I could join Jay Gee’s purple inspiration and what better purple than a shiny embossed one!  So that brings me to the second challenge…  …

Merci Beaucoup

This is what you call a JUMBO stamp, it’s absolutely wonderful and so totally versatile.  I love it when I can look at a stamp and pretty much already see the cards I’m going to make, that’s when I know…

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…

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…

Happy Thoughts!

This is a card I made for the Scrapbook Boutique Blog.  I had so much fun using all these wonderful products!   These flowers are totally funky (and not expensive either).  Evelyn has such a large range of products online, just go visit her…

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…

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…

Christmas in July!

Is it ever too early to start making those Christmas cards?  Well to help you along Scrapbook Boutique is kicking it off with some Christmas in July inspiration.  To be honest, it is much easier to make Christmas cards when the pressure…

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…

You’re So Special

Did you miss me?  I’ve just returned from a whirlwind trip to Victoria for my BIL’s 40th birthday.  Bonfires, Bands and Great Food…  We had the most fabulous time!  I thought would  quickly post this card before I head off to work this arvo. …
