Wishing you…

One of my work mates is heading for 50, and she’s celebrating with a ‘black & white’ party, so  why not make a matching birthday card!  I wanted to join CASE Study Challenge this week where the Muse is the amazingly talented…

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…

Flower Garden

I have finally had a chance to play along with Jay Gee’s Nook Challenge.  Another gorgeous inspiration photo, with fab colours.  I actually found too many choices (nice), but finally settled on this card, which is obviously taken from that cute…

Background Friend

What an amazing mix of colours at Embellish’s Current Challenge, Tina has outdone herself with the Inspiration photo this week, it’s just a massive big WOW!  Of course if it needs a background stamp my current favourite choice had to…

Just a Note

This week I couldn’t resist the Less is More Challenge, which was to make a One Layer Card – In the Frame!  So of course I kept it CAS, but had to add just a ‘bit of bling’!   Supplies; …

Friend in Gold!

I decided to play tic-tac-toe with CAS-ual Fridays current challenge.  And after just a little indecisiveness this is what I came up with.  I wanted to use these fabulous new ‘gold’ pearls that I discovered (ie. bought) at last weeks…

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…

Sweet Neapolitan

For this card I combined the Lawnscaping CAS Challenge with this weeks Tuesday Trigger : Cosmopolitan Neapolitan.  I was inspired by the neapolitan colours, of course, and icecream is ‘sweet’ and that’s what it says on my card…  there was some logic there…

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…

Live and Laugh!

I would like to firstly wish Sarah all the very best in her new adventure, she has been part of such a wonderful design team, it will be sad to her go.  I usually do love the colour splash challenges at The…

Let’s Talk Banners!

How awesome is Lucy’s sketch in the new Lily Pad Cards Challenge!  I had a few ideas for this one but decided on simplicity in the end.  One of my fab blog friends inspired me with her red phone and…

Polka Dot Frenzy!

Love.Love.Love anything ‘dotty’, so when I saw that the  Lawnscaping Challenge was having a Polka Dot Frenzy Challenge, I lept in… spots and all!   AND then I made a totally different card… I didn’t like the first one, so now here…

Just a note

Hi again, I noticed that the Embellish Challenge has started and thought I would play along.   This time it is a Color Trends Tags Challenge,  which sounded like fun, until I tried to find a tag!   I am also joining…

It’s a boy!

I’ve been thinking about ’tissue paper’ for a while now…   well at least since Moxie Fab put out a new challenge.  It’s called the Tissue Paper Magic Challenge in the Moxie Fab World!   I was  wondering what I could do &…

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…

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…

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…

A Krafty Birthday!

So I know I am having a problem at the moment keeping Kraft cardstock away from my cards…  but I just love it!  It’s probably because I don’t have to think, it just goes with everything.  So here it is…

Here kitty kitty…

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…

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…
