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…

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…
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…
Poppy Background Thanks
So here are a couple of different versions of the what is essentially the same card. I just had to have this Heros Arts Poppy Background Stamp when I saw what Tami Hartley had done with it at the Hero Arts Blog. …
Cricket Birthday
So I’ve been making a birthday card for a friend’s son, and the theme was cricket…. If I get stuck for an idea I usually go cruise around splitcoast stampers where there is masses of inspiration. I could not find one…
Glitterball Girl!
I thought I would just share a card that I have made for a wonderful friend of mine who is turning 40 (don’t look yet Jack!). She just loves a ‘bit of Bling!’, and what could be more ‘blingful’ than…
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…
A Pink Seal?
This is my entry for the current CASE Study Challenge #13. I thought I would add a little animal act to the challenge although… I don’t think seals are usually bright pink! I just love Heather Pulvirenti’s cards and it great…
Pohutakawa Wedding?
So I had a request to make a wedding card. That was not so unusual until I heard the word Pohutakawa tree… that was when I thought I may be in a little trouble! I found out that it was…
Warmest Wishes
This is my entry for the current Diggin’ on Damask Challenge in the Moxie Fab World. Obviously I’m trying to be good & staying with the Christmas card theme, a little more traditional this time (no chickens). It’s also the…
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…
Have a Spooktacular Halloween from Oz
Halloween is not really celebrated in Australia, although there are some hopeful enthusiastic children who trudge around with massive shopping bags on October 31st just in case… So when I had to make some halloween cards to send to the…
Happy Butterfly Birthday
I am just sitting here in the rain crafting away, so I thought it’s obviously time for another challenge. Even though I know I should be starting on my Xmas cards – there’s still plenty of time for them… isn’t there? How…
Enjoy… the challenge!
So this morning I thought I would challenge myself… that is, I made a card that involves 2 challenges. They include one of my favourites, the Clean & Simple – Fall to Layout and a new one for me –…
Sweetheart Flower
So I wasn’t particularly happy with my entry to the Scrapbook Boutique Colour Challenge. I thought I could do better. This is my second attempt. Not quite so pastelly (not sure if there is such a word), I think it’s…
Cupcake Bouquet challenge
Well it’s time for another Scrapbook Boutique Challenge (for the aussie papercrafters). It is a great online shop and their blog is packed full of information. This challenge is colours, and I thought these would be easy… I just don’t think…
Spring Tag
This is a tag that I made for a swap. Gotta say I really struggle with that cream background on tags, what would be wrong with making them white? Anyway, just thought I’d share… this one’s for you mum. supplies; …
