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…

Lots of Hugs

This is my entry for the current CASE Study Challenge where the Muse is Mercy Kerin.  I kept it simple and bright with flowers, butterflies & bling…  all the good things!   Supplies;  Paper: A4 White Cardstock, Bazzill – Forget-me-not,…

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…

Christmas Wreath

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…
