Category Card Themes & Styles

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…

Time for tea?

This is my entry for the Play Date Cafe Challenge,  I have to say that I saw these colours & thought that this would be a difficult mix and then I thought ‘Toughen up…  I’m in!’.  I was also wanting…

The Recovery Couch!

This is for a fellow blogger who is having an operation.   Linda is the one who encouraged me to start my own blog (…you can tell my husband it’s all her fault!).   Linda, I hope you’ll be in the best of health again soon and then you…

‘Tis the Season

Okay, so I wanted to try ‘feathering’ with Copics & what better place than on a bird!  There is a challenge at Copic Oz  which also includes a feathering tutorial.  I also thought I would create a card that I…

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…

The Chickens of Christmas!

I just love, love, love the idea of chickens on a Xmas card.  We have 8 chickens & they are the funniest things to watch, they lead such busy little lives, not to mention those wonderful eggs!   Anyway… I used…

It’s a Wreath!

I can’t believe this is my first Xmas card this year….   I may just be in a little bit of trouble…  But there is nothing like a challenge to get me started!   This time it’s the The Ribbon Girl’s colour…

On the Baker’s Twine Bandwagon!

Welcome!  I have finally joined the masses & have purchased some Baker’s Twine – it’s a fabulous set from Martha Stewart made for the holidays , 3 different colours & lots in the pack so I thought I should start using…

A Not so Spooky Challenge.

TSG is having another Colour Challenge, and the colours scream Halloween, but I was thinking of something completely different… Obviously!  Bold, Bright & a Bow.  When I finished it I was wondering if it may have just been a little too…

Felt the challenge!

I’ve been wanting to take part in the current Embellish Magazine Challenge – but haven’t had a chance until today – talk about leaving it until the last minute!  I decided to use the felt as part of the background…

If the Shoe Fits?

So today I thought I would have some fun with the CASE study challenge #10.  It’s my friends’ birthday this week and this stamp was made just for her… she just loves to shop, so this freebie stamp from Papermania was…

Falling Leaves

I am really liking these leaves at the  moment – even though I’ve had them for ages I have not used them as much as I thought I would.  This is the card I decided to scraplift for the current Caardvarks Challenge, …

Penny Black Thanks

This is a Thank You card for a 10 year old girl,  so of course it needed some pinkness & prettiness.    This is entered in the current   Clean & Simple Fall to Layout 111.   I just love this sketch, the…

Growing up is Optional!

So this will be just a quick post to enter this card into this weeks challenge at Sassy Studio Designs, Dare to be Sassy #41.  It’s breast cancer awareness month & the colour is pink… so why not make it…

Bingo!

It’s time for another challenge… what else is there to do when it is pouring down outside.  So this is my entry for the Color Throwdown #113.  This is a great mix of colours  (I did not have the exact colours so I…
