I’m Sew Excited!  I’m joining the Challenge in the Moxie Fab World, really it’s just sew fantastic!!  (sorry, couldn’t resist)   When I saw these Dress Forms at Scrapmatts I knew they were just perfect for this challenge, then it was just…

Sweet Birthday!

The Tuesday Trigger this week was Royally Sweet!  I couldn’t resist repeating the swirl pattern that was iced onto the cake, it looks sooo yummy!  I also sat down to have a ‘nice cuppa tea’ while I made the card.   When…

I {heart} stamps!

So I went to my very first Copic class the other day, and now I feel the need to top up on a few more colours (have you seen all the new ones)…  but so far I’m resisting!    I am trying…

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…

Calling all Critters!

   I’m soooo excited, I have my first set of Lawn Fawn stamps on the way to my door!  But I couldn’t wait til they came to join the current Lawnscaping Challenge – Calling all Critters.  The inspiration cards were…

Best Wishes

Here is another birthday card for my stash.  I wanted to make something pretty, no offense to the masculine cards or the CAS, but I needed some glitter & butterflies.  I am still working with the vintage look & to…

Did you miss me?

I’ve been on holidays & WOW was it some fun!  But now I am back & boy do I have some wonderful blogs to catch up on.  I will be sharing some fabulous photos of my trip to Outback Australia after my post……

Mother’s Day Rose

Isn’t this paper just wonderful – I just can’t seem to get enough of October Afternoon.   I was going for an old fashioned look with a modern twist, not sure if I got there, but I really like how it…

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…

Another post already!

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…

My niece turns 20!

I’m officially old…  I would swear that I was still 18, except that I have noticed now I have slowed down by at least 110% – I like to say that I am just more experienced in life and now…

For You – CSC31

So I couldn’t resist the current CASE challenge when I saw all of those bright colours and spots!  The current Muse is Julee Tilman, an amazingly talented women.  This was the perfect opportunity to ink up my little sailboat stamp, part…

40!

Okay so the computer crisis is officially over & I’m sad to say that after 5 years my trusty laptop has gone to a better place!  Of course this has made room for my new Rolls Royce, sporting lots of fancy abilities…
