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…

Chevron Madness!

So I finally cut into a piece of paper that I have been ‘hoarding’ for a little while now…. how are those luscous bright chevron stripes, I nearly cried, but then I can now enjoy the card, and of course…  I…

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…

Sweet Sundaes!

Can I tell you something funny?  The other day I was sitting at my desk making cards (yes, I know that’s hard to believe!)  and my husband was sitting talking to me and says with a most serious face “haven’t…

Mother’s Day

I would just like to share the card I made for my mother this year.  I couldn’t post it any earlier as she is one of my biggest fans, as I am one of hers!  She is the most amazing…

CSC36 – Enjoy the Ride!

  It’s raining here today on our Easter Monday Tuesday (I know it’s confusing but in Australia this year our Public holidays clashed and added up to a 5 day weekend… it’s a long story).  Anyway I was hoping to get…

Teapot Dots!

   I was sooo excited when I saw the current colour challenge  at The Play Date Cafe I just think these colours go so well together.   Here are my polka dot tea pots in their bright colours, now all I want to do is find this set somewhere…

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…

An Easter Card for… Easter!

So guess who doesn’t own any Easter stamps?  It’s funny that I didn’t  realise this until I started making an easter card for the current Scrapbook Boutique and Copic Oz  challenges.  Anyway I made do with what I have and enjoyed a little paper…

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…

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…

Pink Petals

The vision of my card kinda changed along the way…   I like to think of it as evolving (I’m sure you know what I mean).   So this is my take on the current Card Positioning Systems Sketch.    CPS #213  Thanks…

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……

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…

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…

Another post already!

edited 27th April  **** I would just like to add that this card was one of the top picks for the Totally Hues Challenge… WOOHOO!  Thanks heaps Heather **** Maybe I should just be on holidays all of the time! …

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…

Embellish the challenge!

So I have a thousand things I should be doing but instead sat down and made a card for the current Embellish Blogs Color Trends Challenge with Music…. I couldn’t resist.  I feel like I just grabbed for so many…

‘Combined Grind’

How could I resist the ‘Combined Grind’ of my two favourite challenge sites!  Love those colours from the Play Date Cafe  & the beautiful card from the CASE Study Muse Eva Dobilas for CSC27.  Thanks again for helping us push those…

Thinking of You CSC26

I couldn’t help myself when I saw the new ‘Curio’ paper pad from Basic Grey.  It is beautiful!  I just love that vintage look but it is not a style of card that comes easy to me.  When I saw the…
