Circus Animals

Here’s my big news – I’ve been published!  I am so so so very excited that my cards were accepted by Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine.  And even more fabulously (is that a word?)  these cards are doing a little tour with the…

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…

For You…

Here is another card for one of our staff who is leaving to work in another department.  I have used the Card Positioning Systems Sketch #199 which I thought looked like fun when I saw it, but I have to…

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…

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…

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…

‘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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…
