CAS-ual Friday… on Sunday?

Don’t you LOVE to find a new challenge site!   Ooooh and it’s one sooo suited to me and my ‘default‘ CAS style.  It’s called CAS-ual Fridays and this week it’s buttons & twine…  so I got out the biggest brightest button I could find…

Just a note

Hi again, I noticed that the Embellish Challenge has started and thought I would play along.   This time it is a Color Trends Tags Challenge,  which sounded like fun, until I tried to find a tag!   I am also joining…

Skirting the Issue!

I just adore Cath’s Tuesday Trigger this week,  Skirting the Issue.   I decided to focus on the colours and for some reason I didn’t want too many layers on the card either.  I am also enjoying colouring with pencils at the…

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…

Bring on the happy!

Here is another A5 card (you know those ones that feel as though they are a 12″ layout to fill).  This is a retirement card for one of my husbands work colleagues, so I thought that the sentiment fit perfectly. …

Make a Penny Black wish!

  I saw the current challenge at Lily Pad Cards and couldn’t resist joining in Lucy’s Lovely Lines, I just love her style!  I thought I would use this cute little image who has adorned my cards more than a few…

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…

CSC35 – Happy Mother’s Day

So I’ve been struggling with this card for a couple of days… you know,  look at it, shuffle papers around, stamp a bit, get all my ribbons out… then put them back!  I was determined to do the pretty / busy…

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…

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! …

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…

Happy Happy Birthday!

Can you believe that I have hardly any birthday cards left in my stash!  I need to work on this so I decided to play with some more challenges for inspiration.  I’m struggling through night duty at the moment and…

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…

Congrats!

I saw Jay Gees latest challenge & knew that I had to be in it, despite the fact that I’m off to work shortly…   a little pressure is good isn’t it!  Sometimes it can take me days to finish a…

‘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…

All Things Grow with Love

Today I thought I would play with the latest Embellish Magazine Color Trends Challenge with Hearts.  I had fun creating this card, here I go again using my new stamps that I won from Jay Gee’s Nook…   I just loooove…
