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!

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!

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…
