Thinking of You
I want to know which gene it is that makes men think they are invincible! Today I had the perfect (card making) day planned…. basically catch up on everything that I am currently behind on. Anyway that was hijacked by…

Father’s Day
I just want to write a little hello & thank you to my Dad, he is one of the most wonderful people I know! He has always been there for me and over the years I would have been totally lost without him. Would you believe…
Colours of the flag!
So this is when I really wished I lived somewhere with more exotic colours in the flag, but for me it’s good old red white & blue in Australia. These colours are quite difficult for me, so I thought that…
It’s a Ribbon Challenge at Scrapbook Boutique!
Scrapbook Boutique Blog has begun another fantabulous cupcake inpsiration challenge! This one is super easy, all you need to do is use a ribbon or a bow! I had a ball using these wonderful papers from My Minds Eye, love…
Whale of a Birthday!
Another nautical card… obviously it’s a new trend that I missed, again! This time it’s Jay Gee’s Nook Challenge, totally rad inspiration! I chose the whale (see the stuffed toy in the top right hand corner), I’ve had this stamp for a little…
You’re a Star!
I have very limited options on the ‘nautical’ front, so decided to paper piece a boat. I took my inpsiration from one very talented lady, Jenny at Crafting in the Country, where I was inspired by this card! This is my entry for…
Be Happy!
I thought the colours of this weeks Play Date Cafe Challenge definitely leant toward a masculine card. So I had a look through my stamps and this is what I came up with. Hope you like it! Supplies; Paper: A4…
Celebrate Argyle!
This weeks CAS-ual Friday Challenge is to use Colour Blocks. So I had a play and this is what I came up with. This is one of my favourite colour combinations… you may have noticed… Mostly I just like…
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…
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…
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…
Penny Farthing – Enjoy the Ride!
I know I’m leaving it a little late but I wanted to make sure that I joined in the current Embellish Magazine’s Masculine Color Trends Challenge, there are already so many fab cards I wasn’t sure where to start. Until…
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…
Birthday Cycle!
I feel like it’s all boy cards at the moment, not so much of the pretty bling & glitter. But it’s my fab nephew’s birthday soon & I thought I would ink up my new Practicing Creativity stamps & what…
It’s the Cattitude!
I am in the middle of a computer crisis… being that it just up and died! So it’s a trip to the doctor for my trusty laptop & now I’m working with a 9″ screen (much better than nothing at…
Ouch!
This is a card I made for a work colleague who has had major surgery, just to let him know that we are all thinking about him & hopefully put a little smile on his face. This is a pre-coloured…
Happy Loco 18th
So one of my wonderful nephews is turning 18. I’m sure I am not old enough to have nephews who are driving cars! So what better place to get an idea for a masculine card than at the Clean & Simple…
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…
Red & White
So it’s time for more challenges & this time the theme seems to be Red & White. So I thought I would stay away from the Xmas theme (I need a change). I just adore this stamp set from PTI…
Cricket Birthday
So I’ve been making a birthday card for a friend’s son, and the theme was cricket…. If I get stuck for an idea I usually go cruise around splitcoast stampers where there is masses of inspiration. I could not find one…
