All Pure

For this inspiration from There She Goes I thought I would keep the lines clean & simple as well as make use of those wonderful colours.  I have been wanting to colour these Pure Innocence images for a wee while now &…

Wedding Wishes

So I’ve been playing with the Copics & loving them!  I made a few versions of this card, but I  have to say that I like the pink cake the best.  This is my entry for the current Copic Oz…

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…

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…

Forever Friends

This is my entry to the current Ribbon Girl Blog Colour Challenge.  I thought this was going to be a lttle more subtle…  but the end result never quite turns out like the inital vision.   Supplies;  Paper:  A4 White Cardstock, Xpress It…

Birthday Bird Banner!

Fancy having a birthday soooo close to Xmas…  mine is conveniently located in the middle of the year.  I have quite a few family & friends who celebrate their birthdays in December & January including my nephew who is getting…

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…

Poppy Background Thanks

So here are a couple of different versions of the what is essentially the same card.  I just had to have this Heros Arts Poppy Background Stamp when I saw what Tami Hartley had done with it at the Hero Arts Blog. …

Craig is 44!

So here it is… last year I made a birthday card for my brother.  I thought I was being very clever & made a single layer stamped, copic coloured image.  (A very stressful thing to do… no room for error!).   My…

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…

Time for tea?

This is my entry for the Play Date Cafe Challenge,  I have to say that I saw these colours & thought that this would be a difficult mix and then I thought ‘Toughen up…  I’m in!’.  I was also wanting…

The Recovery Couch!

This is for a fellow blogger who is having an operation.   Linda is the one who encouraged me to start my own blog (…you can tell my husband it’s all her fault!).   Linda, I hope you’ll be in the best of health again soon and then you…

‘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…

A Pink Seal?

This is my entry for the current CASE Study Challenge #13.   I thought I would add a little animal act to the challenge although…   I don’t think seals are usually bright pink!  I just love Heather Pulvirenti’s cards and it great…

Pohutakawa Wedding?

So I had a request to make a wedding card.  That was not so unusual until I heard the word Pohutakawa tree… that was when I thought I may be in a little trouble!   I found out that it was…

The Chickens of Christmas!

I just love, love, love the idea of chickens on a Xmas card.  We have 8 chickens & they are the funniest things to watch, they lead such busy little lives, not to mention those wonderful eggs!   Anyway… I used…

It’s a Wreath!

I can’t believe this is my first Xmas card this year….   I may just be in a little bit of trouble…  But there is nothing like a challenge to get me started!   This time it’s the The Ribbon Girl’s colour…

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…

If the Shoe Fits?

So today I thought I would have some fun with the CASE study challenge #10.  It’s my friends’ birthday this week and this stamp was made just for her… she just loves to shop, so this freebie stamp from Papermania was…
