the perfect pear!
So I have left it to the wire again, but I was determined to join this weeks Less Is More Challenge where the theme is Feeling Fruity! I could only find one fruit stamp and it’s part of a wonderful…

Love
I thought I would share something personal with you… today is our 20th wedding anniversary. Life has been easy as I married the most wonderful man, he is kind, thoughtful and generous, and I’m really looking forward to the next 20! …
Smile
I adore this weeks inspiration at CASE Study from Dawn Woleslagle and couldn’t resist pairing it with the current colour challenge at the Play Date Cafe. It’s easy to see where I was inspired by Dawn’s card! This would have to be…
Congrats Grandma!
I was asked to make a ‘Congrats New Grandma’ card. I wanted it to be pretty and thought the colours from the current Embellish Magazine Patterned Paper Color Trends Challenge would be just perfect! I struggled a little with this…
It’s a Chick thing!
Have you noticed I’ve been a bit ‘Krafty’ lately? I can’t help myself, I’m addicted… again! As you can probably tell I finally have some more Lawn Fawn stamps (I’ll back off the baby cards for the moment). This is…
Another Shower!
I’ve been thinking about this weeks Tuesday Trigger – Perty & Flirty… and and in the end decided I would include the background as well as that gorgeous yellow! I have another baby shower this Friday (hope it’s not conatagious) and…
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…
Sweets & Treats
CAS-ual Fridays is having a Sweets & Treats Challenge, what a fabulous inpiration. I’m totally into paper piecing at the moment, and loving it! I think I forgot about it for a while there…. Anyway the ‘sweet thing’ I went…
Born to fly!
Actually I thought this sentiment was funny… well, when it’s teamed with a bumble bee that is! Another great set of colours this week from The Play Date Cafe team, Eggplant, Fuschia and Orangesicle! I’m going to keep it short…
Butterfly Dreams!
I want ot share with you one of my recent publications in the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine. This is one of my favourite colour combinations and I have shares in Bazzill papers – Dragonfly and Swimming Pool and my Copic…
Welcome Mitchell
This is an order for a new proud grandmother. I stayed with the traditional baby blue colours and kept it pretty using the Lawn Fawn – Plus One stamps. The Less is More Challenge this week invites us to use…
A Challenge Birthday!
How could I resist this weeks Play Date Cafe Challenge when the colours are called Redish Orange, Yucky Yellow & Juniper! I combined it with this weeks CASE Study Challenge where the muse is still the amazing Jill Foster. Just…
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…
Lullaby?
I kinda took a different approach to this weeks Tuesday Trigger: Lovely as a Lullaby. There really is no lullaby, but I think it’s lovely anyway. I was inspired by the colour combination, polkadots & stripes. I’ve been watching all…
I’m Sew Excited!
I’m Sew Excited! I’m joining the Challenge in the Moxie Fab World, really it’s just sew fantastic!! (sorry, couldn’t resist) When I saw these Dress Forms at Scrapmatts I knew they were just perfect for this challenge, then it was just…
XO Smooches
I saw the new Play Date Cafe colour challenge, bright and bold and I was in! I know I’ve used my Paper Smooches stamps… again, but they are just awesome and they stamp like a dream! And… they are fun!…
Woohooo!
I nearly didn’t finish this one (again)! I really loved this weeks inspiration from the Play Date Cafe, to me the colours seem very vintagy (not my usual style… maybe that’s why I struggled). I do LOVE my new Paper Smooches stamps…
Sweet Neapolitan
For this card I combined the Lawnscaping CAS Challenge with this weeks Tuesday Trigger : Cosmopolitan Neapolitan. I was inspired by the neapolitan colours, of course, and icecream is ‘sweet’ and that’s what it says on my card… there was some logic there…
Plant Smiles!
I couldn’t let the week go by and not join in the fun at CAS-ual Friday!! This week it’s a sketch… they sure love to ‘mix-it-up’! Well I’m up for it, and if you want to join in, you can find…
Congratulations!
I decided to incorporate two challenges in this one blog as the cards are very similar. My first card is for the new CAS-ual Fridays blog challenge where the theme this week is Graduation, hard to believe we are in…
