Bee Happy!

I decided to combine these two challenges in the one post as the cards I made are very similar.   I was playing with the May ‘freebie’, yes you heard me right, it was a free digi image from Paper Smooches & just…

I {heart} stamps!

So I went to my very first Copic class the other day, and now I feel the need to top up on a few more colours (have you seen all the new ones)…  but so far I’m resisting!    I am trying…

Just because it’s ‘In Bloom’

The team from The Play Date Cafe have created yet another fantasmagorical challenge, dontcha just adore this colour inspiration!!   I used my ‘new‘ Memento Dew Drops colours (12 glorious colours in one handy pack), it’s great not to be limited…

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…

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. …

On your Shower

I am sooo excited my Lawn Fawn stamps finally arrived! (thank you long week-end)   What perfect timing, I am going to a baby shower tomorrow… so they have already seen ink!  I was inspired by the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger &  there…

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…

Teapot Dots!

   I was sooo excited when I saw the current colour challenge  at The Play Date Cafe I just think these colours go so well together.   Here are my polka dot tea pots in their bright colours, now all I want to do is find this set somewhere…

An Easter Card for… Easter!

So guess who doesn’t own any Easter stamps?  It’s funny that I didn’t  realise this until I started making an easter card for the current Scrapbook Boutique and Copic Oz  challenges.  Anyway I made do with what I have and enjoyed a little paper…

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…

Did you miss me?

I’ve been on holidays & WOW was it some fun!  But now I am back & boy do I have some wonderful blogs to catch up on.  I will be sharing some fabulous photos of my trip to Outback Australia after my post……

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…

Here kitty kitty…

I just LOVE holidays…  I have spent my whole day playing with stamps & paper, it couldn’t get any better than that!  Especially when my husband is at work, there has been rain outside & the chickens are out running around…

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…

40!

Okay so the computer crisis is officially over & I’m sad to say that after 5 years my trusty laptop has gone to a better place!  Of course this has made room for my new Rolls Royce, sporting lots of fancy abilities…

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…

Happy 21st

This is a card for a friend’s neice who is turning 21 so of course it had to glitter and I’ve been playing with those wonderful Copics… again.  So this will be my entry for the current Stamping with Markers…
