‘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…

Falling Leaves

I am really liking these leaves at the  moment – even though I’ve had them for ages I have not used them as much as I thought I would.  This is the card I decided to scraplift for the current Caardvarks Challenge, …

Penny Black Thanks

This is a Thank You card for a 10 year old girl,  so of course it needed some pinkness & prettiness.    This is entered in the current   Clean & Simple Fall to Layout 111.   I just love this sketch, the…

Growing up is Optional!

So this will be just a quick post to enter this card into this weeks challenge at Sassy Studio Designs, Dare to be Sassy #41.  It’s breast cancer awareness month & the colour is pink… so why not make it…

Happy Thanksgiving – in Australia?

This is my first ever Thanksgiving card and it’s heading off with the Halloween cards towards the US.  I used the colour inspiration from the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger.  You may notice that I got a little carried away with the…

Have a Spooktacular Halloween from Oz

Halloween is not really celebrated in Australia, although there are some hopeful enthusiastic children who trudge around with massive shopping bags on October 31st just in case…  So when I had to make some  halloween cards to send to the…

Sweetheart Flower

So I wasn’t particularly happy with my entry to the Scrapbook Boutique Colour Challenge.  I thought I could do better.  This is my second attempt.  Not quite so pastelly (not sure if there is such a word),  I think it’s…

Cupcake Bouquet challenge

Well it’s time for another Scrapbook Boutique Challenge  (for the aussie papercrafters).  It is a great online shop and their blog is packed full of information.  This challenge is colours, and I thought these would be easy…  I just don’t think…

Curly Flowers

So here is another challenge that I have been having some fun with.  It’s the current Caardvarks challenge which is Clean & Simple with stamping…  I made a couple of matching thank you cards, so I thought I would share both…

Splash Dance

Hi Again.  I’ve been playing with a couple of challenges so I will post them  over the next couple of days.  I thought I would start with a fun one.  It’s the Clean & Simple – FTL 108.  I just…
