Have a Lovely Day at Scrapbook Boutique (video).

Today at Scrapbook Boutique I felt like doing some colouring so out came the Copics and some My Favorite Things goodies and this is the end result.  It did need a little something though…  and nothing in my stash would ‘match’ that ‘s when I had that total Aha moment and Mama Elephant came to the rescue.  I decided to film as I created just in case you wanted to watch.

Run Turkey!

A BIG Happy Thanksgiving to all my gorgeous friends across the water!

This year I wanted to make a fun Thanksgiving card for my SIL, hugs to you GF and I hope that you have a fab Aussie Thanksgiving!  My knowledge about this holiday is very limited  so I had to liaise with  my Cultural Attache (ie my American/Aussie husband who immigrated with his family at the age of 4 to Australia) and…   my other problem was I don’t own any ‘Thanksgiving’ stamp sets, so this is what we came up with.

Celebrating 100 at CASE this Sketch!

So so happy to be asked to join in the fun at CASE this Sketch, can you believe this is the 100th Sketch and they are having a party!

This team was an amazing turning point for me creatively, I just couldn’t ‘get’ sketches, for me it was always about the colour and now it’s about both!  Although in saying that, I think I had too many ideas for Chrissy’s fabulous sketch and consequently I struggled with this one, you know how it goes…   should’ve just stuck it in the first place I put it, not move it around for an hour first and then stick it in the original spot lol.

Welcome to patterned paper at Muse!

Not sure if I may have just overdone it a little….   well, I did say that I wanted to use some patterned paper and so I did, a LOT of it lol.  I made a real mess creating this and at one point I couldn’t find my baby sheep at all, some hurried cleaning and he was luckily located all happy and ready to sit on the card front.

I can’t wait to see how this inspires you and maybe you can use just a little of your paper stash too!
