Hello Friend

Thought I would share a card that was published in the Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine which was based on a sketch.  These AnnaBelle Stamps flowers are totally gorgeous and I couldn’t resist stamping it up nice and bright.  Hope you are having a ‘nice & bright’ day yourself!

Happy Birthday!

I’ve been just playing today having a bit of fun ‘kissing’ in the craft room…..   well that is, stamp kissing.  This is such a fun technique and A Blog Named Hero is challenging us this week!  It’s been forever since I’ve had a chance to join another of my fave challenges CASE study and their current Muse is the very talented Joy Taylor, I’m such a BIG fan!  I adore her card and really struggled to stray too far from the original version.  Well I’m off to work now, hope you have a great week planned!

Live for the Challenge!

I just had to partake in this weeks Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger, how could I not be inspired by these gorgeous colours and funky birds!  I stepped it up a little by joining up with the current Retro sketches challenge, another fab  design this week….  maybe sketches aren’t scaring me as much as they used to, I might be onto a good thing here!

Anyhoo, hope you’re having a great weekend, I’m off to Brisbane for a conference tomorrow and looking forward to a little shopping and eating…   (and of course the conference is in there somewhere too)  Love it!

What a Pear!

~ lostinpaper ~ 19 Comments

This is such a  fab set of stamps from Basic Grey that I thought I may as well use one of their paper pads to co-ordinate with it.  These colours are just great – a little different to my usual style (it’s good to do the spread wing thing).    I was lucky enough to have these cards accepted by the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine.    It was such a fun set to make – I hope you like them.

Perky Plants!

~ lostinpaper ~ 27 Comments

If you haven’t seen much of me at the moment it’s because I’m working night duty and tend to go a little underground.  It’s hard to be enthused when I’m sooo tired.  But I’m nearly finished and then I have a week’s holiday at the beach, I have massive plans to do ‘not much at all’!

I thought I would share with you these cards that were accepted by the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine, ‘Grow Giggles’ even hit the front cover (yippeee)!   I had a play with my Paper Smooches ‘Perky Plants’ and I think they are ultra cool!  I just kept finding more stamps and before I knew it I had 4 cards… uber cool!   Thanks for visiting me today…..   I’m heading off to sleep now.
