Definitely out of the box for me, I felt like making an unexpected card for one of my close friends who turned 40. Not my best photos…. but I’m sure you get the idea, ps her 5 year old son thinks it’s the best thing since sliced bread, the card is constantly in a state of flux!
Hugs honey,
Other Supplies: SBB Cardstock – Bubblegum. Hot Glue Gun. Papertrey Ink Flower Dies. Circle Punches. Hero Arts/Studio Calico – Houndstooth Background. Craft Wire. Assorted Rhinestones. Glue Gun.

Maybe I can dream that I have the style of one of these glamorous models at Runway Inspired Challenge and can put together an outfit as stunning as this (let alone look good in it too lol), but I’m afraid for me, I didn’t inherit that gene….. all I can say is I’m lucky I wear a uniform to work, I would have a melt down every morning if I had to actually choose what I had to wear.
Anyhoo I digress, I thought I would film while I made this card as I had a request to show how I made this card HERE.
You can watch it here or Watch it at Youtube.

This month the challenge is Spring is in the Air and I just had to play with some fabulous stamps from Hero Arts & Flourishes.
Gotta say that this is not my fave colour combination and when I think about it maybe it’s the fact that my school uniform was dark green and bright yellow and I wore it for way too many years…. I don’t mind how this card turned out but you can’t love everything you make right, I’m thinking maybe in different colours?
From here you are heading to the Scrapbook Boutique Blog, thanks for joining us, it’s been so much fun!
Other Supplies: Prismacolor Pencils – Yellow Ochre, Lemon Yellow, Olive Green, Limepeel, French Grey 50, 70%.

I have a quick share today and with all the anticipation of my holidays, I can’t believe that I am already back to work. I did manage to get heaps achieved though and my house is a ‘little more’ Spring cleaned than a month ago. Sadly not a lot of card making time, but today I did have a spare hour where I managed to make a card for the current TAWS Be Inspired Challenge and Simon Says Stamp who are having fun with some Animal Antics.
Have a great week, I’ll be back real soon with some DT cards to share.

Back today with a card for AnnaBelle Stamps where we are playing with one of our new stamp sets Splat Attack and the best part is that you can SAVE 20% on this stunning set!
I decided not to go with the ‘splat’ idea for this card as I thought it would be too obvious, so I just played with some fab coloured inks and made a pattern instead. Gotta say this card is incredibly different to the original version I had in my mind and it looked at the bin more than once lol, but I think I saved it, you can let me know.
You still have time to join us with our current challenge, you can find the deets HERE! Thanks for stopping by, hope you have a great weekend.
I would also like to share this card with the Anything Goes challenge this week at Simon Says Stamp.
Other Supplies: Cardstock – Bazzill – Sea Salt. Vellum. Inks – Versamark. Hero Arts – Soft Apricot, Pale Tomato, Butter Bar. Zing Embossing Powder – Aqua. Heat tool. Bigshot. Nesties – Standard Circles – Large.

Okay, so it’s a card ‘for fun’ today. I thought I had missed the deadline for the current Craft Dash but alas I saw that I had 10 hours left… I could have made a zillion 10 minute cards in that time lol, but this one only took me 8mins 21secs. I have had the card planned for nearly a week and guess what, the finished version looks nothing like it, go figure.
Anyhoo, for inspiration I headed across to my blog friend Lisa for her fab Wanna Sketch and this is the end result. I’m also sharing at Simon Says Stamp – it’s Anything Goes! I’ve been up since 5am this morning and the house is still dark and quiet…. it’s been so lovely catching up on my fave blogs, now I just need to catch up on my fave videos.
Hope you are having a great weekend!

Back again and today I have another video for Purple Onion Designs blog.

It’s called the Vintage Butterfly Set and you can find it right HERE.
I’m in Brisbane this weekend meeting some friends from the north coast where we’ll be eating and spending waaay too much. But the best thing is it’s the annual Papercraft Convention and I will be there on Sunday (doing some real wallet damage), so if you see me just stop me and say Hi, I can’t wait! So for whatever you have planned this weekend, I hope it’s a great one, Hugs

I made this card for the Chevron Challenge in the Moxie Fab World, this is the first time I’ve ever tried this technique and I adore the softness of the chalks with the Versamark stamped image, I reckon I’ll be doing it again. Hope you are having a crafty day!
