Now that it’s sooo close to Christmas for my final card I thought I’d better share a quick but cute design that would be easy to reproduce. Thanks for joining me along the way at Where has the Year Gone? Christmas 2014!
Today’s video is about using my paper stash, no hoarding allowed! This is such an easy card to make multiples of and a great way to use your scraps too. Just set up a little production line and even the kids could help! Love love love using those sweet papers… now, can I go and buy some more?

This card is totally different to my original ‘mind’s eye’ design, but sometimes when the brights take you, ya just gotta go with it. And I’m so proud of myself, I made my own paper bow!
’tis the Season – Detail’tis the Season
From here you are heading to the Scrapbook Boutique Blog, thanks for joining us, it’s been heaps of fun!
Back with another card for Scrapbook Boutique, and today I colour up some embossing paste to use with this amazing stencil from Memory Box! I filmed as I created just in case you wanted to watch.
One of my all time faves when it comes to masculine cards is the Graffiti technique. It may be because I get to make a real mess and join up heaps of different stamps sets (which I love to do). Hope you are having fun with this mini series, I know I’m having a blast making it!
Lots of bright colours, die cutting and BIG enamel dots, that’s what my card for Scrapbook Boutique has today. I decided to film as I created just in case you wanted to see, hope your day is great!
This is my first card for the Stretch Your Stamps 2 Online Card Class and oh my the inspiration is amazing! I just had to make a card based on Shari Carroll’s video but mine is a ‘little brighter’ lol.

I was sooooo lucky to win a place in the class from Laurie and I’m ecstatic…. I will just have to sneak some crafting in around my parent’s visit (wink).
Hey there how’s it going? I’m having a wonderful weekend, spending some QT with my husband. We had a lovely lunch at a cafe by the sea and were lucky enough to see some whales heading north, they were so close to shore, maybe it’s because there were no waves in sight…
Anyhow, I’ve been busy working in the background and will have heaps more for you real soon but til then my share for today is a publication where the call was ‘ombre’, I took the cheats way out and let the paper do all the work, oh and of course these fabulous Avery Elle stamps helped!
Merci – DetailMerci
Tomorrow we are off to a caravan and camping expo, our next camp trip is in October and I’m sure we’ll be needing some bits and pieces to keep us comfy. Have you ever noticed how easy it is to spend money? lol!
This week for Muse I wanted to share a card that I made for publication,my ‘hello’ card was lucky enough to be accepted and I would just love to see your take on this ‘repeated’ sentiment idea!
Hello – DetailHello
Here is another version of the same card where I used some white enamel accents to highlight the wood veneer, I just love how this looks (although it’s a little bit dark in the photo)

Back with a video today using some matching dies and stamps, aren’t these just the best! I tend to buy dies that I think I can use for a dual purpose, now don’t get me wrong I would love to own a die for every stamp that I have, wouldn’t that be cool, but it’s just not practical, but I do love that these flower dies could be used independently , wouldn’t they look great cut out in patterned papers… in fact I think I might just do some now lol.
I was inspired to make this card by this amazing creation from Alice Wertz, all I can say is WOW!
Would you believe that I actually made this video a couple of months ago and forgot to share it…. doh! Obviously I was sick and this year has been a very busy one, but come on, how could I do that lol.
Today I have a video tutorial for Scrapbook Boutique showing how easy it is to use Distress Markers to create a watercolour look. Also, still loving the gold over here, especially the Delicata….. total yumminess!
A special thanks to Sandy for letting me know that there was a problem with the video at youtube, all seems to be fine now (fingers crossed, this is where I wish I wasn’t such a technophobe).
This week for Muse I wanted to share a card I made for a guy who was leaving at work (for some reason I’m the designated creator of cards for all occasions at work… which I’m sure may ring true to many of you as well lol)
This is a fun graffiti technique that was shared by Shari Carroll at the Online Card Class, and I especially love it for masculine designs. I hope you have some fun with it and I can’t wait to see how you are inspired.

Heaps of photos today so I’ll get right to it! These are some cards I made for the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine it was a stamper’s challenge and I got to play with these awesome Hero Arts stamps.
Thanks for visiting, hope you had a great Easter and didn’t eat too much chocolate! I just returned from a walk along the beach the weather is stunning today but very soon I’m off to work so cross my fingers it’s not too busy.

Hiya, I’m back today with a publication share which was a call for a one layer card (OLC). This was so right up my alley I had to join and was lucky enough to have this card accepted using this fab set from Paper Smooches and one of my well loved HA sentiment sets.
I have a quick share today, I combined a few fun challenges to create this card and it looks absolutely nothing like the original plan…. it started out as a birthday cake but that’s a long story so I won’t bore you with the details lol.
Another Texture Effect today and it’s embossing with glitter, such a fun technique and a great way to enjoy a glittery day, because if you are anything like me then there will be glitter glitter everywhere!

Sorry about the less than optimal photography but it’s the dullest day in history here (pouring rain… perfect card making weather really) and I want to share this before the gallery closes in the OCC. Thanks for stopping by.
Other Supplies: Copcs B02. Cardstock – SBB – Powder.
Today I’m sharing a fun die cutting technique for Scrapbook Boutique, what a great way to use up some nice bright ‘scraps’ of cardstock, which if you are anything like me, hate to throw away.
Back with another fun technique Watercolouring Made Easy for Day 7 Creative Colouring. Now would you believe that I don’t own any watercolour paints at all so I compromised and used Distress Inks on my craft sheet, so it’s the same same but different.
Back in class again and now I have a Graffiti card for Backgrounds into the Foreground, I just love this technique and think it’s particularly good for those wonderfully challenging masculine designs.
21 – Detail21
Not my best card but this class is all about learning so I’m sharing it all (well most of it) and I know I can improve on this technique and already have some more ideas swimming in my head…. so watch this space lol.
