Sweet!

Hi ya,

Such a hot and humid weekend, did so much gardening that my mussels are sore, shouldn't be complaining, good exercise!.. then blobbed out in the pool... lovely way to cool down.

You have all probably noticed I've been making birthday cards, first you can never have enough and I've had a few requests. This little image I got from my blogging friend Alicia, oh you must go and check out her blog, she makes wonderful cards, and also runs Aussie Cards For Sale, she has asked me to join, so excited to be joining a talented bunch of ladies!

Oh back to my card, yes the image is .... , my dp is kaisercraft - class of 87 collection, sentiment is Stampin up, I used my cuttlebug embossing folder for the back ground, cut the image out with nestibilities labels 14, added a few flowers and gems and bingo finished! I would like to enter the following challenge:

* Cute Card Thursday - Shiny happy cards

* Crazy For Challenges - die cuts

Enjoy the week!

Friendship ....

Good Morning/Evening,

Now that was one busy weekend!.... I started off by watching Jack play baseball, which is so funny to watch as they have know idea what they are doing, which makes it's so enjoyable! ... then off to do the shopping, then home to do the cooking, in between washing, cleaning... all done, then I had a late night on Saturday night, back on Sunday morning to give a hand at cleaning, then in the afternoon I hit the craft room, and noticed I haven't even opened up my parcel from Stampin Up, I got so excited, and a boost of energy. As I mentioned I made quite a few of these decoupage images, as I liked them all. I actually can't find the web site I down loaded these from, as I just printed them out... silly me, but my sentiment is from stampin up 'time passes .... friendship stays right where it's put!', I sponged around the edge with my new stampin up Tempting Turquoise ink. Next weekend is a long weekend, and I'm going up the coast to visit an old friend and this is for her. I would like to enter this in the following challenges

* Allsorts Challenge - plain & simple

* 365 - keep it simple

* A Spoon full of Sugar - anything goes

* Crazy 4 Challenges - Bling (will I've got a little)

* One Stitch At A Time - anything goes

Thanks for stopping by.... enjoy the week!

Merry Christmas

Hi Bloggers,

Hope your all enjoying the week, which just seems to be flying by!... well called into the local supermarket to pick up a few things, and ran into an old work mate, whom I've not seen for some years, so naturally we got chatting, and wow how I'd forgotten how she loves a chat (LOL), got onto the subject of kids, and yes I mentioned that I was a grandmother and loving it, she remembers both my girls when they were younger .... then out pops 'you must be in your early 50's'.... I was extremely quick to respond, I've just hit 47.... she was quite embarrassed! ... I walked off wondering, have I really aged that much.... hummmm ...

Ok, as Christmas will be on us before we know it, I'm getting organised for once in my life (LOL), I've used a stampin up image and sentiment, dp is basic grey. It didn't photograph to well, due the the gold around the edges. I'm entering this into the challenge at Crazy 4 Challenges.

Happy!

Hi there!

Better make this quick, as I'm going out for a lovely Sunday breakfast .... more about that later!... then I'm heading over to Sue's place for a natter.... I haven't seen her since she came back from her trip, so looking forward to catching up, and seeing the photos. This card is for the sketch challenge over at Stamp TV, I didn't really stick to the sketch... oops... I'm also entering this in Crazy 4 Challenges

Have a great day!

Hello,

Another glorious weekend here in Sydney not a cloud in the sky, so off too the nursery I went and bought a few plants... I made this card for a special blogging friend, this will be in the mail tomorrow! I've used a Sassy Cheryls image, dp is basic grey kioshi, I've coloured my image with copics, and added a little sparkle to her bow and the edge of the flowers with a spica lavender pen.... my sketch is Cards & Patterns Sk69. I'm thinking of taking a photography course, as I'm hopeless at taking photos!

* Sassy's Cheryls - make own flowers.

* Cards & Patterns - Sketch

* Crazy 4 Challenges - paper flowers.

Hope your all well, and enjoying your weekend.

Until next time!

Summertime

Hello,

I've had such a busy day in the kitchen cooking, just made a beautiful vegetable soup and chicken curry, I was going to go into the garden, but its been sprinkling on and off all day, which gave me time to make this card for two challenges the first is for TMITA, and this weeks hostess is Nilla Berglie, and we can use any acquired image from Paper Cupcakes, and we are to take inspiration from this bouquet.I don't think I followed to well (LOL)!....

This is also for Crazy 4 Challenges No. 38, which is a sketch by Cindy Haffner.

I can't believe it, I've been blogging for 12 months, and have met some wonderful friends through my fingers (LOL), so thank you for stopping by and leaving me comments, some day I hope to get to meet you in person.

Until next time take care!

I'm entering this into two challenge,Crazy 4 Challenges, which is a sketch and Allsorts Challenge which is Animal creations, you can make anything you like as long as there is an animal on it!

Lets Party!

Hello World!

What a glorious day in Sydney!..... Well, I'm not staying in the craft room today, I'm heading outdoors to play in the garden, put the ipod on and I'm away.... but I must tell you, I had to go and collect some Basic Grey paper packs which were held for Sue and I, and I said to myself on the way just go in get what you want and leave, guess what,they were unloading a new shipment of punch's, and you guessed it, out I walked the 3!

So, today's card is for my niece's birthday. .... I've created an easel card, used a Sassy Cheryl's image, coloured with primsacolor pencils & gamsol, and I've used 3 different punch's, added a ribbon, a few pearls and it looked plain, so I added a few roses. This card is for a few challenges:

*Sassy Cheryl's Challenge - Jackie is the hostess and we are to use a Sasy Cheryl 'girl' image, include ribbon.

* Allsorts Challenge - Brenda is the hostess and she has selected petals and pearls.

* Crazy 4 Challenges - Its 1 ribbon, 2 buttons, and 3 different punch's.

* Our Creative Corner - Dana is the hostess and has challenged the OCC to bows.... lucky I can see two on my card!

Better go.... until next time, stay safe!

Little Fire Fighter

Oh, the weather here is Sydney has just been fantastic, too good to be inside.... I made this card last week for a little boy who's turning 2. I used a digi image form Mo Manning. I don't think I will get much stamping done this weekend, as I'm babysitting, which will be fun as mum and dad are off to a wedding... This is for Crazy 4 Challenges - a masculine card.

Enjoy the rest of the week! thanks for stopping by!

Happy Easter

Good Morning/Evening!

The reason I've had such a dreadful week, is because I'm leaving the job I'm presently doing, they have known for 4 months, but have just ignored it, until this week, it was full flight, as we have commenced shooting, and have two episodes in the can with eleven more to go, I always said that I will set up the new series of 'Rescue Special Ops'. They love me ... and don't want me to go.... but its about loyalty, and I have committed to another project, and another network, working freelance ... its hard work!

Today I did a big 'spring' clean, inspired by Patti, so thanks for the inspiration! Also Patti brings us this weeks challenge at TMITA, and she would like you to use 'any acquired paper cupcake's' image and her sketch. I've created an Easter Card, using digi image 'Sunny Stroll', my dp is BG 'sugar rush', I coloured the image in my prisma colour pencils, and gamsol. Also, over at Crazy 4 Challenges, you can create anything you like, as long as it has paper piercing, which I've incorporated into my card.

Hope your all fit and well.... thanks for stopping by!

Birthday Wishes

Where did the weekend go! .... Saturday, did the house work, finished of the washing, looked at the time and it was 5pm,. Jack my 4year old grandson, rang and asked if I would come and play wii with him, he just loves ten pin bowling, so quickly showered and headed to their house, stayed for dinner. Then today we all went out house hunting, she is looking at purchasing her first home, its going to take time to find the right one at the right price. When I got home I went downstairs to the craft room and realised I made this card during the week for Crazy 4 Challenges and totally forgot to post it.... its because I can't photograph at night! I'll give this to my ex-mother-in-law for her birthday. Also for Basic Grey challenge.

Too Early!

Hello,

I'm babysitting my two grandsons tonight, they are 4 & 1 and so much fun, once they were bathed, dressed and fed and into bed, I cleaned up, then headed to the craft room, I wasn't going to do any thing, just have a tidy up, as my room is in a mess, well guess what, I didn't, instead I decided to do two challenges in one. This is for Crazy 4 Challenges, which is to use Red, and Allsorts Challenge, this week is its Debs turn to choose the theme and she gives us a recipe 3,2,1, so I've used 3 rhinestones, 2 images, 1 ribbon. I know I'm early, but I just couldn't find a stamp I really wanted to put with red, and the only thing that came to mind was a christmas card. Back to what I started out to do! .... clean my mess!

Until next time.

Valentine's Day!

Good Morning,

With Valentines Day just around the corner, I thought I would make a masculine card. I was able to use this for a few challenges, Crazy for Challenges 23, Our Creative Corner, and Creative Card Crew..... my dp is basic grey, Ambrosia, not quite sure where the stamp came from, but I've embossed this, added a bit of ribbon and a little bling, oh I hope its still masculine ...

Monkey

Hello,

Yesterday I was supposed to go sailing, but it was such a miserable day, we cancelled until we have perfect weather. So, I stayed indoors and played in the craft room. Todays card is for two challenges - Just Us Girls and Crazy 4 Challenges. The digi image is a feebie from Nina at TMITA and sentiment is from Stampin Up.

Anyway, better get back to work.....

Baby Girl

After many attempts, my friend has given birth to a healthy baby girl 'Sophia', both are doing extremely well. They live 12oo ks from me on the Gold Coast, so it will be a while before I get to have a cuddle, but I've received a photo, and she is cute as a button. This card is for Crazy 4 Challenges, you had to use a punch within your

project, and I've used my flower punch for the flowers.

. brown card stock

. DP - Basic Grey - Bittersweet vanilla fudge

. Sentiment is from ildi co.

I've also put a cute little sentiment in the card:

"A new baby girl!

A miracle is always worth the wait....

But most of all, knowing that you can

give her all the love your hearts can hold"
