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

Good Morning/Evening!

Where have the years gone? ... This card is is for my daughters birthday, she is turning 25, and it only seems like yesterday she was born, she is a mum to two gorgeous boys, who I just adore. Jack rang me at work and said 'Nana Kez', can you come to baseball, then take me to swimming lessons, and can I stay at your house for a sleep over. Well we had such a great time together he is such a character, don't know what the teachers will think when he starts school next year! .... Oh back to my card, my stamp is from Justrite - Plant a Little Love set, coloured with copics.

Lilies

Hello,

First day of filming and all went really well .... only 59 days to go, but who's counting.... me... no not me!..... Well, actually I'm counting down the days to the Copic Certification program.... I just couldn't believe it when they rang and said I had a place....of course I rang Sue straight away!... and you guessed it, we are going together... I'm so so so excited!

This week over at TMITA, its Sue's turn to host the challenge, and we are to use the provided image and do what we want..... I made a simple card, with no DP, I've coloured my image with prismacolour pencils & gamsol, sentiment is from Gina K and my marta stewart butterfly punch, which I just love! .... the butterfly is heading for the flowers! Also, over at Allsort Challenge blog, they have a photo inspiration, which is butterflies... go check it out and play along.

Until next time !

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!

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.

Sweet Milly!

Hello Everyone!

The rain stopped for a few hours today .... so I quickly went out to see my parents, had a cuppa, then came back and was on skype with Olga and Connie, it was so good to hear their voices, we had a laugh and a half!.... They are probably tucked up in bed, fast asleep now. This card is for two challenges, Allsorts Challenge No. 38 & Card Pattens Sketch Challenge No. 50. My image is Sarah Kay, I just love this image, I've ordered a few more, just can't wait till they arrive, dp is basic grey, lemonade, martha stewart butterfly punch, I've distressed the edges, doesn't really show up too well in the photo.

Thanks for stopping by!
