CATS

Good Morning / Evening,

We have a late start at work today, so that means a late night! As I'm so used to getting up early, I decided to go and finish off my card which I started last night. This card is for There's Magic In The Air, and this week Pat Pedder brings us the challenge, we are to use the freebie 'Cats' by Paper Cupcakes, and she wants to see spots. I've coloured my image with copics, and the dp is kaisercraft, don't know the name as it was in the scrap basket. The sketch is from this weeks Mojo Monday Wk 144.

Hope all is well around the world!

Get Well Soon

Good Morning/Evening!

Ok don't fall over.... yes I'm back! ..... my craft room looks like a bomb has gone off, but I'm loving it, I'm just going to close the door and walk away (LOL).... Ok this is for There's Magic in the Air, and this week Patti Nelson has challenged us to a monochromatic theme project. Monochromatic is one colour with variations of the same.

Off to work I go..... have a great week!

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!

TMITA - Spring

Good Morning,

Hope this finds you all well, I have my sister-in law down from Coffs Harbour this weekend, she's fallen asleep in front of the television, and I've headed straight for the craft room, to finish off this card for TMITA challenge and this week Sue Walsh is the hostess and she wants us to do a CAS card, and to use this image. So this is how it goes!

1. Clean: the design is uncluttered with lots of white or open space. Simple: having a clear focal point without a lot going on to detract from it.
OR
2. simple in design regardless of the number of embellishments or how long it takes to color, stitch or to use a special technique
OR
3. can be copied and mass produced fairly quickly… usually without a lot of coloring, layers, embellishments, tools and/or techniques

OR
4. any combination of the above

Better go and wake her up and put her to bed!

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!

Good Morning/Evening!

After such a busy week, I knew I had to get a wriggle on with some challenges. So, first things first, today Saturday, I went and had my hair cut, then cleaned the house, then came the washing, it's all pegged out in the laundry, as its been raining cats and dogs today, as the last few days, and they say for a few more days ... what's happening to this Aussie Summer. I think my mate Olga is sending her dreadful weather our way! (LOL).

This weeks challenge at There's Magic in The Air, is bought to us by Sue Walsh, who wants us to use this cute little image by Nina, and create a Valentine gift tag, and add some stitching. I couloured my little bear with copics, cut out two different size scolloped nestabilities, dp basic grey Lemonade, pierced around both edges, then I used gold thread and have hand stitched around the edge. How cute is he... Sorry about the photo, taken inside ...

Until next time, happy stamping!

Think Love - TMITA

Hello,

Over at TMITA, this weeks challenge is by Kim McDonald, and she wants us to use the image 'Think Love', a very cute little giraffe by Nina, and create a treat box, bag or container something to put treats or chocolate in. I've created a triangle box, and filled it with chocolates, yum! ... I found the tutorial over at Split Coast Stampers it was quick and easy. I coloured the giraffe with copics, added a few bits and pieces ... and here it is!

My baby, well teenager is having a minor bit of surgery on Thursday, and I will give this to her, just to remind her, that I love her very dearly. Ok everyone out there in blog land, come along and join in Nina's challenges it's fun, and to do something other than a card was fantastic, so thanks Kim.

Until next time!

Hi,

Yippie its Friday, its so hot today, I've been lucky, in the office in Air Con, but just arrived home to an oven, I've put the air con on and its starting to cool down, the weather forecast for Sydney is extremely high temperatures, total fire ban for the next few days, fingers crossed no bush fires! ... I'll quickly post my card, as I'm just going to have a quick dip, before they get home..... and if I may say so myself, its so cute, I love the way this card has turned out. My card is for TMITA, its a free image from Nina, 'Tons Of Love', and Olga has set the challenge, to use red ribbon, buttons, glitter or something that sparkles, so this is my take, hope you like it, and thanks for visiting.....

So today was the day, 3hrs of total indulgence.... massage, body scrub, facial manicure & pedicure.... well I feel a million dollars ... totally silky and smooth. Enough of me! ... So I made this card during the week, really didn't work that well, but hey we all have disasters (LOL), this is Miss Kitty she is a freebie from TMITA, this week, Danielle Lord had set the challenge and its to use stripes somewhere on the project other than the image... I used the sketch from Mojo Monday WK 121.
