Hiya all
My has time flown by.  It's the end of August and September is just around the corner knocking.  Days have definitely gotten warmer.  We've had high 20s and even got to 30 degrees, considering it's only the start of Spring.  My lovely friend Leah has been showing me these new apps on the phones where you can do photo collages.   So hopefully I'll be able to give you a better view of the cards I'll make in the future.
So it's been entered in the the challenge on

Vintage B'day

G'day
The last days of winter is coming to an end.  This morning has started out beautifully.  Sunny days and a light breeze in the air.  Decided not to go to Crossfit this morning, doing a workout at home which included sit ups, push ups, ring pull ups and free squats - 100 of each for time.  Things we do for pain.
Anyways back to what I'm suppose to be doing here, is to tell you about the card I've made for the challenge over on http://seizethebirthday.blogspot.com.au/2013/08/seize-birthday.html

I've used the negative pieces from Memory Box happy and put glitter to make the words out.  The top hat is from Sizzix - Top Hats and Moustaches, Memory Box - Vintage Bicycle.  Washi tape, SU - ribbon,and cardstock.

I've been working at the Brisbane Ekka Show - for those of you that don't know.  It's where the city meet the country.  We have rural live stock shows, rides, food tastings, exhibitions, show bags and fireworks when at the end of the nite.  So apologise for the slackness of the blog of late.  Here's a card requested for a wedding.  What not to do,  is the question we have to ask.

Anyway here is the finally result and its going into the challenge on

Christmas wishes

Happy Friday everyone,
Today was a beautiful winter's day with it being a little chilli to start off.  I've had the week off from exercising, them archillies heels ain't what they use to be and the left shoulder is still not 100%, but there's no time like the present to get back into it.  I was able to do the work out which was great.
Anyway back to this Gorguss girl I coloured with Copic pens.   Use Washi tape, Memory Box - Cosmo Border die, Tim Holtz stamp and SU cardstock, ds paper (retired) to put this card together.  Lastly I used Spica clear pen and Sakura gel metalic pen to highlight some of the picture.
I'm gonna enter this card into the challenges at
