Hi everyone,
Hope you all had a wonderful Easter.  We had a lovely weekend spending time at home and enjoying one another's company. This doggie and his birdie friends are my fave stamp atm.  So easy to colour.

Best B'day

Ladies and Gents,

I have to admit I love the colours for this card, fun and cheerful.  I used TE numbers dies to create my background which worked out perfectly to what I was looking for. Spellbinder's Scalloped Circle die; used with Sizzix For the Record2, Documented dies; Elizabeth Craft Birthday die, Pennyblack Best die.  I coloured the cupcake with Copics after using Elizabeth Craft Silk glitter to give that shimmer. Finally washi tape to give the lettering a background border.

B'day Digger

Hey everyone,
Hope we get to see rain soon.  It's just redonculous with this heatwave.  I've stamped this cute TE digger with Momento ink and coloured it with SU water colour crayons using the Tim Holtz fine paint brush.  The background is a Couture Creations embossing folder and some washi tape for the embellishment.  Used a little glitter gelly pen for the rim of the wheels and the window of the digger too.

Plane awesome

Happy Friday everyone,
I discovered the Taylored Expression dies with the cutest stamps that go with them.  The best thing about them are, you buy them together in the one package.  I used Tim Holtz Distress markers to colour them quickly. SU bottons for the embellishment, Elizabeth Craft dies from the tree set to make the clouds, Sizzix tag die from the "Be thankful" and a corner rounder for the tab.

Good Morning all,
It's been a few weeks since my last post.  Crazy with family and life and trying to keep up with all family members needs and wants.  Managed to make this card with just the right piece of paper in the stash.  The off white background was recycled paper I maded many years ago.  Might have to get the old equipment out again and have another go.    It's going into the challenge

Heya,
The week has started off with a  beautiful sunny day but a little on the cool side.  Maybe I should get out of my shorts and put some socks on.  Even after exercising the chill from sweaty clothes doesn't help.  Ohhh well no rest for the wicked.
I've used a stencil to embossing my main background and then used Colorbox chalk, SU markers to colour in the flowers.  A velvet ribbon, some bling, glitter pens to highlight the flowers.  Taylored Expressions tall and skinny alphabets for the saying.  This card is going into the challenge on

Excavator B'day

Good morning one and all,
I think it's a start to a beautiful day.  The weather temp outside is mild and cool.  The sun is slowly peaking out from the clouds.  Been up before the birds this morning, don't ask me why.  So just sitting here watching the Crossfit finals happening in the US.  Some super fit and strong ppl.
Here's one card nearly made from purely paint samples I've collected.  They do have a lovely glossy finish to it.  Used some shimmer power and on the lettering. Going into the challenges

Glitter Xmas

Hi one and all
Yesterday I got to go to a sleepover and make Christmas cards.  How good is that.  The funny think was I only took my dies, minimal paper making sure my glitter, foil and some ds paper was in the pack.  Odds and ends and I survived the nite.  The good thing was my gf had the required Big Shot, and a whole heap of embossing folder that I could use.  So I managed to make 4 cards.  No much you might say but a we all know some days you're lucky if one is made a week.  Well I might be stretching it a bit.

So here's the first one
