Christmas tags

Hi everyone,
I was asked to make some Christmas tags for someone this year.  I decided not to stick to just traditional colours and themes and use what was in my treasure chest of goodies.  I know not all the tags have strips on them only just one in this picture.  So apologise for that.

Hey Hey Hey,
Spring is mighty hot this year.  We've managed to hit mid 40's and we're not even in summer yet.  Good thing for solar power and air con.  The dog certainly loves it.  I'm trying to do more Copic colouring with all the stamps I've got around in my stash.  Going into the challenge on

Hey hey hey,
Hope your all doing wonderfully in blog land.  I've been busy with card creation here, just haven't been able to post pics.  Well I must admit I'm not sure about the fascination of feathers but have scummed to buying a set or 2 to have a play with.  So for my 1st of many feathered creations I think it's turned out beautifully.  They meet the requirement of the challenges I'm entering

Springtime

Hi everyone,
Long time no see.  Life is just running away with end of the year family stuff, work and exercise.  I've still been playing with all my lovely goodies, just haven't had a chance to do the challenges on my to do list.  So hopefully I'll be able to get some more cards done before the end of the year.

Here's a card done with a new Memory Box die I got from the last craft show.  I've now realised to make it easier you need the solid background die, so much easier then to fill in the little gaps.  Washi tape used as ribbon and rubon sentiment.

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

Bike this way

G'day
Spent a lovey arvo at my parents helping them in the garden loosening up the soil for planting.  Carrying a buckets of rain water to all the plants and having them nearby so they don't have to do too much heavy lifting.  Got some new Memory Box Stencils after seeing all those wonder cards on Pinterest.  So here's my take on it.  Had some arrow washi tape which I paired up with a Memory Box bike.  Sizzix die was used to cut out a SU saying.  Memory Box stencil and Tim Holtz Distress Ink for the background.  Might just make the challenge on

MOrning Everyone
It's been a crazy last couple of weeks working at the craft show, cooking and trying to keep up with exercise as well.  Days have been blurring into each other.  Working at the annual Scrapbook and Papercraft show was just full on.  Only sad part is now I don't get to spend a whole day wondering around the stalls browsing the stands and really taking all the lovely displays.  It's literally hr before opening time if that rushing around making sure you get a lookie at everything.  I did manage to get the things I wanted.
I've rediscoved my embossing folders and come up with new ideas to use my washi tapes as well.  This simple card will do at the challenge on

Brisbane Scrapbooking and Papercraft Expo 2014

Hi everyone,
Been working at the Brisbane Scrapbook and Papercraft Expo.  This was set up day!!!  One never knows the frantic hustle and bustle until your working the stands.  When you walking in and see all the lovely things beautiful presented!!!   NOW I KNOW...  But have to admit it's all worth the efforts.   It was lovely to see old customers come up and say hello and meet new people as well.  Now for the last day,  gonna be a crackin' time.  You should see the pack up the PACE is even more CRAZY...  8 hours to set up and we're trying to beat the old time of hour and half to pack up and ship to next show....  HAPPY DAYS.

Evening all,
A full weekend of cooking and working at the  Brisbane Scrapbooking and Papercraft expo.  Happy days.  Here's a sample tag I've made to showcase the dies we're selling.  I think it's gonna suit the challenge at
