Thinking of you 3

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

Good morning beautiful people,
I can't believe I'm actually up getting ready to go to do a wod on a long weekend.  Must be short a few sausages in the barbie.  So hopeful I get this card into a few challenges this morning since the phone took so long to send to the home comp.  ANZAC is just around the corner and I had this wonderful die.  I hope this fits into the requirements needed on Freshly Made???  Opps another boo boo I think, just realized that Stuck on Sketches might want a machine die cut, I'm sure they'll let me know.
Its going into the challenges on

Well, the afternoon hasn't gotten any warmer.  I cooked my scones a little too long so their a little on the crispy side still edible though.  Had a remedial massage this morning and I think the body's finally told the brain that it's now in pain from all that.  Fingers crossed I'll be okay to start exercising tomorrow again.

Heya all,
Been AWOL holidaying in Thailand for the last couple of weeks with the family.  It was suppose to be their rainy season, but with luck on our side we had beautiful weather up until the last day.  Lots of seafood, massages, shopping and generally having a good time was had by one and all.
Now back to reality - school, exercise and work.
So for my first card back here's one for the challenge at http://mojomonday.blogspot.com.au/

Goodness gracious,
Someone turned down the temp today...  Winter is def around the corner and I think we hit single digits this morning...  Here's one I've done the for challenge at http://cas-ualfridays.blogspot.com.au/

I've used some different techniques on this card.  I coloured a SU stamp image using Tim Holtz Distress markers, used a Versa Mark pen to colour the image so I could use Clear embossing powder to give the image a little shine.  The cardstock is from SU, the saying was using Memento Ink, glitter for the tops of the flowers.   Gave the sides a little stitched look.  I used Kaiser Craft - Lilac Avenue Collection.

Thinking of you 2

WoohooI finally get to put this card up...  Yes I know more flowers.  I do love the simplicity of how this card came together without going too over the top.  I've gotten to use my new alphabet dies.  This is going into the challenge over at http://celebratetheoccasion.blogspot.com.au/

Fall leaves

Howdy dowdy,
I remember going to our nation's capital a cpl of years ago and seeing autumn in all it's glorious colours.  We were there for a SU convention where I got to meet old friends and make a few new ones as well.  Sadly here in sunny Queensland we don't really have a autumn season and winter is non existent.  The photo in my main heading was taken by me when we were down there.  I've always had this facination with holly leaves - must be cause of the leaf shapes and colours.  Here's a card I've made that suits a few challenges out there atm.
