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

Up n away

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.

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

Lavendar b'day

Morning one and all,
A new start to the week.  My o my - how time flies.
Here's a card I've put together by trying to get more creative with all the stuff I don't use.  I'm sure many of you have the same problem.  You find stuff that's been hidden in the back of the drawer and it seems like Christmas when you re-discover it.

Morning one and all,
This weekend has been lots of viewing on the Crossfit reginonal finals all over the world watching all these super fit men and women do their workouts.

Well this card came together nicely and fits into a few on the challenges atm.  We've been having to go to the hardware storeBunnings to get stuff for painting the house and I've rediscover paint samples.  Lol so you can guess what happened.  They have a million colours to choose from and I've come across some beautiful metalic paint sample as well.  So this card has some of the samples used for die cuts. Have to admit putting this card was just a fluke when I had the various die cuts lying around on the craft table. going into

Bonjour

Hi everyone,
On the weekend I got to do a class doing this lovely shadow box.  We were lucky to have the owner herself Sophie teach the class.  We got to use the beautiful die cuts from her company called Scrapmats.  It was a lovely hr of just sitting there and putting the box together making it more our own.  The word Paris and Eiffel Tower is hidden behind the mannequin.  So this is going into the challenge on

Angus' Happy Mother's Day Card

I've been asked by a mate to make a card for his mum.  Lol last year's card considered ok so I thought I'd better pull my socks up and try harder this year.  So a little I've rolled some flowers, die cut a teapot and cup to jazz it up.

Hi di ho neighbours,
Can you believe it's already Wednesday.  What happen to the days.  Have to say we still have warm sunny days which is perfect.  Here's a card I've done trying out Elizabeth Craft silky micro glitter and normal glitter on the bear and the background.  I use Memory Box Chesapeake die for some embellishment and some washi tape as well.  I coloured his nose and muzzle with copic pens.  I should mention how I've started using paint sample cards for this card.  The range of colours is humangous.

So it's going to be entered into the challenge on
