Mother's Day

Good morning beautiful ppl,
Sunday morning has started out awesome.  The day is still cool and a little overcast.

Thoughts and prayers to our neighbours downsouth with all the horrific bushfires happening.  

Looks like my mojo has kicked in for the start of 2015.  Fingers crossed it will stick around.  Will try and do a whole heap of Mother's Day card themes from the challenges I do and send them off to our troops.
So this one is going into the challenge on http://cas-ualfridays.blogspot.com.au/

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.

Feather thanks

Hello one and all,
Less then 30 days till Christmas, scary thought.  Life is moving at a fast fast pace.  End of school year, graduation, work parties, blah blah blah.  I've picked a few new dies from the last craft show and here and there sales.  I'm trying to work with feathers, I think this card came out ok.  It's 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
