sorry

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.

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/

cogs and wishes

Well the sun's trying to show itself around the heavy clouds.  Sure would make it more bearable for a winter's day.  You really don't appreciate the sunshine when we're so use to seeing it most days. 
Here's a card I've made that came together nicely for the challenge over on

Thank you was using the Everyday compliments from Die Version.  The lace edging was a SU punch and the paper from Kaiser Kraft.  Some sparkle highlights was from Sakura jelly pens.

hello

Ello beautiful people,
I was very lucky to be able to work at the Scrapbook Show here in Brisbane Queen's Birthday weekend.
The first day was busy, busy and busy with hardly a moment to breathe or move.  My job was mainly to showcase the lovely products from http://thepapercrafthub.com.au/  with beautiful dies designed the lovely Emilia called Fancy That, dies from different companies, stamps and did I mention WASHI  TAPES.  Hop on over to the blog and view the image of the tapes from one of the shows.  If you LOVE
Washi tapes - this is certainly the place to get them. 
I got to work with a lovely group of fun ladies who made it so much fun.  Thanks Emilia for letting me work on your stall.

I've thought I'd use a few of the products from the weekend to show you how simple it was to put this card together.  I'm entering it into the challenge over on http://diecuttindivas.blogspot.com.au/2013/06/challenge-119-purple-with-pearls-611.html

Please Know

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.
