G'day
The last days of winter is coming to an end.  This morning has started out beautifully.  Sunny days and a light breeze in the air.  Decided not to go to Crossfit this morning, doing a workout at home which included sit ups, push ups, ring pull ups and free squats - 100 of each for time.  Things we do for pain.
Anyways back to what I'm suppose to be doing here, is to tell you about the card I've made for the challenge over on http://seizethebirthday.blogspot.com.au/2013/08/seize-birthday.html

I've used the negative pieces from Memory Box happy and put glitter to make the words out.  The top hat is from Sizzix - Top Hats and Moustaches, Memory Box - Vintage Bicycle.  Washi tape, SU - ribbon,and cardstock.

LOve

Well it's Friday.
I've been working at the Brisbane Ekka Show - for those of you that don't know.  It's where the city meet the country.  We have rural live stock shows, rides, food tastings, exhibitions, show bags and fireworks when at the end of the nite.  So apologise for the slackness of the blog of late.  Here's a card requested for a wedding.  What not to do,  is the question we have to ask.

Anyway here is the finally result and its going into the challenge on

Happy Friday everyone,
Today was a beautiful winter's day with it being a little chilli to start off.  I've had the week off from exercising, them archillies heels ain't what they use to be and the left shoulder is still not 100%, but there's no time like the present to get back into it.  I was able to do the work out which was great.
Anyway back to this Gorguss girl I coloured with Copic pens.   Use Washi tape, Memory Box - Cosmo Border die, Tim Holtz stamp and SU cardstock, ds paper (retired) to put this card together.  Lastly I used Spica clear pen and Sakura gel metalic pen to highlight some of the picture.
I'm gonna enter this card into the challenges at

Best friends

bonjour everyone,
It's Monday and the is nearly over or rather the sun had gone to bed.  The day has been freezing with a real chilly factor.  I know it's not single digits and below freezing but for Sunny Queensland it was cold.  I had a remedial massage this morning and yes I cried mercy when my calf was worked on.
So on to this cute card I put together.  I've made a little ribbon for her hair, but the light wasn't the best to show you how well it turned out.  The bunny had  sparkly pen to give the tail a zing.

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.
