First Birthday Wishes

I made this card over the weekend for a special little friend Jett who has just turned 1.


The image is a digital image from 'Mo's digital pencil too' which I've coloured with copics. The pattern paper I've chosen is from Kaisercraft - Jungle Bug collection combined with S/U blue & orange cardstock.

Added a matching ribbon from my stash and some blue kaisercraft jewells. The number 1 was cut-out using my very new Cricut which I received for my birthday.

Thanks for looking.

Cherry Magnolia

This is my entry for this weeks challenges at:  'Just Magnolia - Anything Goes'
and 'Totally Tilda - Glitter and Sparkle'.
The glitter cherries pattern paper I've chosen is from DCWV 'All About Girls' Stack combined with green SU card. I've coloured Tilda with copics and mounted onto white heart embossed card with a circle doily background . The flowers are from Wild Orchid. The corner flourish is chipboard coloured with red spica pen which fits in perfect with the cherry red.  I've added a very cute little cherry charm too,  which unfortunately has been covered by my ribbon.

Thanks for looking.

Fathers Day Card

Just realised I haven't put my Fathers Day card on. Kept this one reasonably simple. Embossed image with Ranger distress embossing powder. Gives it a nice rustic look. The background was brayered with a combination of orange inks and shaped with spellbinder labels one. Added ribbon & buckle. The pattern paper is from my stash.

Thanks for looking.

Happy 10th Birthday

Our son Cameron celebrated his 10th birthday yesterday. I can't believe he's 10 already. Where did those years go? He had a great day and now has all school holidays to enjoy his presents.

This is his card, made using pattern paper from "We R Memory Keepers' which I purchased recently from my visit to Creations in Paper at Montville. Excellent colours for boy cards. The image is a digi image called 'Skelekinz' from Bugaboo Stamps. I've coloured with water colour pencils. The birthday greeting is from Kaszazz.
The inspiration for this card comes from Kylie's Kraftroom.

Thanks for looking.

Froggy birthday

I can't believe it's been a whole month since I last added a card. I've had a few busy weeks with work/home life.

This little card was made for my sister-in-law Dulcie, who has a love of all things froggy as well as loving these creepy little creatures. Not my fav.

The image is a stamp from Dovecraft called Pepper & Friends which I picked up at the craft expo in Brisbane this year. I've coloured with watercolour pencils & water pen. The pattern paper is from Kaisercraft.

Thanks for looking and will be back with some more creations soon.

Cowboy Card

Just Us Girls are having a "Wild West" theme Challenge this week.

I made this card for my nephew's 18th birthday recently. The cardstock and pattern paper are all from Stampin Up. The Rodeo Rider image is from a rodeo set I recently bought but cannot find the correct name for it. Added chocolate brown brads and mesh ribbon. 18th birthday is chipboard inked with chocolate ink pad.

(I've found where the stamps are from - My Heart Stamps For You)

Sweet 16

Happy 16th birthday to our god-daughter Bronte.

The image for this card is a digi stamp from Di's Digital Downloads. It reminds me of Bronte's dog Biscuit when she was a little puppy.
I've coloured the image with copics. The pattern paper is a RAK and is actually digital printed paper. I've sewed around edges and added a lace heart doily. Added flowers and chipboard swirls all glitzed with pearl glimmer mist. Greeting & verse computer generated.

The sketch I've used for this card is the challenge this week from Friday Sketchers.

Thanks for looking.

Pretty Pink & Girly

Pattern paper is DCWV Sweet stack, Papermania and Stampin Up cardstock. Added some lace/ribbon from my stash. Flowers from Wild Orchard Crafts and glitzed with stickles.

New Look - New Name

Just been playing around with my background and layout scheme.
Have decided on a new name as well.

Hopefully will be back this weekend with some more new posts.

Catch you later.

Happy 50th Big Brother

My big brother has recently celebrated his 50th birthday. Being a keen rodeo rider in his younger years I thought this image would be perfect for him. Unfortunately I cannot remember who actually makes these stamps as I purchased them as an unmounted sheet of rodeo riders. The pattern paper is from Stampin Up mounted onto SU cardstock. The greeting is 'For You' is from Demani Design. Added mesh ribbon, brads and cowboy hat charm.

This is also my entry in 'The Secret Crafter Challenge - It's a Man's World'.

(Stamp from My Heart Stamps For You)

Hope you like.

Kay's 40th Birthday

I made this card for my friend Kay who has recently celebrated her 40th birthday.
This is also my entry in the ' Totally Tilda Challenge #2 - Make a Shaped Card'. This is actually the first round card I have made. This was certainly a team effort putting this card together. My friend Deb gave me the round card base and my friend Sue had the perfect sized doily to fit. The pattern paper is from Papermania. The circle 'Happy Birthday' is from the Cutting Cafe.
I coloured Tilda with water colour pencils to give a really soft finish. The picket fence is also a magnolia stamp. Added flowers, stickles, organza ribbon, charm and punched Martha Stewart butterfly.

Hope you like.

What's New Pussycat?

This is my entry for the Simon Says Challenge this week - 'Sing it baby'.

I've chosen a Tom Jones classic - "What's new pussycat?"

The image is from Di's Digital Downloads which can be found here. She has lots of really cute images. I've coloured with copics and added clear spica pen & stickles for a bit of bling. I found the pattern paper in a clearance box at my local scrapbook store but don't have a name for it. Added roses and rose coloured pearls.

Hope you like.

A Card for Sam

I made this for a little friend Sam for his second birthday. His birthday was in March and I totally missed it. I thought the 'sumpin's wrong' - 'I forgot your birthday' were perfect for this. The image is from Mo's digital pencil and is coloured with copics. The paper is from my stash and was just perfect colours for a little boys card. The stars are SU punch.

Catching Up

Here are a few cards I made prior to going on holidays. I have been trying to get up to date with my cards, so did a bulk make and took them to Melbourne with me. The baby image is from sugar nellie, and the other two are Magnolias. All are coloured with copic pens. I've used various papers from my stash.

Back from Holidays

Hi everyone - back from our holiday in Melbourne - hence the lack of posts recently.

Had a fabulous time. Kids got to see snow for the first time at Lake Mountain and loved it.

Have some cards to post over next few days when I get more organised and unpacked.

Til then,
