Hi there This week’s challenge over at Just Add Ink was to ‘Just Add Beaches’. I don’t have any beach themed stamps so pulled out my trusty set Crab & Company. Now I know this set has been retired for awhile but I will never part with it. I think it’s great for all ages and has… Read More: JAI #109 »
Hi there This week’s card is for my Mum – it’s her birthday today . Happy Birthday Mum, I hope you have had a great day. This photo doesn’t really do the card justice, it’s better in real life. There is no stamping on the outside of the card – just various papers from the… Read More: Try Stampin on Tuesday #57 »
Hi there When I saw this weeks sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches I thought I’d try something different with it. Instead of it being a flat card front I’ve made it that the right hand piece opens out (once you take the band off). I cut a slot in the DSP then slotted the Whisper White… Read More: Freshly Made Sketches #26 »
Hi there I hope you’ve all had a good day. This morning we were able to get out into the garden and attack the weeds and pull out the last of the summer vege plants. Now to start thinking of the winter crops. Here is the card I made as my swap for last weeks… Read More: My swap card »
Hi there Over at SU Only Challenges this week they’ve gone green – any shade will do. I’ve gone with Pear Pizzaz and it’s Dynamic Duo – Garden Green. The challenge was to make a card with green as the focal point. Last weekend at Demo Stamp Camp Bev Poultney taught us how to make these cool flowers using… Read More: SU Only Challenge »

So without further ado here is my card: I need some thank you cards and don’t seem to have any in my supply so you… Read More: Try Stampin on Tuesday # 56 »
Hi there (This post was meant to have been put up on Friday BEFORE I left for stamp camp but I forgot 🙁 so just imagine it’s Friday lunchtime as you read this!) As promised here is the matching gift to go with the card I posted here. By the time this is posted the recipient… Read More: Matching gift »
Hi there I’m sitting here eating my salad (still trying to think it’s summer) but I should be eating something warm as I’m feeling cold – never mind. The challenge this week at JAI is to CASE Nikki Spencer. I checked her entire blog and picked about 6 I’d like to CASE but have narrowed it down to… Read More: Just Add Ink #107 »
Hi there Well I’ve had a busy crafting weekend but you’ll have to wait a bit to see all my creations :). Next weekend I’m away on a demo stamp camp so I’ve been preparing my swaps. I did however make time this afternoon to play along at this weeks challenge for TST. I will be… Read More: Try Stampin on Tuesday #55 »
Hi there I finally got round to completing this weeks challenge over at TST – not sure where the week has gone! Phil’s twin uncle’s have their birthday next month so thought I’d do this weeks layout with a masculine touch. In my last order I bought the Regal Watercolour Wonder Crayons and have been dying to… Read More: Try Stampin on Tuesday #54 »
Hi Over at the NZSU blog I gave everyone a challenge – to use the big shot for a card or 3D project. So I thought I’d better enter it myself! I make the birthday gifts for all the staff at work and this year I am making a variety of boxes and filling them with chocolates… Read More: Big Shot Challenge »
Hi there Well half our driveway has now been concreted and it looks fantastic. The other half has been removed and is ready for the concrete but the weather isn’t playing game 🙁 so we’ll just have to wait a few days. Now onto my project. When I saw this weeks colours at JAI I knew I… Read More: JAI #105 »
Hi there Thought I’d do a quick post while eating my late lunch! It’s a beautiful day here in Auckland & we’re trying to make the most of the sunny weather.

Hi there What a beautiful weekend – two sunny hot days in a row! We had a lovely family picnic up in Cornwall Park today – so nice to be outdoors. This is the final wedding anniversary card I needed to make for February. I’ve combined the Freshly Made sketch with the colours from Color Throwdown. I had… Read More: Freshly Made Sketches #22 »
Hi there Wow two posts in one evening! I’ve had this sketch sitting on my desk to complete for a few days then realised it closed in a few hours so had to create this quickly.
