Hi there Getting my post in early today as we are going to head to Franklin Road and check out the Christmas lights tonight. Last week another friend had her birthday and this is the card I made for her. I CASED it from this one I shared last weekend. I used the same layout… Read More »
Hi there Today’s card was a year in the making – no it didn’t take me that long to make it but the recipient requested it after his birthday last year. Check out last year’s birthday post to get the story – at the bottom of the post. His mother sent me a photo of… Read More »
Hi there It is nice hearing the rain outside – the garden is so dry and it’s not even full on summer yet. This week seems to be the week to have a birthday. On Monday friends of ours celebrated their birthday’s – like us husband and wife share the same day. They can never… Read More »
Hi there Today a very special family friend celebrated a special birthday milestone which called for a special birthday card :). So my crafting fingers got to work and here’s what they created: I used the same style of card I taught at last months Creative Inkers Extravaganza but changed the stamp set to create… Read More »
Hi there Yesterday our friends daughter turned 3. I don’t have any little girl stamp sets but did receive a new set at last month’s OnStage which I used to create this cute card – thanks to Kelly Kent I was able to CASE her card. I did add faces to my ballerinas and also… Read More »
Hi there A couple of months ago my brothers eldest turned 21 and I forgot to blog the card I made for him! (I hadn’t downloaded it to the laptop). Most of us find masculine cards hard to create – try a ‘special’ birthday – that’s even harder. I happened to spot this design on… Read More »
Hi there I hope you’ve had a great day – I have :). This afternoon I got together with a lovely group of ladies and we made 5 projects – 3 cards and 2 boxes. I’ll try and take photos of them this weekend and share with you next week. As I’ve mentioned before my… Read More »
Hi there Wow – I can’t believe its been a week and half since I last did a blog! I’ve had a couple of busy weeks prepping heaps of card kits for a community event that went really well plus my usual monthly card classes – so I haven’t had much ‘down time’ to blog.… Read More »
Hi there I’ve just realised I haven’t shown you the second card we made at card class last month! (here’s a link to the first card in case you missed it) I’m really loving the versatility of Awesomely Artistic. Here we’ve used it for the Spotlight Technique (CASED from Iina). All the images are stamped… Read More »
Hi there Here we are at the end of another week – I hope to get some more crafting in this weekend and have a play with some of my stamp sets and accessories that haven’t seen much ink or use lately. Last weekend I used some challenges for inspiration (and motivation) so I may… Read More »
Hi there It’s ages since I participated in a ‘challenge’ – so today’s card is a sketch challenge and a colour challenge rolled into one. For the sketch I’ve gone with one from Freshly Made Sketches – #204 and for my colour combo I’ve used ColorQ – #308 – although I have changed a few of… Read More »
Hi there Who loves ice cream and what is your favourite flavour? Mine is Rum and Raisin from Ollies Ice Cream Parlour in Royal Oak. With summer just around the corner there will be a few evening walks in this direction! My ice cream below is a triple scoop – mint, strawberry and chocolate –… Read More »
Hi there I hope you’ve had a good weekend – ours was very productive. A couple of months ago Mercury Energy had a promotion where you could choose a date and you wouldn’t be charged power for the whole day:) So we booked in the 1st of August and made the most of it –… Read More »
Hi there I hoped you enjoyed yesterday’s card. When a new catalogue comes out we often end up forgetting stamp sets that have ‘carried over’ from the previous catalogue so I decided to use a ‘carry over’ stamp for my second card. I haven’t used Six-Sided Sampler as much as I thought I would so… Read More »

In amongst all this social butterflying… Read More »
