Good morning

Hello from a bright and sunny day here in Perth.
Gosh! I have had a busy long weekend. Saturday I went to a craft fair which was a little disappointing, and that can only mean two things, I have to many craft items or it was not such a good craft fair, to be honest I would think me having to many craft items would be safe to say.............lol. Sunday was my Hubby's cricket wind up and today I have a Baby Shower to attend. So, I have had a quick visit to the craft table and whipped up a card before going to the baby shower.
This is my entry for the challenge over at Cute Card Thursday where they have a fantastic sketch to follow. I have used a lot of things from my stash, the sentiment, bazzill card stock and the ribbon. Tilda is coloured with my promarkers and the patterned paper is from The Glitter Stack. I have used the new Smooch Spritz on the frame to give it a little shimmer and the stars are made using glitter and Jac paper.
Well, that's it for now, I have to go.
Have a super day and a big thanks for popping by

Bit of a Catch Up.

Guess who got their yellow belts, Yep, that's right, all my babies. I left my memory card in my printer that afternoon so their Sensei took their photos for me so I had to wait until last night to get the photos. I tell ya if the head wasn't screwed on I would forget that too! The boys are up top, Craige is on the left Luke on the right. Leigh-Anne is in the group photo, in the middle back row. I'm so proud of them!
I also won a Polly craft prize over at Passion For Promarkers. They have a fabulous Weekend Workshop where the team shows you all the tricks to use these wonderful pens. I have learnt so much so thank you ladies for taking the time in writing up these tutorials.
I have also completed a card but will have to post it later as I need to go have some lunch my tummy is rumbling.
Thanks for popping by

I did it, I did it.

Good Morning Guys and Gals,
After many attempts at doing a easel card I DID IT! So many have gone straight to the bin. The first one I did for some reason just didn't stand up straight and from there it was all down hill. To be honest I still don't think it's 100% right in the measurements.
Anyways, this is for the challenge over at Moving Along With The Times
where you have to make an easel card, it is also for a friend of mine who is having a baby shower next weekend. No-one knows the sex of the baby so I made a pink and blue card.
The card stock is a blue Bazzill, the pink pearl paper is from Scrapdivate, the image is coloured with Promarkers, ribbon from Tomorrow's Memories. The sentiment and the heart charm are from my stash.
Thanks for popping by I hope to do another posting later today, and a few happy snaps, of my boys who are going for their yellow belt in Karate in about an hour. So it's bye bye from me for now, keep your fingers crossed for Craige and Luke.

Where Does the Time Go!

Hi Guys and Gals,
I'm so so sorry I haven't been around much. It seems the harder I try to do a posting the quicker my time seems to go and I haven't done it. But, today I have gone on strike NO HOUSE CLEANING today!
Instead we have done my catalogues, visited the in-laws and now it's me time, even though it will probably be for 1/2 an hour.
Never mind I'm here now and that's all that matters. This is my entry for the fab sketch over at Moving Along With The Times. They have an awesome sketch to follow drawn by the very talented Heidi.
The brown card is from my stash. The pink paper is by Bo Bunny. The patterned paper is from The Glitter pack. The wonderful Tilda image is coloured with Promarkers and so are the flowers. The rhinestones are from The Paper Mill and the ribbon is also from my stash.
Please pop over to Moving Along With The Times and checkout their blog the DT have done a fantastic job.
Thanks for popping by, I'm off to have a shower and start tea and then a big feast on chocolate YUMMMMM!
