At Long Last!

Hi everyone it's me!

At long last I'm feeling a little better and have found a minute to not only do a challenge but also post it before the challenge finishes. YA ME!

So here it is. This is for the awesome sketch over at Just Magnolia. Pop over and check it out and while your there have a look at the DT's creations they are absolutely BEAUTIFUL.

I have use a sitting Tilda stamp coloured with my Promarkers. The cicle that she is sitting in is done using my Cuttlebug Machine. Everything else is from my stash, I'm trying to be good and not buy any new stash for the next few weeks as my Hubby will be out of a job in 3 weeks :( Keep your fingers crossed for him.

Well, I'm outta here I have promised the twins we would go visit my Dad at his "Special Place".

So take care and stay warm (Perth has had a chilly -0.6* over night).

Thanks for popping by and leaving all the comments I really do appreciate them.

Daring Cardmakers

Howdy Peoples,

Just a quick post today cause I'm meant to be working....hehehehe lucky I'm the boss.

This is my entry for the fantastic challenge over at Daring Cardmarkers. The challenge is the June birthstone, Pearls. Couldn't wait to sit down and do this challenge one because I have just brought some and to I just love using them.

I have used one of my CC Designs stamp and coloured her with Promarkers, The swirly pattern is from a Stampin' Up stamp. The ribbon is from my stash and the gorgeous little pearls are by Crystal Stickers. I have added a scalloped edge using a EK Success punch. So sorry the photo is so blah I was in a bit of a hurry.

Well I must be off the magic fairy is not going to stop by to do my job so I guess I will have to do it :(.

Thanks for stopping by

Sketch Saturday

Well Hello,

I know it has taken a while for me to get back to the computer/craft room to do a challenge but after yet another busy week here is my entry to the challenge over at Sketch Saturday.

I have used my Tilda, of course, who is coloured with my Promarkers.

The flowered patterned paper in by K and Co. The flowers are Prima, the Rhinestones are by Kaisercraft and the rest is from my stash.

I have given the flowers a little shimmer using my Smooch Spritz I have to say I love this and I have to confess I use it all the time.

Well that's it for now Stu and I are off to a friends engagement party, yes I made the card but haven't posted it and now, as usual I'm out of time.

Take care thanks for popping by

Who Stole The Sunshine?

Well G'Day Peeps,

It has been a while since I had the time to make a card let alone do one for a challenge but seeing it is a horrible rainy day outside (Who stole the sunshine?) I thought to myself it would be a perfect day to do a bit of blog hopping and enter a challenge.

This is what a came up with for the challenge over at the Paper Take Weekley Challenge. The theme this time round is to "Say it with flowers".

I have used my Tilda stamp coloured her with my Promarkers as you can see I'm still learning how to use these babies. To give her a little lift she has some 3d tape behind her. I have done the patterned paper myself using a Flourish stamp by Kasazz and a EK Success punch, also a mini punch by Kaszazz. I added a little bit of bling by Kaisercraft. The Happy Birthday sentiment is a sticker and I have coloured it with my Promarkers so they would match. The little butterflies are done with Shrinkie Dinks (thank you very much Pam for the inspiration) The card stock is from AC Card stock.

Well, it is still raining outside so off to the craft table I go and do another challenge, what a shame....lol.

Many thanks for popping by

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.

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!

WOW! What a Week

Hello everyone,

Hope all is well. I have had such a very busy week, unfortunately with no crafting bbbooooo! I flew home late Monday night from Melbourne had to quickly unpack and get straight back into things as Hubby flew out to Singapore late Thursday night. I have also been busy with work also, cause guess who is a Senior Distributor? Yep, that's right ME. Yahoooooooooo! So lots of paper work and phone calls, I'm a little grateful for the weekend so I can sit down and relax before Monday comes and I start as a Senior.

So I thought I would give you all a little update and share some happy snaps, the first is of myself, my good friend Paula and my Mum all dressed up to win at the Crown Casino, even though we lost we had so much fun drinking Fruit Tingle slushies. The next is of one of the many views of Melbourne from the Eureka building. This building is 88 stories high the lift gets you there in under 40 secs, my poor ears were so blocked up. We went out off the side of the building in a glass lift box it was truly amazing, but not something that you do if your afraid of heights. The last one is me with all my shopping, well a little taste of all my shopping.

That's it for me I'm off, Paula is on her way to sort out more paper work and I hope to be back later today with a few entries to some challenges. Thanks for popping by.

Bye for now

Moving Along With the Times

Hello people,

How are you all? Good I hope.

I have had a busy week getting ready for my trip away YAHOOOOOOOO! only 2 days to go. NO cooking, cleaning and children just shopping shopping shopping and maybe one or two drinks after all the shopping........lol.

I guess thats enough bragging this is my entry for the Moving Along with the Times challenge.

They have a fantastic sketch to follow this week. I have used Bazzill cardstock all over. The patterned paper is from my stash, have used this heaps in the past just love it. The ribbon is from Wrights, it does have a slight tinge of pink to it. The flower bling is by Kaisercraft. The Tilda stamp was a Christmas present from Heidi (thanks Hun) and I have coloured her with my other obsession, my Promarkers.

Well thanks so much for taking the time and popping by, I will try my best to get back with another posting before I leave.

Take care
