Angels


I seen these cute little Angels on Alana's blog and i just couldn't wait to make them. They are made out of the fabulous flowers stamp set, the pretties kit and a piece out of the silver hodgepodge. I fell in love with them as soon as I saw them. So I will be making a few more of these for our Christmas tree this year. So far I have made this one in Pretty in Pink and one in Soft sky. I hope you are enjoying your sunday....

Scrapbooking Page

Goodmorning Everyone! I have finally decided to show you some of my scrapbooking. I realised I have been putting my cards on here but not my scrapbooking. So today is the day to introduce you to my scrapbooking. When I scrapbook I like to use a 12 x 12 page and for me its a story with photo's, so I like to use a lot of photos to a double page. I hope you like my style because after looking around other people blogs it is a little different. Ok down to the details, I used Kraft, Brocade Blue, Mellow Moss, Close to Cocoa and Confetti Cream cardstock. Inks were Sahara Sand, Close to Cocoa, Brocade Blue, Mellow Moss & So Saffron. The stamp sets I used were Life's a Breeze, Something Fishy jumbo wheel & Enjoy Every Moment out of the Spring Mini Catalogue, Remember tomorrow is the last day for ordering this one......It's a great set.....

Kids Christmas Decorations



I had some fun the other day with the kids doing same kiddy craft. We decided to make some Christmas Decorations with "Mummy's Stampin Stuff" - OMG!!!!! I took a few big deep breaths and handed an ink pad each to my two year old and four year old. They had an absolute ball but to their dismay Mummy had to do the glitter bit. The colours were picked by Nicholas and Josephine. Nicholas wanted a yellow decoration and Josephine wanted a Pink decoration. So that is what we have made. We used the Chipboard pieces out of the Spring Mini Catty, only a couple of days left for ordering these.... I then stuck a piece of acetate to the back using tombow and then filled it with chunky glitter and then stuck another piece of acetate on the top to keep all the glitter in. We then punched a hole with the Cropadile and set a large eyelet and threaded some ribbon through. We had to have a Merry Christmas on there so we stamped that on a piece of white and punched it out and stuck to another piece of chipboard. The kids had heaps of fun.......

Keeshs Sketch




This was one of the first sets that I fell in Love with in the new Summer Mini Catty. I have been busting to use it and this was the perfect opportunity, Keesh's Sketch Challenge. This little puppy reminds me off our new chocolate brown kelpie that the kids have named "Choc" short for Chocolate......That is why the puppy is watercoloured in Choc Chip. Ok I have used Chocolate Chip, Creamy Caramel and Close to Cocoa for the coloured and I have watercoloured using the crayons and the aqua painter. I have used two Background stamps being sanded and weathered. The puppy stamp is out of the For Father set.

Mel's Challenge


I made this card for Mel's Challenge, which was to make a Christmas card out of Non-traditional Christmas colours. I used Soft Sky, Close to Cocoa and Confetti Cream. The stamp set I used is Season's of Joy. Oh yes and I also used a bit of DS Paper out of the notebook range.

Sympathy Card

I seen this card on Mel's Blog which she cased from Beate Johns. I needed a Sympathy card and I thought it would make a nice one. The colours are Always Artichoke, Chocolate chip and River Rock. I made a mask and sponged around it in River Rock and used my markers to colour the tree. I used faux stitching around the mask line. The stamp sets used are Close as a Memory and Lovely as a tree.

Keeshs inspiration challenge




I made this card for Keesh's weekly challenge. This week was an inspiration challenge where Keesh provided this photo and we had to make a card from it. The Base is Kraft cardstock stamped with the sanded background stamp in Sahara Sand. I stamped the flowers in Tempting Turquoise and glittered the centres with dazzling diamonds. The stamp set I used are in the up and coming mini catty that starts on the 1st December. I used the wide Chocolate stitched ribbon that is also in the new mini and used a rubon for the saying. Have a great day.

Oh by the way the stamp sets are called say it with scallops and eastern blooms. I also used the Square Scallop punch and the scallop edge punch as well.

I have used the By land stamp set & jumbo outline alphabet. The colours are Chocolate Chip and Close to Cocoa and the Outlaw DS Papers. I hope you like it....

Baby Card



I entered a swap on the ESAD Site and this was the card that I made for it. I think that everyone should have there swaps now so it is ok to post. I used the Enjoy every moment stamp set out of the spring mini and the daisy dash wheel. The your was out of the everyday flexible phrases and the little one is out of Nursery Necessities. I used the scallop circle punch and the tab punch punched twice in the front of the card to make the circle to see the words underneath.
