WOW is it 2012? already

First off - can I say sorry for being absent.

Do you know I think that work is really getting into the way of my crafting habit and then there was Christmas!

Hands up who spent most of christmas day travelling around the countryside trying to please everyone and feeling exhausted by the end of the day!
Yep - thats me with both hands waving in the air!!

Our christmas day was spent travelling through the wonderful green pastures of Gippsland and yep thats a fair way from Western Australia. Consequently after arranging everything - booking flights, making sure the cat was booked into the cattery, accommodation and hire car. I can tell you I was pooped - as i was organising everyone at work as well..

Ok, enough of the woe is me!..

I have made some cards and will share one of them with you tonight..


Now this card was created for the daughters to give out - yep whilst doing everything else.. who was a good mum and was creating christmas cards.. and didn't send one out herself.. Yep you guessed it.. those hands are still waving in the air!
I think DH had a great idea - send out some cards during the year - with the ritual christmas letter and well - perhaps he can have a go at writing it as well.. ha ha .. nah.. its never gonna happen..

Any who - back to business! crikey even the spell checker is having issues..
i thought i would enter this card in a couple of challenges - yep found a couple - sooo fingers crossed.

Entering my card into the following challenges:
MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM CRAFT US CRAZY & KENNY K - CHRISTMAS, ANYTHING NEW and/or HUMOROUS
Pollycraft monday challenge - Challenge #121 - Punch It
ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE - Challenge # 88 - ANYTHING GOES

Okey Dokey
must get onto the next job!
have a great night..

Hugs all round!

Bizzy Bec's December Challenge

Gosh where did that month go? I ask you - how many sleeps til christmas? If I close my eyes.. it will slow time down - Right?

Ok down to business.

This month on Bizzy Bec's Challenge Blog - the theme is "Christmas". So we are looking for all your christmas crafty creations :)



Ok, so I've used 'Holly on bauble' and one of Bec's free christmas round sentiments ( did I mention it was free???.
Now you can grab both of these at Bizzy Bec's store
Well I hope you enjoy your creating and remember to visit the other girls blogs and see what they have been up to.

Have a great weekend.

Romantic Magnolia's

Friday at last!

So this my first post for Bizzy Bec as one of her new Design Team members. I would like to share with you all a card that I made for my daughter as she is attending a wedding this weekend and needed her mum to make her a card.
Now I do know that Bec doesn't have these particular Magnolia Images listed - however do you know if you email her - she will be more than happy to help you find the image you're looking for.

As you can see I've used some lovely papers (My Mind's Eye), flowers and a Magnolia die (hearts border), hearts (coloured with my copics) as well and these you can also pick up from Bec whilst perusing her online store. I've coloured my image with my trusty copics and did you know that Bec is a Copic Rewards Authorised Partner? Well she is.. and this is great as you can now order all your ciao's, sketch's and most importantly refills from Bec and get tokens to redeem on special Copic items..

Now don't forget you still have a couple of days to enter Bizzy Bec's November challenge circles!

So have a lovely creating weekend.

November Challenge At Bizzy Becs

Morning All,
By now you would know that I was selected as one of the newest members of Bizzy Bec's design team (OMG - how fantastic is that)..
So below is my first DT contribution. Now this challenge is to use 'Circles'



So as you can see I have used this lovely image - Nissa who is from Bizzy Bec's store and is part of her Goth range.
For the circles on this card - I have got out my trusty (not dusty) spellbinders and used the large scalloped circles and the normal circle dies - now of course you can purchase these from Bizzy Becs as well.
I have coloured Nissa with my ol' copic markers - mainly my C Greys and of course an orange and red. I used a dash of my white gel pen on her skull.

I hope you have a lovely day.

Hugs

I am looking forward to visiting your blogs to see your entries.

Happy birthday Josh

Well its been another year - and WOW Its Josh's (SIL) birthday again.. didn't we do this last year! ha ha.. I can post this now, as he has received his card in the snail mail and of course I am the bomb when it comes to making his birthday card! Apparently its the best yet! ha ha ha (between you and me, he is my number 1 fan)

So these two Kenny K images - Queen's cutie is available from Bizzy Bec and Remote Control (Bec doesnt have him at the moment - but if you want him, send her an email and I am sure she will be able to help) - the flash looking rug is some brown fibre ribbon that you can also get from Bec.
I thought I would enter this into a couple of challenges:
Pixie Dust Studio - Paper Piecing
Stampavie and More - Anything goes

Happy birthday Debra

Morning All,
well its another rainy day here in Perth! and wouldn't you guess - Its Debra James's birthday! Yep she's only 35 would you believe it.. ha ha ha
so below is the card I whipped up for her!



Any who - I was back at copic class today.. whoohoooo dontcha hate having a break from something that you really love! although I must admit we all were really hesitant at this weeks lesson - colouring sheer (see thru).. OMG we had some fun! Although I do recall some one saying 'Oh I can't colour this - I don't have the right colours' ha ha... I am sure she is practicing at home as I type!

Moving on - I thought I would enter this card into a couple of challenges!
