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!

Morning All,
A bit rainy here in Perth this morning.. good for ducks! ha ha ha

I have just discovered a new challenge blog after meeting Bronlyn in Melbourne at P2P.


This challenge blog is for Maggie lovers need I say more - cept head on over and join up.. The more the merrier :)

Have a great day

Yesterday was a blast!

Yesterday I flew back from Melbourne to Perth. It was an awesome day thanks to my taxi driver (Thanks Sarah). I managed to get to the P2P craft fair in Melbourne. I had the most extreme pleasure of meeting Zoe from Make It Crafty - She is a fab lady!

I also got to watch her colour!!

I also had the pleasure of meeting Bron from ShopBron. Oh and I spent a lovely afternoon wandering around looking at inks, paper, punches and other crafty stuff! Shhh dont tell hubby - but I could have brought a few extra little items back home with me.. ha ha ha.

How good is that!
Well am back in Perth - but a bit weary today.

Have a great night

Happy birthday SIL

I have created a card for my SIL's 40th birthday, with limited crafty items.. Again with the help of my daughter who selected the papers for me (as I am currently staying with my parents in the middle of country victoria with no scrapbooking store in sight).

I coloured Mo's digitial pencil - 'Sugar plum fairy' with my copics, added some stickles and pearls. Distressed the edges - inked with versamark bark. Apologies for the picture, but i don't have a camera cable so it was taken with my phone camera. The background looks a bit dark, but was coloured with V000 - I think its the way the light has hit the card (sigh)..


Ohhh - nearly forgot - I am going to enter this card into Bizzy Becs October Challenge - girls and pearls.

Let me know what you think.
Have a great weekend.
Sally
ps.. back to civilisation tomorrow.. back to my craft room.. wooohoooo :)

Happy birthday Bro

As most some of you are aware I am on long service leave and visiting family in the East.
Yesterday was my baby brothers birthday (ha ha 41!).. So as you know when you travel you can't take your whole craft room with you (sigh) so with my meagre supplies and with some assistance from my beautiful daughter (the favourite one!) i created the card below for my bro.. Oh I did forget to tell you that I don't have the cable to use the camera - so the pic was taken with my mobile phone and downloaded....
As you can also see we haven't had a copic class for a while, but don't dispair! we will return (smile).

The papers are Kaiser and the image is a Bizzy Bec one, coloured with Copics and not too much bling!

TTFN

Welcome Tommy

Now after that pretty dismal post - I have a pretty cool card to share with you.

My friend from work - well she left to travel around Oz in a Yacht with her new hubbie and they did Fiji and travelled home to NZ and sailed around the Pacific - for almost two years!

So she came back of course very pregnant and delivered a little boy 11 days ago. Young Tommy came into work and visited with me yesterday - just when I needed some cheering up. So as you do - I went shopping and brought a few little pressies for him. Below is the card I made for him - I hope you like it! I was quite proud of it.



As I am sharing this awesome card with you all.. I thought I would enter it into a couple of challenges!
The images are from Meljen's design - so of course I have to enter their Challenge: Blasting to the past - using the a Meljen's design on your first card
Little Miss Muffet - Using Multiple images (ABC's and the stork are different images)
and finally
Stamptacular Sunday Challenge - Challenge #125 ABC's (Apricot/peach (check), Bling (check - yes apart from the obvious I used spica on the ABC's and the stars), Cute (check)) lol..

Righto so now I've posted and entered challenges.. Back to homework for my copic class!

I hope you all have a better week than I have had and may the next week be brighter still.

Ohhhh and guess who taught herself how to feather the edges of her pictures...LOL


Thanks for looking and have a great night.

Sad days

Sorry I've been a bit absent, but we have some family stuff happening and you know the drill - we all need to put our families first! as you rarely get second chances! I was out reading blogs today at work (shh don't tell anyone!) and i noticed that on a blog (can't for the life of me remembers who's it was) they were talking about some sad news a friend of theirs had with the loss of a brother - this person went to their friends brothers funeral to help support their friend on most possibly one of the worst days of their life.
I just wanted to say as a direct quote - LOVE is a doing word, so do something with it! say it to those that don't say it regularly. there was some other really profound stuff, but i cant remember it! All i can say is live life to the fullest!'

I will update this post tomorrow when I can grab the link from work and you can all read it for yourself.


Thanks for reading.
