Just for you!

As New Year approaches things are warming up. I think today was about 36 degrees here in Melbourne. Monday is up to 38! Then some nice ones at 25-28. 

I came up stairs to have a play and my brain just couldn't get going so I had abit of a clear out and found a few things I needed to do something with. One was some strips of c/s that I intended to make some rosettes with. These I just cut a piece of c/s that I think was about 4cm wide from a A4 piece c/s, I cut two out of it ( one length just wasn't long enough to get right around to form it) and scored at every 1cm.  

So I finally put that together and I had a little play with a Unity stamp set. I'm not familar with the name of it, as it was a friends. A Christmas set, thats about all, with a little bird on a branch.

I haven't played with using a Nestabilitie die and leaving some of the image out. I probably could of started with something abit easier but... Go hard or go home! lol.

So this is what happened.

Bling is coloured by copics and the bird is coloured by watercolour pencils.

As fireworks start to be set off for the kids early show I will say good night and God Bless and May all your dreams come true in 2012.

Thanks for looking.

Hi all,

Things are heating up here, about time! :)

I wanted to share a card I made recently unfortunately stupid people who won't be mentioned here forgot to take a good photo before giving it to the person it was meant for! Ugh! So this photo is an almost finished card.  

This image is one a recieved as a challenge image so I killed two birds with one stone, so to speak but I knew what I wanted to do and who it was going to right away. All the basic shape is off a bought card someone gave me a few years ago and found again when I was having a clear out and move around. It was hard to do the middle as I had no nesties that were that size and it isn't quite a circle.

Papers are Kaisercraft and Ribbon is Wisteria Wonder ruffled ribbon (122973) and a lovely Stamp It sentiment.

The bear is coloured with copics and all layered up. His little hat is puffed up with liquid pearls. Lots of others were using liquid applique but I wanted something abit different and I sprinkled ultra fine glitter over the top. He came up really cute.

If you are interested in getting this ribbon just leave a message and I can get back to you

Thanks for looking

Ribbon Lace Punch

 One of the cards I'm making for the Nov 20th craft show on at Scope Daycare. I used the new Stampin Up Lace Ribbon punch on some Wisteria Wonder cardstock. I then used a 3/4inch circle punch and punched out the centre and did the same on black cardstock and swapped them over. The stamp is from the Stampin Up Word Play set. Very simple but nice.

Now I'm off to bed. Night!

Soo Worth The Wait

Today I have a card I made for my sister in law that I mentioned had a baby. Piper is just beautiful!

The button is suppose to be further over on top of the twine but..... what are you going to do now? Very simple little card. House mouse stamp that I thought was just soo sweet. Stampin up thread and button and paper I got at Picture to Page show called Simple stories- Baby Steps.

Inside the card it reads "So Worth The Wait" it was very fitting.


I'm trying to get ready for a little craft show in Chelsea. It is on the 20th of Nov. But I have put some simple cards together and I will post soon.


Thanks for looking.

Exciting Times

Its exciting times in ones life when a new bub arrives. We have one arrive in the family this week. Beautiful Piper Ann Grace was born to my sister in law and one of my best friends and her beautiful husband. A much longed for and unexpected miracle. I had big cuddles today and I was truly in Bliss. Very pretty baby ( no not all babies are beautiful when first hatched) and a very easy little one so far. True joy to the family. 

Picasa has decided to work for some reason, so here are a few older photos I need to catch on. I will totally admit I haven't even look at my blog for a while, life just seems to go crazy sometimes.
Now of course not all the things I do involve Stampin up of some sort. It is all about complimenting projects and making life easier with co-ordinating products without having to think too hard.
Above is a Technique Tuesday stamp set that I couldn't go past. Coloured with the Stampin Up markers and "Yippee" stamped out in some of the new In Color range, that are gorgeous.

 This is an Art Impression stamp. The range is "Golden Oldies" They are soo funny and the sentiments that go with them are just brillant. Coloured with copics including the wood floor and the grey bg. That was care of a friend who said "yeah go more around the ladies with grey" and it soo didn't work!! lol So I probably now need to refill my C1 copic!! lol A little Hodge Podge frame and very simply mounted up. It didn't really need anything else really. I am disappointed Hodge Podge kit has been retired. They just add the little thing that doesn't need anything else. 

One more thing before I start on my husbands Halloween card he wants to give to a work mate.

Heaven help me, I have just started to scrapbook, so these are pretty basic compared to alot. This is my beautiful, mischief making 7yr old James. He is full of beans and too smart for his own good. 

Each of the kids will have a scrapbook, that is the aim. First page will have a page of Mum and Dad's wedding and then a page of them as bubs, abit older, one of them involved in what they love to do and lastly, of their first day of school. Mr James here has one extra cos the one of him with his older brother is just soo him, with the look on his face. Very cheeky and I'm sure he is the reason of my grey hairs! lol

It is hard to see but the top left he is banging on a piece of wood in Grandad's shed with a toy hammer! He has been into making things since he was 18 months and Grandad put a cupboard in my laundry! He just sat there and watched!

Well I am still have some things to sort out on Picasa but hopefully I will be back soon. Unless I get too carried away with Piper!

Thanks for looking.
