Ever wished...

Have you ever wished you  can turn back time and remove some of your old cards you did in the beginning?? Sometimes think what on earth was I on...... With going thru the photos that I want to upload I have certainly discovered the "OH MY  GOSH what was I thinking .." cards.

This was not one tho. lol  It just made me think how far we come in our travels....

(Woo hoo imagine when I start taking photos with my new toy....)


This card I made a few years ago. I made a proto type one and this one is because someone loved it soo much she decided I had to make her one too. Looking pretty plain soo far....

This card was before copics changed my colouring life. hee hee (and I had reinforcements on my nails! :D ) I think I coloured it with watercolours. The little dog pops out. All stamps are Ferntreegully Stamps.

Thanks

 

I can't believe how cold it is here for winter OH MY GOSH! I have jeans on and a jumper. :/ 

A package arrived today and it's exciting. I have a portable photo studio, I think they are called so I can get the most out of my photos of my cards. Now I just have to figure out what part vercos onto which! lol

I have been playing with all my photos so I can get some old ones uploaded and get things in here that I want to. 

First one is my sister in laws birthday card. I was having a play with stepper cards.

Yes,Yes they have no mouth or nose but I just love Magnolias. You have give them the expression you want. A friend found the instructions for this in a magazine and couldn't figure out how it went together so I thought I would give it a go.

All are coloured with my copics. The Jeans were done by colouring it all then coming back over with the blender pen to add the definition and texture. I had to convert a "Christmas Present" into a birthday present.

I love the reds and blues together.

Thanks for looking.

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.
