POLKA DOTS

 

Good Morning Fellow Stampers...It is a lovely Saturday morning here in North Queensland, Australia. Summer is not quite here but enough to make it a lovely sunny day, good to be outside..but better yet a good day to be stamping!!



I have sat down early to make the latest Less Is More challenge...hopefully it is still open when I go to post it. This week it is 'Polka Dots' so I have cheated and used the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots to add the 'polka dots' to my card. As usual of late, it is a xmas card, helping me to take the stress out of making my xmas cards instead of the mad rush that I usually have each year.
Thanks for stopping by, hope you have a great weekend....until next time.

 

Mojo #211

Hello Fellow Stampers....I hope you are all having a great weekend. I am glad it is the weekend as this was my first week back at work and I really struggled to get motivated. But, right now, I am happily doing what I love...stamping!! This is my take on this weeks Mojo Monday. I really have to get in and make some more christmas cards so that is what I made using the mojo recipe. Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by.

Mojo #210

Hi Fellow Stampers...Today I have made a 'new baby' card for a friend using this weeks Mojo design. I must admit, I cheated a bit...I had made a similar little boys card a few months ago and as I really liked the colours and image I used them again. I find it really hard to make kids cards, probably because I know they are more interested in the present...LOL...anyway, thanks for stopping by, hope you like it.

the DS #22 & C4C#108 - Leaf

Hi Stampers, After doing my chores this morning like a good girl, I stole a bit of 'me' time to sit down and make a card with my stamping buddy Robyn. For this card, I combined two challenges again by using the Deconstructed Sketch #22 and Crazy4Challenges challenge of using only leaves with a couple of other rules. Wellll, my original idea was to cut the palm tree out but after stamping the image I just couldn't quite do it. I know most stampers will be doing 'autumn' as it is that time of year for them, but for us Aussies, it is spring which is really more like summer. So, I have gone with a 'summer' card. Hope you like it...thanks for stopping by.

Mojo #209 & OCCC - Fall Colours

 Hello Fellow Stampers, for this card I have combined two challenges...Mojo Monday & Our Creative Corner Challenge (Fall Colours). I must admit I struggled with this one as I have been away for a few weeks but I think it has turned out alright. What do you think??

As I still have another week of leave, I am looking forward to checking out tomorrows Mojo Monday as I don't normally get a chance to look at it until the weekend, so that is a bit exciting for me. LOL...it's the small things in life that make us happy.

Anyway, hope you have a had a great weekend and thanks for stopping by.

Less is More #36 - One Layer

Hi Blogger Friends,

Well I have been away for the last 3 weeks travelling through Europe with my family. We have just had the best holiday ever!!! We got home last night but as I was running on a bit of adrenalin, I was able to check out the latest LIM challenge and whip up a card with a heart on it. I cut out a scrap of paper the same size as the stamp and inked around the edge, then stamped the heart image. I then coloured in one heart, then added kindy glitz and when that dryed covered it with dimensinal magic.
Hope you like it.....it's great to be back stamping!!

ONE LAYER CARD
entitled
SEEING DOUBLE

Well, I was able to get a couple of hours of quiet time to create a card for the LIM challenge this week as hubby is asleep after working night shift, son is at work & daughter is at a sleepover. This week it is a one layer card but you had to 'see double' and this is my creation. I hope you like it, until next time, happy stamping.

Lily Pad 'September'

Here is my Lily Pad 'September' Challenge....This time I only chose the colour pallete. I am really happy with this card, I think the raspberry butterfly really gives the other colours a lift.

Lily Pad 'August'

 

Hi All, I had a great day yesterday stamping with some old friends and some new friends (Hi Brenda & Ruth). We stamped right into the evening which is always fun!! My skype buddy Robyn was also there with us courtesy of skype. During the week Robyn & I had stumbled across the Lily Pad Blog where you make a card then post it on to someone on the list. As this is the August challenge, I have missed it but I have also made a card from the september challenge too but I can't post that one either as I will be away at the time you have send it. Even so, I decided to have a go at their challenges anyway. You are given three options...colour, sketch or theme. I chose the colour & sketch from August as I thought it would lend to a male card which is always hard in my opinion. I have made this for my nephew whose birthday is very soon so I hope he likes it. Thanks for stopping by....

Less is More #31 - Colour 2nd Card

 Hi All, I made this card for my friend Robyn who also stamps and blogs. We have both been participating in the Less Is More challenges since we discovered this great site and she has encouraged me to post this card for the Colour - Metallic challenge even though I have submitted a card already. So, here it is, I hope you like it. Until next time, happy stamping.

Less is More #31 - Colour

Hi Stampers...well I hope your day is going better than mine because I have had a horrible day today at work!! So when I got home and saw my piece of shim that I had out for the latest Less is More challenge, I thought, yep, I am going to chill for a while and make the card that I had pictured in my head for this challenge. There is nothing like a bit of stamping to help wash your troubles away, for a little while at least.....

This weeks LIM Challenge is Colour and the colour chosen was 'Metallic'. It has been a while since I have played with shim and since then I have purchased some butterfly dies so this was a great chance to try and cut out some shim images with my dies. I am really happy with the butterfly and I think it really enhances the card, hope you like it too.

Great suggestion ladies and thanks for the inspiration too. Until next time, happy stamping and thanks for stopping by.

Mojo #206 & RobVik #11

Hi Everyone, well its Saturday again....yippee...that means a few hours of stamping which is always fun!! Today I have made a card using this weeks Mojo design & a RobVik Challenge Colour Design. For the RobVik, Robyn & I had to use - watermelon - chocolate - coffee & cream and for Mojo you pick - round or square....me being me chose square as round is really out of my comfort zone. If I get a chance I think I will actually have a go at round and be daring...well daring for me....<grin>

 Thanks for stopping by, until next time.
