sending hugs your way..

Hi Stamping Friends, I have been able to sneak out to my craft room and have a bit of me time. It is very rare that I get to do any stamping through the week so this was a nice afternoon. I was also able to hook up with my mate Robyn who was at her craft desk too and skype while making my card. It was actually after talking to her that got my inspiration going. This is a very busy card, not really my style at the moment. I seemed to have moved to CAS for the minute. I don't know about you, but I tend to flip flop a bit with styles...I am really happy with how this card turned out and once again it has flowers on it...make no mistake, I am definitely in a 'flower' craze at the moment. Anyway, for this card I have used the latest Retro Sketches design and the colour inspiration has come from the challenge over at Inspired by Stamping.

I hope your week is going well, I'm off to watch the footy...Go Queensland!! Lets make it 8 in a ROW!!

Silhouette Flowers

Hi Crafty Friends, well I think this is last card for the day. I actually really like this card, it is very different for me. I bought a new Spellbinder yesterday that had two flower dies in it and this is the Astor flower. My fancy circle is one of my friends spellbinder dies. I really like it too so I think I will have to add it to the wish list. Anyway, back to my card...this is the latest layout over on Try Stampin' on Tuesday, make sure you pop on over and check it out. Well, I'm off, I hope you have a great weekend....until next time, happy stamping.

Floral Window

Well I'm back with another card...I struggled with this one for a while. I love cards with windows on them but I just can't seem to perfect it myself. In the end this came out better than I thought it would. The layout is over on CAS(E) this Sketch and the colour combo is from The Play Date Cafe...very nice colours. Thanks for stopping in.

Happy Birthday - Car

Hi Stampers, the last card I made last week was a black & grey male card and the first card I've made today is a black & grey male card...I see a theme...lol. My cousin's son turns 18 tomorrow and he is into cars so that's what I have gone with. This is the latest design over at Freshly Made Sketches, make sure you pop on over and have a look. Well I'm off to tackle another challenge, thanks for taking a peek.

Happy Birthday - male flourish

I made this card yesterday but didn't get a chance to post it. I had to make a card for a male friend of my daughters and I really like the latest challenge over on CAS(E) this Sketch so I thought I would go with it again for this card. I like black and grey together, I think it looks quite striking....lets hope the daughter likes it too or I'll be making another one...lol

Celebrate today and every day...

Well, here's my second card for the day...I am really happy with how this card turned out after a false start (didn't like the first attempt - less is more Vikki, less is more...). This layout is from CAS(E) this Sketch, colour combo is from The Play Date Cafe and dash of inspiration from the DT at CASE Study. Well I'm off to make another card using this layout as I have just remembered my daughter needs a 'male' card for a friends birthday that is coming up soon. Thanks for stopping by...

Thinking of you...

Hello from beautiful Northern Australia!! It's supposed to be winter here but today is absolutely glorious so lets hope the rest of 'winter' is like today. Well it's Saturday again and I am lucky enough to be stamping & skyping with my mate Robyn. Today's card has been created using the latest sketch from Try Stamping on Tuesday and the latest colour challenge from The Shabby Tea Room.
Well I'm off to get some inspiration to make some more cards, thanks for stopping by and happy stamping.

Floral Happy Days....

Hi Stampers, well it's taken all day to finish this card...it's my son's 17th birthday today so we have had visitors coming and going in between my son's, daughter's & hubby's work shifts. I'm the only one not working today but I have been in and out dropping or picking up and then visitors to wish Matthew a Happy Birthday. So, finally I am able to post my card before it starts all over again...picking up daughter, dropping her off at the annual show, dropping off son at the movies picking daughter and son up from their respective venues...should get home about 11pm tonight....sigh....the joys of motherhood. <grin>
Anyway, back to my card...for this card I have used the latest sketch from Freshly Made Sketches and the colour combo is from the team from Color Throwdown. I really like these colours, lovely and soft. Thanks for popping in...

Delft Tile Card

Hi All, I'm still having a few issues trying to post my cards which is why once again I made this card yesterday but have only been able to post it this morning. I was surfing the stamping blogs the other day...as we do...and saw this great card that Susan had made - check her card out here - that I just had to have a go at making one. It was made using the Delft Tile Technique - check the tutorial out here, the latest sketch from Cardabilites the latest colour combo from Annabelle Stamps and over at CAS-ual Fridays, they want over the edge. Well I'm off to climb back into my bed to read for a little while as winter is coming to Australia and it's a bit nippy out. I hope you have a lovely Sunday and thank you for stopping by.

Best Wishes...

I'm finally back to post the second card I made last night...just ducked out with the hubby to do a bit of appliance shopping. For this card I used the latest design from Cas(e) this Sketch and the DT at Just Add Ink want you to 'just add leaves'. It's my sister in laws birthday today so she will be getting this card, hot off the press! Thanks for popping in...

Just Add Leaves

The Fish and The Stopwatch...

Hi All, I made this card last night while skyping with my friend Robyn. I wasn't able to post it as my son's computer 'takes over' the internet and my blog wouldn't bring up the window to add my photo. So here I am early this morning to get in while he's asleep...the things we do....

I really like this card and I gained a lot of inspiration from Kasia who's part of the DT for Retro Sketches. This is Retro's latest sketch and the theme over on CASology this week is 'Fish'. Thanks for stopping by...
