You're on our list....

Hi All, I'm back with another Christmas card and it's Saturday so I'm skyping with my friend while we stamp. It's been a while since we have had a Saturday together and it feels good! For this card I have used the latest challenge from Try Stampin' on Tuesday where they have a layout to do and then they want you to make it sparkle...check it out. As always, thanks for stopping by...

Season's Greetings...

Hi Stampers, I made this card this afternoon but have only now had time to post it. I'm really happy with this card...I got to use a new stamp set and a new embossing folder. For this card I have taken up the challenge from Merry Monday to use an animal and Sweet Stampin' want us to use a bird and the DT at CAS-ual Fridays want..in a word...check, check and check! I'm so happy to use my window die again too...I really like these window dies.Thanks for popping in, hopefully I will be back again tomorrow, until then happy stamping.

Peace Love Joy

Another card to post and another Christmas card for my 2014 collection. For this card I have used the latest sketch from Feeling Sketchy and some more stamps from a new set I got recently. I think I'm coming to the end of my Christmas card run...feel like I have to make a birthday card or two...I'll see what happens.

Thanks for popping by.

A special Christmas card....

Hi Stamping Friends, I just wanted to post some pictures of a special Christmas card I made for a special friend. I had bought this Marianne Designs die while on holidays in September so when I saw  Monika's card pop up on the Pinterest email using the same die I had to check it out! Her card was so pretty that I just had to 'case' it. Thanks for the inspiration Monika! I'm posting my card onto the latest Sparkles Christmas Challenge where they want more than one fold, pop on over and check it out if you can. Thanks for the heads up Brenda. Happy Stamping all...Vikki

What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday - New Years Day 2014!!

Hi Bloggers....Happy New Year to all, I hope your new year has started off well for you which it has for me. I don't get to post too often at What's on Your Workdesk but I am currently on holidays....woohoo...even though I go back tomorrow for one day, I don't go back to work completely until Monday so it's still 'all good'!! Because I'm on hols I have actually had time to make some cards over the last few days and I actually have time to post a pic of my desk. My desk doesn't change too much but I have noticed that people post different things to do with what they are doing at that time so maybe this year I will take a pic of where I am on a Wednesday as I travel a lot for work and I visit some lovely parts of Australia that might interest some of you. Anyway...back today...as we are still in the Festive Season mode, I have started making some Christmas cards for next Christmas!! I am so pleased with myself as it is usually a bit of a rush for me towards the end of the year. Here I am in the process of making a card for the latest challenge over at Retro Sketches. The cards I have made over the last few days have been very CAS which seems to be my style these days so I have made 3 of each design if I am happy with the end result while I still have everything out. On my window sill are cards my friends have made for me and a new pretty little 'friend' ornament I was given by a long time girlfriend. To the left is a new stamp set I got from winning a challenge over at Annabelle Stamps a couple of months ago which I am really happy with...they stamp so nicely!! Thanks for stopping by and checking out my desk and may 2014 be an awesome year for you!!

Christmas Snowflake

Hello Stamping Friends and Hello 2014!! I hope you all had a great start to 2014...we did....and to start the new year off in my Craft Room here is another Christmas card for my stash. I was surfing the challenge blogs when I came across Beverly's beautiful card that I just had to 'case' it. Thanks for the inspiration Beverly!! I hope I have done Beverly's card justice as I am really happy with the end result. Make sure you pop on over and check out Beverly's blog here. I'm also adding my card to the Cards In Envy who's theme is ICY or HOT. Thanks for stopping by.

December 25...

Well friends...this is my last creation for 2013! I am off to have a swim (and a drink) in the pool with my hubby before the neighbors come over for New Years drinks. I can't believe how quick this card came together for me and I am happy that I was able to use some new Annabelle stamps I got last month. For this card I have taken up the challenge from the Retro Sketches team. I usually struggle with this type of design but this one just fell into place. Until tomorrow...2014....all the best and I hope the new year brings you lots of love and good fortune. Happy New Year!!

Merry Christmas to one and all....

I'm back with another set of 3 Christmas cards....I'm on a roll!! hehe....for this card I have used the latest sketch from Unscripted Sketches pop on over and play along. Happy New Years Eve to all!!

Sometimes when dreams come true....

I made this card this afternoon using the latest sketch over at Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge...they are celebrating their 200th sketch so pop on over and play if you can. I had intended to make a Christmas card for next years stash....while I'm still in the Christmas mood....but to me this sketch really lent its self to a female card and I had the urge to use some flowers (I loooove flowers). I also used a new embossing folder, a new stamp set and a new pack of DP I picked up recently so I am posting my card over at Red Carpet Studio where they want something NEW to celebrate New Years Eve. Until next time, happy stamping....

   

Happy Birthday....Just Because....

Here are a couple of cards I have made over the Christmas break. I really like how the flowers surround the words.

Time Flies....

Here is a card I made using some inspiration from Pinterest but I am still learning how to get around that site and now can't find the card I cased....frustrating!! I really liked this card so I have made another one using different colours for an upcoming birthday. Thanks for popping by...

Squiggly Merry Christmas

Well it has been several weeks since I have been on my blog...mainly due to the fact that I have been having internet issues in my room. I have made several cards but not been able to post them...until today!! It feels so good to posting a card and I can't believe the first card I post AFTER Christmas is a Christmas card!! I have actually made 3 of these cards because they are so quick and easy to make so I am off and running for Christmas 2014!! 

For this design I have used the latest sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch and I have used some new stamps I got from Annabelle Stamps that I haven't had a chance to play with until today.

I hope you have all had an amazing Christmas and I hope you all have an awesome New Years planned (I personally don't know what we're doing yet) and look forward to 'seeing' you all in 2014!
