Celebrate U!

Well I haven't posted a card for a while! Here's one I used for a workshop over the weekend! I have to thank Sarah Klass for this one! I cased the concept from her! Thanks Sarah!

A New member of our Family!

We got a new addition to our family today! His name is Oscar and he's 9 weeks old! We're totally thrilled with him and the kids can't get enough of him! This is the best photo I could get as he's just loving running after the kids! He's still rather tiny and as Ryan said "I keep nearly stepping on him as he's the same colour as the floor! " LOL

Jean's Birthday Card...

I can finally post the card I made Jean as it's her birthday today and she's opened her card! Again it's using Easy Elegance (I promise I won't post another pic using this set LOL) Hope you like it!














And here's a pic of my cuties at Mooloolaba over the Australia Day long weekend!

Well the kids are back to school!! Brit in year 4, Ryan in year 2 and Jasmine started Kindy! We spent the last week up at the Coast and were very lucky to have gorgeous weather!!

A BIG thank you to everyone who took part in the "Prizes for ALL" $1000 workshop. We filled the 10 spots and I'm sure everyone is thrilled with the prizes they drew! I will be running another "Prizes for All" event later in Feb, so if you are interested, let me know, I'll post more info soon.

Here's a simple card I've done with the masking technique. I've used it in a couple of workshops lately, I love this stamp set (Mixed Bouquet), it's probably my most used set!! The colours are Ruby Red, Elegant Eggplant and Always Artichoke.

Well we're off to stay at a unit up at the Sunshine Coast till Monday so I thought I'd better leave you with a couple of cards I've made over the last week. I'm not posting them all as I've actually been on time for some birthdays for once in my life and they're in the mail!
This one's using the set again (I love this one) called Easy Elegance out of our Summer Mini Catalogue. The colours are Ruby Red, Always Artichoke and Pumpkin Pie.


This next one, is using some Chipboard from On Board Accents, which I've covered with paper from the Loves Me 12x12 Designer Series Papers. Now the photo just didn't turn out the best as the Glitter on the background looks horrible! It's been stamped with a little star stamp and glitter added with heat and stick powder. It looks much better in real life.

New Stamps!

Well I've finally had time to play with my new stamp sets!

First here's a couple of cards using the Sweet on You set from the Summer Mini Catalogue! It's such a cute set (and so cheap at only $23.95), and the matching 12x12 papers are just divine! They look so much better in real life than in the catalgoue! And the matching ribbons are also just beautiful with heaps of texture!

The colours I've used are Regal Rose, Close to Cocoa and Taken with Teal is also used in the first card. The little wording stamp "Thanks for making me smile" is from the small saying set, also from the Summer Mini.
