Just For You

 

I have also made this card for the Stampin'  Royalty

Sketch Challenge at

http://stampinroyalty.blogspot.com.au/

also for the challenge at

 http://www.hidinginmycraftroom.com/

 

I loved making this card. The hole time I was making it I had 

my Grandmother in mind. I miss her very much and know she 

would have loved these papers by Kaiser Craft.

Yes this is no other than the beautiful Sweet Nothing range from

Kaiser Craft. I have only used the papers and collectables from

this range. Also there brown ink.

The only other thing I used to complete this card were black 

Slick Writer which you can see I have enhanced the edges with

and Renoir 3D sticker letters for the title. I also did the title

keeping my Grandmother in mind. I know who ever I give this 

card to is going to be as beautiful as she was.

Welcome Baby Boy

 

I made this card for the Sketch Challenge over at

Stampin' Royalty. I love there challenges and this

one was great.

 http://stampinroyalty.blogspot.com.au/

 

 The card I have used for this baby card is Authentique - "Faith" 

and they are just beautiful papers in this range. The card itself

being patterned vintage went so well with the Kaiser Craft - Boy

- Bundle of joy papers and collectables I used. This range of

Kaiser make beautiful LO and Cards. I have also used  Kaisers

brown ink. The beautiful small swirl chip board frame is from 

Twiddleybitz and I colored it a copic sketcher #B34. It is a much

lighter blue but over the darker chip board comes out darker. 

The only other thing I used for this card is two of my ever loved

dies. I have had them for so long and no longer even have the

packaging for them.

 

Easter Cards 2

 

These are just a few quick Easter cards that I made in the 

middle of all that is going on here at the moment. I still had

a couple more to make for friends and I was way behind.

I hope you like them

 

 

From my family to all of you we 

send a very big Happy Easter

filled with lots of love.

 

 

This card below is for a guy we know and love that was lucky 

enough to come through the bush fire with his home intact.

Kevin O'Conner is one hell of a guy who will be 70 this year.

It now sits in our home and awaits him. We hope he will come

through the door soon. It is so hard to catch up with some of

our friends. Tomorrow we try again. Knowing him he is helping

someone else each time we call. That's what he would do. 

 

Easter Cards

 

I have three cards to show you today. I have been a little slow 

with the Easter cards this year. For this first card I have used

Card stock, Echo Park Easter papers and sticker accents from

which I made the the Easter flag and the chicken. Fabric tape

 and Kaiser Craft ink were the little extra I used.  

 

I have placed this card in the Little Miss Muffet Challenge

 http://littlemissmuffetchallenges.blogspot.com.au

I love their blog and this month you can enter your Easter

 Bunny cards.

I loved doing this card. I think it is because I love to use 

flowers. I would put them on everything if I could.

The card stock, flowers and pearls were from scraptopia.

I used for the first time patterned papers from Authentique.

They are lovely papers and I will be using them again. I cut

the rabbits and eggs from it. The inking was brown Kaiser Craft ink.

 

I loved the color of the tag. It is such a pretty blue. The Happy

Easter was a Cre8tive rub-on. 

 

 This last card my boys Riley and Harley say is the best because

it is cute. I think they are right on the cute bit. But all babys 

and bunny's are cute. 

 

For this card I used card stock, Authentique patterned paper,

egg stickers by Echo Park, 3D bunny from Scraptopia and the

 grass is also from Scraptopia.

 

I'm hope to get a few more cards made and posted before 

Sunday but right at the moment I wont make promises. At 

the moment our community is still very busy and we have 

lost more than 16 homes and 18 out buildings with this very

horrific fire. Even though my family have been very lucky

we have friends that haven't been and I will be helping them 

as much as i can.

To everyone I say happy Easter though. Please be safe and enjoy

your families. I hope Easter Bunny finds all your loved ones. 

So to your family from mine Happy Easter and Hugs.  

Dereel Fire......Approx 6km from home

 

Today has been a very scary day for my family and friends. 

We are a very close community and this fire has effected, Dereel

Corindhap, Mt Mercer and it is far from over. We live only 6km 

approx. from the fire and my parents approx. 500m from it. So as

you can guess we have been very lucky. Some of our friends have 

not been though. My prayers are with them and those still in bad

danger.  

 

To our local CFA boys and those who have come from lots of 

different places we thank you. Your hard work and dedication 

to protect us and try to save our homes is amazing. Each and 

everyone of you are our hero's.

This is what our fire fighters were still facing earlier tonight. 

There have been 5 injuries and homes lost. I will leave the 

posting of my Easter cards until tomorrow. 

So to all out there that have txt or called I think you. To those 

have helped us or friends I thank you. To those who await the

cards i have done......please be patient they will be up soon. 

Love all. XXXX  

Granddaughter 3D Card

 

I just love to make these cards. 3D cards are fun to make.

I make these cards for Scraptopia who I design for and look

forward to Kylie saying, "I have new 3D's in". It is like saying

to me....Time for fun.

I have made this card with the Challenge at Send a smile for kids

in mind. You can find them at 

http://sendasmile4kidschallenge.blogspot.com.au/

for the Anything Goes 4 Kids Challenge. This blog is well worth

the look and to join in. What a wonderful job they do.

I have also entered it in the Anything Goes Challenge over at

  http://onestopcraftchallenge.blogspot.ae/

This card is a simple card using card stock and the 3D cute as 

teenager. I make sure I have my kids designs right by asking the 

kids I drive to our local Primary School. Kids are great at letting

you know if you have it right or wrong.  When I have 18 from 

Pre school to Grade 6 I have no trouble finding out if I have it 

right. This one got the thumbs up. Lucky me, LOL.

Happiness - Card

 

I have made this card for the next Beyond Grey Challenge.

BGC #27 is a "Fetch that Sketch" card Challenge. Us DT 

girls used the design below. It was a great one to do.

 

This months Challenge prize is from Crafters Corner.

I'm sure you will love it if you are lucky enough to 

win the challenge. 

 

But wow..... Check out the Grafic 45 papers. I just love them. 

They are awesome to work with. They take on a very beautiful 

vintage look always. The lady and her child I cut out, placed on 

card stock, cut around that and raised it up with dimension tabs.

The only other things I used for this card were the card stock 

and stampin up ink. I did a little distressing and walla, it was 

all finished.

3D Card - With All Our Love

 

I made this card for my DT work at  Scraptopia (On facebook)

easy to do with I think great results.

Harley's 1st Beach Trip

 

I have done this layout for the March Challenge over at About a Boy.

 http://itsabouttheboys.blogspot.com.au/

For this Challenge I had to use products from my stash that I have had 

for over a year. Ok this wasn't going to be hard. I had a big box with

bits and pieces in it from way back. Lots of it I couldn't even tell you 

how long it had been there. 

What can I tell you...... The photo's were taken by my husband in 

January 2004. The buttons were from spotlight and the kite die was 

purchased a little over a year ago. The stamp I'm not sure when I got

but the chalks I colored it with are over 12 months old and are from

Stampin Up. Everything else is way old lol. It was from the bottom

of the box and I don't even know the product details. I always new I

would use them some day (I horde...I keep everything) and look I was

right. The perfect challenge for a person who can get rid of nothing. 

Movie Inspired CAS Card - Beyond Grey Challenges

 

I love this Challenge at BGC. I think you would find it 

a lot of fun too. Senhal did a good job picking this one.

All you have to do is pick your favorite movie and make 

a  (CAS) clean and simple card based on that movie. As

you can see I have chosen Karate Kid. My boys and I love 

this movie.

 

I have used card stock, Kaiser Craft patterned papers (Technologic)

Rub on letters (Hunter Leisure), Stamping up Ink (Basic Black),

Chalks for coloring  and of the stamp is from La-La-Land (Karate Luka)

 

Pop on over to Beyond Grey Challenges and have

a go at this wonderful Challenge. I would love to 

see what you come up with. Also have a look at 

the other DT girls have done. There designs are 

awesome. Have some fun and good luck.

I have also entered this card in the addicted to CAS
