Mothers Day Card

 

 

I made this card for my beautiful mother. My mum is a very

beautiful person and the back bone to my family. As sick as 

she is, she rarely misses a day coming to our home.  If she 

can't come the phone will ring.

My Mum..... She has a beautiful heart. She never speaks ill of

people and can find an excuse for anyone's bad behavior. She 

likes everything simple. Never dresses fancy, no makeup, no

bling just a wedding ring. No mess, no flowers in the house 

(they make her sick) but in the garden is great. The biggest thing

of all is she loves Riley, Harley and me unconditionally. She 

picks us up when we fall, cuddles us when we cry, laughs with us,

and always tells us she loves us even when mad with us. 

SHE'S MY MUM

When I made this card I knew straight away it had to be simple.

I knew she would love that. She loves the crops of sunflowers in

the district if anyone has them in when we go anywhere. 

 

This is just what we wanted her to do......take a seat.

Did she.....as much as we could make her. She says she sits enough

and sleeps enough on her bad days. Mothers Day was a good day.

 

 

First DT Post for SCRAPBOOKIT

 

Wow this LO was so much fun. It has been done for the sketch

challenge at Scrapbookit and my first post in my new position.

All the products I have used come from Jo's Scrapbookit on 

line store. http://www.scrapbookit.com.au/  Jo has a huge range 

of products just like these ones and this layout and many more. 

Way too many for her on line store..... so if you want something 

and don't see it just ask her. You will be surprised I'm sure by 

the answer she gives you. Everything I have asked for she has had.

  

This is the Sketch LO so please pop onto the blog. Check out

the couple of extra requirements and join in. Leave a comment

and follow Jo's blog just like you do mine. Let us girls know you

have been because we would love to hear from you.

Guest Design Position

 

This is the LO I submitted for my position as Guest Designer for 

About A Boy Scrapbook Challenge.  

They have awesome boy challenges and as you can see my boys 

are that.....Boys all the way lol. The water smelt, not only did the 

mud make them black but so did the water. They loved it though. 

 

 

With these close ups you will be able to see by Harley's  bright

orange shirt what the water was like. They didn't care though. 

They had a ball and I must admit it was fun to watch them. All

of it was fun till they had to be showed and we were no longer 

in the open and could smell the truth behind the fun.

 

Oh and yes not forgetting the gum boots. They were nice and full

and many a time they would go splat down because the had their 

feet bogged in the mud. The socks found the bin. A mum has to 

draw a line some times.

BUT.....Boys Will Be Boys.....LOL

Ladies of the Manor Retreat

 

 My beautiful friend Karen Shady (from across a couple 

of paddocks lol)  and the lovely Stacey Apps are going

to be having a wonderful retreat in October. 

I can assure you it will be a time to remember. I know 

their passion and love of scrap booking and it will make

for the perfect retreat. 

Karen was my inspiration for my scrap booking and got me

started on the path I'm on. She is on some very amazing design

teams and Manor House flowers adorn her work. 

 Put these two awesome women together along with the other

talent they will have there and you will go away from the retreat

wishing it didn't have to end.  

Happy Birthday

 

I made this card for my DT position and Beyond Grey Challenges.

The challenge for this month for your project is to use the colors

from a photo of watermelon and mango. 

 

I have used card stock, Creative memories patterned paper and 

sticker tag, American Crafts layered paper flowers and Kaiser

wooden flourish hearts which I colored with copic pen RV34.

The same color was used on the chippy bird from craft works 

and on the cage I used Y17. The other tings I used were my 

Martha Stewart Punch and red 3D puffy paint.

Number Cards

 

 I love doing these cards. They are nice to do for a change while 

watching TV with the boys. These 3D Birthday cards you can 

get from Scraptopia on facebook (who I design for). Kylie has a

huge range to choose from.

It is as simple as a cutting knife, dimension tabs and card stock.

Wella.....You end up with beautiful cards like these. There is also

nothing stopping you from adding some extra bling if you want.
