I’ve been feeling a bit despondant for the last week or so about the standard of my cards. I think I’ve been looking at too many other blogs where the cards are AMAZING! So I’ve felt the need to get back to what I love doing and that is colouring in. 🙂 I would so love… Read More
Goodies in the mail!! I’ve been asked to take part in a Stampers Challenge for Stamping and Papercraft. This is the first time I’ve done this, so I’m a little scared, but alot excited. Just looking at the stamps now, I can see all sorts of possibilites. Best get cracking!
I did this layout last week, finally getting it on here. I used the colour wheel to select my colours this time. I’ve used a sketch from another layout that I saw, but have changed the embellishements.

We have a group name. The Artful Stampers! I have some more cards and a layout to post up, but it may have to be tomorrow, i’m pooped today. We’ve had 33 degrees with a northerly wind, not noice!

Yay! I’m organised early this week for Linc’n’Learn. Normally on a Tuesday nite while the kids are in the bath, I’m madly trying to make some cards for my group. It does feel good to have them made already. Now I just need to get myself organised for Wednesday nites Demo that I’m doing. I… Read More
I thought I’d try something different for this week. It’s the Rock n Roll technique, stamp in a one colour and then ‘roll’ the edges of the stamp in another colour. Bold stamps work best, and it can give a really good effect. Cards are made using Ballet Blue, Bravo Burgundy and Old Olive Cardstock. Ballet… Read More

The following cards were my offerings for Linc’n’Learn this week. Just something a little fun and a bit corny. The Stamp Sets used for the main images are from the Hostess Level 3 set Furnished with Love. The first card uses Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa and Cameo Coral Cardstock and Inkpads. I’ve sponged Cameo Coral… Read More
I’ve managed to do another Layout this week. I’m a bit pooped, as I cut the green cardstock too short for my liking, and hadn’t taken anymore with me, and being me, I just wanted to get another layout finished. I’ve used Rose Red, Old Olive and Chocolate Chip Cardstock, with their matching inkpads. The… Read More
DS 5 is going to a birthday party today, woohoo!! It’s his first party, with a friend that HE made, and it’s a girl. And what’s more, he is going to marry her! So I was thinking that I’d best make a card for her, but realised that I have no stamps that are children… Read More
The ladies had a great time today (well I hope they did!), so while they made their cards, I made another scrapbook layout. The size is 6×6, using all the same products at the cards below. I’ve used white ribbon but have run it over my inkpad to colour it, a bit messy, but it… Read More

The lighting is a bit dodgy, will try to take some more in the daylight. Materials for all cards: Cardstock: Whisper White, Orchid… Read More
