  • Exciting News

    I just wanted to make sure it was all definate on my reports before I announced this, well actually I wasnt going to announce it but after fellow demonstrator Sharon, said I was mad not too……  here goes I’m very happy to announce that I’ve just become Australia’s first demonstrator to reach Executive Level  🙂…

  • Watercolouring

    The card below was inspired by StamperSharon from SCS.  I think Sharon coloured hers with a different medium to mine, but I’ve used the Watercolour Wonder Crayons, which also happens to be part of the July Promotion for this month. [photopress:IMG_3197.JPG,full,pp_empty] The colours are mainly Always Artichoke, Bravo Burgundy and papers from the Recollections range. …

  • Lovely as a Tree

    Yay!! New Rubba to play with.  I’ve been looking for something more masculine now that I’ve parted with Balmy Breezes *sob*.  I’d seen lots of stunning cards made with Lovely as a Tree, so it was time to lash out (and YES Marelle I bought them!  😉  ) [photopress:IMG_3180.JPG,full,pp_empty] This first one is a CASE,…

  • More Blossoms Abound

    Another card inspired by Michelle Laycock.  Still cant quite get her look, but I try! [photopress:IMG_3177.JPG,full,pp_empty] Colours are Mellow Moss, Perfect Plum, Elegant Eggplant and Chocolate Chip.  I’ve done some ‘thumping’ on the top layer of the blossoms.  I inked up in Perfect Plum and then thumped (like drumming) an Elegant Eggplant marker ontop, and…

  • Blossoms Abound

    This is one of two cards that were inspired by Michelle Laycock (a US demonstrator)  I cannot for the life of me work out how she got her card looking so great, but I tried. LOL [photopress:IMG_3174.JPG,full,pp_empty] The colours are Rose Red, Regal Rose, Mellow Moss, Chocolate Chip, Sarahra Sand and Whisper White.  Silly me…

  • Bodacious Bouquet

    Another card inspired from another wonderful artist.  We did this one at Linc n Learn, our local craft gathering. [photopress:IMG_3173.JPG,full,pp_empty] Colours are Certainly Celery, Old Olive and Vintage Violet.  All flowers are raised with dimensionals.  This one kept the ladies busy. LOL

  • Be Happy

    I’ve been very slack in photographing my cards, so in the next couple of days, i’ll have a few to upload 🙂 This first one has been cased so many times, so I thought I would too! [photopress:IMG_3176.JPG,full,pp_empty] Very simple on materials, just Whisper White and Cranberry Crisp.  The background layer has been run through…

  • Stamps on Ebay

    I’ve made a ruthless business decision and have listed all my stamp sets that are now retired *GULP*  Some of them my favourites. I’ve also got the Ageless Adornment set up for grabs, I had cards published in S&P (polished stone) using this set.  This set isn’t available from Australia, and is now retired in…

  • Artfully Asian

    Okay, this card didnt really turn out the way I had envisioned it to.  Is that spelling right?  ANYWAY, I dont mind how it turned out, but will have to have another go at getting it the way I wanted. [photopress:IMG_3158.JPG,full,pp_empty] The colours were from the Elite Challenges second colour challenge.  They were Chocolate Chip,…

  • Bodacious Bouquet

    This stamp set arrived at my house yesterday morning, so what better stamp set to teach an embossing workshop than with Bodacious Bouquet. [photopress:IMG_3157.JPG,full,pp_empty] To be able to emboss dye ink, I’ve first stamped in Versamark, then into the dye inkpad.  This is the first time I’ve done it and I was happy with the…

  • Be Happy

    This card is based on another I’ve seen (I’m sorry I’ve forgotten where) I’ve changed the colours and embellishments. [photopress:IMG_3134.JPG,full,pp_empty] The colours are Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose and Taken with Teal.  The orginal card had a button stitched onto the flower, but as I dont have any I’ve stamped a solid circle and then…

  • Sassy Stems

    This card was inspired by Trudee Sauer.  I’m back to teaching full cards at Linc n Learn so there will probably be a reasonable amount of inspired based cards on here, sometimes it’s just too much to create on your own. [photopress:IMG_3135.JPG,full,pp_empty] The colours are Cranberry Crisp, Mellow Moss and Not Quite Navy.  The brads are…

  • Convention 2007

    Wow, what an absolute blast it was.  I was amazing to finally meet all the wonderful people I’ve known online for the past couple of years.  I loved every single one of you. And now a HUGE thank you to everyone for their support over the last year.  I was lucky enough to be up…
