I’ve seen alot of 3×3 cards lately, one sketch challenge over at SplitcoastStampers, and another on AmyR’s blog, so I decided to give on a go too.  Are they small or what???!!  AmyR showed how she mounted her card onto a normal sized card base, so that’s what I’ve done with this card [photopress:IMG_2683.JPG,full,pp_empty] [photopress:IMG_2684.JPG,full,pp_empty]…

Copy and Share Everything And that’s what I’ve done this week.  I’ve got so much on at the moment that sometimes it’s easier to base cards on what others have done 🙂 [photopress:IMG_2682.JPG,full,pp_empty] This card was on a blog I read daily, AmyR (blog owner) received a heap of cards and one similar to this…

that when you find a layout that works you tend to flog it to death?  I do. 🙂 The two cards here are the same but with a slightly different colour scheme, and different stamp.  Nice quick and easy cards.

I havent attended a cyberstamp for some time now, and it was great to do one again.  This one was held over at www.thescrappersstash.com.au  There were 4 challenges set and I’ve managed to complete 3 so far. Challenge 2 was to make a card using a Triad colour scheme which is basically picking 3 colours at…

Okay, I have to admit, I did case this one.  I cant remember where I saw it, but I loved it.

Gee this set is great to colour with crayons. Just a bit of playing around, nothing too flash. [photopress:IMG_2657.JPG,full,pp_empty] I’ve used the colour coach on this one.  The colours are Not Quiet Navy, Creamy Caramel and Bashful Blue.  I’ve also used the Itty Bitty Background set, and the Print Backbround Stamp.  Where the diamonds meet…

I have a new set of Stampin’ Up! Markers to play with now  :). The following card is actually from a sketch challenge.  I’ve used the colour wheel to select colours again.  That wheel is soooo handy, it takes all the guess work out. I’ve used the markers directly on the rubber, then huffed on…

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…

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!

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!
