About Me

Welcome to my blog

I started this blog in April 2012 so I could join Challenges. I am now on some design teams. I hope you like my cards. I started stamping in 1995 but my cards are still mostly cute.
Thank you to those who have joined as followers and to those who comment.
Unfortunately because of spammers I have had to put moderation on the comments. I will approve them as soon as possible, this also means I don't miss any.
I don't always get a chance to reply to all comments but I read them all when I approve them and I really appreciate you taking the time to give your comment.
The lovely banner was made especially for me by Amanda at Faery Ink Art & Design when I won her first blog challenge. 2025 - Now due to my sore hands and bad eyes I make mostly digital cards and scrapbook pages.

My card for Sunny Challenges SC 44/12

This is my card for Sunny Challenges this week SC 44/12
http://sunnychallenges.blogspot.com.au/

We had to do a fancy fold and were given suggestions.  I picked the "joy fold" card.  This is the first one I have made.  I found the instructions on Split Coast Stampers.  I have used Stampin Up papers and only one stamp which is unusual for me as most of my cards are stamped and often use cuttlebug.

My card was in the top 4 for Feeling Sketchy No 10

I was thrilled to find out my card for Feeling Sketchy challenge No 10 was picked for the top 4.  I am enjoying doing the challenges as they are giving me new ideas for my cards

My card for Feeling Sketchy Week 11 June 11 2012

This is my card for the sketch challenge on Feeling Sketchy http://feeling-sketchy.blogspot.com.au/

This was the sketch challenge, we could substitute something else for the heart.
I used Alison Ellis paper for the triangle, to look like the wallpaper in a room and Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp set "Lucy" sitting on the floor reading.  I had two attempts at this card as the first time I cut the triangle the wrong way.  Coloured with Tria markers.

I notice that some people use one card for many challenges.  I like to make a separate card for each challenge.  I then use them for birthday cards during the week.

It is still teaming rain.  It hasn't stopped all day.

My card for Lollipop Ladies challenge No 47 - Jelly babies & ribbon

This is my card for the Lollipop Ladies challenge No 47
http://thelollipopladies.blogspot.com.au/
The challenge was jelly babies with the additional challenge of ribbon

I have used all the colours green, yellow, orange, red and blue and cupcake ribbon.  Stamp is La La Land Sugar n' Spice Marci.  Verse is StampinUp stamp.  Blue card embossed with Craft Concepts Embossing folder Cupcakes

Spent this morning cleaning the bathroom.  This afternoon cleaned up my craft desk.   Did some distress stain backgrounds for an ATC swap and then made my card.

Sarah is making a cake to take to school tomorrow.  She volunteered to take a cake for Parent Teacher interviews tomorrow night.  Unfortunately I can't go as I don't have any transport as Tony will be at work and Lynda has to take Sian to dancing.  I have let them know.

Friday was a sunny day but it has been pouring rain here all day yesterday and today.

My card for Sunny Challenges Week 43 June 2012

Here is my card for Sunny Challenges Week 43
http://sunnychallenges.blogspot.com.au/


The sketch below with the proviso that we use the Ocean Commotion stamp set.  I don't have that stamp set so have used the fish from Stampin Up fishy friends stamp set.   Stamped with versamark and then coloured with chalks.  (Doesn't come up well in the scan)    Used fishy ribbon on Cuttlebug Divine Swirls.  Clouds sponged with tumbled glass and faded jeans distress ink.

This is the sketch.


Have just finished making the card.  Took me a while.  I am a bit slow, my arthritis is worse in this cold weather.  It was 6 degrees when we left home this morning.
Spent early this morning at the dentist and then the chiropractor.   Unfortunately have broken another tooth so have to have another crown plus a filling over the next couple months.  More expense I can't afford, but things could be worse.   Have a good week everyone.
