A Happy Scramper

Good-Bye June!

Wow another month bites the dust....amazing!

Thought I'd pop in and share a few bits and pieces to end the month and welcome in July.

First of all...very excited to see this.....2 weeks in a row....woohoo:-)))

Also here are a couple of cards published in the latest Australian Card Making, Stamping and Papercraft Mag.....

  

 

 

These are a couple of cards I created in my DT position for Scrap Pile ....way back in January when I first started my 6 months DT possie....can't believe that time has now come to an end. I've had heaps of fun designing for the lovely ladies who frequent the Scrap Pile forum....they have all been so encouraging and friendly...thank you girls:-))

Here in QLD we are now enjoying 2 weeks school holidays and it has so far been just wonderful slowing down and relaxing.....DH and I spent the weekend  here and it was just WONDERFUL....

 .....can't wait to do it again next anniversary:-))

Okay, time to run....be back in a day or so....thanks for visiting!

Card Patterns Sketch 20

Hey there....hope you've had a lovely day.

I have! Went shopping with my DD and we both picked up some lovely things....a bit of retail therapy works wonders doesn't it:-)

Another Card Patterns card to show you tonight.....I am loving their sketches. Here's the sketch and my card...

 

 

The PP's are Rouge deGarance Sweet Dreams and the cardstock is SU! The Swirl is an Inque Boutique Stamp and the corner pieces were cut with Cuttlebug Dies. The ribbon (which matches quite nicely IRL) I received in a swap so can't identify the brand unfortunately.

Hope you have a lovely Thursday. I'll be back again soon to show you that other Shabby Chic card I had fun with.

Bye for now....

Shabby Chic

Hey there...how are you today?

I have a card to show you today that I REALLY enjoyed making...just one of those times when I felt it all worked. Probably because I gained a lot of inspiration from this gorgeous girl whose work always amazes and encourages me:-)

 

I just love Shabby Chic.....so feminine, pretty and delicate.  The spotted PP is Kaiser, the rose bud and darker red PP's from Melissa Francis, leaf from Prima and chippy flower from SU!'s On Board Batch of Blooms. I enjoyed making this card so much I started another one the next night so I'll be back to show you that in a day or two.

Happy Wednesday folks and thanks for visiting:-)))

Oooohhhh....look at this....so excited to have been chosen as one of the top 5 for this week:-)))....and check out the winning card....oh my gosh....it is STUNNING!

Cardmaking for any Occasion

....is the latest mag out for Australian Cardmaking, Stamping and Papercraft.....

and I'm lucky enough to have 4 cards in this issue:-))

Here's two of them....

 

....love this SU! Big On Spring set.

So, have you got plans for the weekend? I'm off to a Cancer Fundraising morning tea today and then we have BIL and SIL coming for lunch tomorrow.....should be a lovely weekend I think:-)

Hope yours is too. Thanks for visiting to see what I've been up to.

Card Patterns Card

Hey there....hope you've had a lovely weekend.

I've had a lovely play this afternoon with the gorgeous Bella Vintage Beauty range including pp's and journalling cards. I chose them in my Scrap pile DT kit this month and they are so beautiful to work with...yum, yum, yummmmmmm!

This card came together easily using the Card Patterns sketch  for this week.....

 

 

 

I'll see you again in a day or two:-)

Prima-Mommy and Me Range

Hey there...how are you today?

I've had a very full on week with work so not as much creative time unfortunately. I hope to enjoy some tonight though...yippee!

I've got a couple of cards from last weekend to show you though....using the oh-so-cute Prima Mommy and Me range.....I chose the PP's and Rub-Ons in my DT pack from Scrap Pile this month and they are so much fun:-)

 

I designed this card using a Page Maps sketch.....it came together so easily that way:)

The next one was just a play with the different rub-ons to make a cute little scene...

 

I hope you're enjoying your weekend whatever you're up to.

I'll be back again in a couple of days...thanks for visiting:-)

Card Patterns sketch

Long weekends are the best aren't they:-))))

Hope you're having a great start to the week whatever you're up to. I've had some wonderful creative time this weekend and have made a few happy cards. One to show you today is for the Card Patterns Sketch challenge....I find that I love sketch challenges much more than colour challenges....a sketch to me is so much easier to bounce off and the creativity flows whereas a colour challenge can have me stumped for ages.

Anyway here's my card.....

 

Lots of Basic Grey here -  Bittersweet PP and Porcelain Chipboard Oval Frame; Maya Road Office Sheer; Making Memories Glittered Heart; SU! Regal Rose Ribbon and Orchid Dew Drops. This was so much fun to put together:-))

I'll be back again soon to share another card.....thanks for visiting and for your lovely comments.

Scrap Pile Card

Hey there...how is your Wednesday going?

Just popping in to quickly share the card I put up at Scrap Pile today. Played with some totally different papers today...not the sort of thing I'm normally drawn to but with a few "boy" birthdays coming up I thought these bright birthday papers would do the trick.....here's my card.

  

The papers are Bo Bunny It's My Party line.

Pretty hectic around here at the moment with lots of school stuff keeping me busy....cutting drastically into my creative time unfortunately. Looking forward to more creative time on the weekend I hope.

See you then...
