Manor House Creations Sympathy Card

I am popping in tonight to share another card for Manor House Creations this time using one of the bee-utiful Chocolate Prior Rose flowers and some sweet Cutie Pies....

...the Prior Roses have such a great texture to them!

...and these little Cutie Pies are so darn cute - very aptly named:-))

The focal point is a Crafty Secrets piece and the sentiment is from Stampendous.

Love those MHC leaves too....I've shabbied mine up a little with cream paint.

Thanks for visiting me today....I'll be back with more to share again soon.

A Manor House Creation

Look at those gorgeous Manor House Creations Sugar and Spice flowers - yummmmy!

I had a delightful time playing with them and the fab MHC leaves to create this card.....

They are so soft and fluffy - really pretty IRL:-) Love the Crafty Secret focal point too and the MME papers.

Before I chuff off tonight - here are my last few photos for the January Photo challenge if you're interested......

Jan 3 was something I adore....well after my DH and kids it's these 2 rascals!

Jan 4 - our mailbox...complete with graffiti I've not noticed before...

Hope you have a GREAT Friday....thanks for the visit....see you again soon.....

CASE Study Signature Style Challenge

Well - big day here enjoying all the action of.....

....a Netball Carnival.

Always lovely to see them all out there, winning some and of course losing some too.

Unfortunately then you come home and try to catch up on the piles of washing that need to be brought in and folded...all the Mums out there know exactly what I'm talking about *eye roll*

Anyway, washing's all organised so here I am to share a card I created last night for Iwona's current CASE Study Challenge.

What a fab challenge it is too...hardly a challenge really cause you get to create with your "Signature Style"....what could be better than playing with all the goodies you love most:-))

For me that would mean soft colours/a Crafty Secret scrap/flowers/distressed edges/inking/the Doily Lace Punch/some real lace and pearls........in my book YUM YUM YUM :-)) Here's my card....

I hope you've had a lovely weekend and a chance to recharge your batteries ready for another busy week. I'm struggling with the fact that in a few days it's the first of September...oh my lord...the year is flying!!

Thanks for dropping by to check out my little corner of blogland...see you again soon.

Scrapbook Boutique August Challenge

Hey there....I hope your week has so far been a good one...TGIF tomorrow hey:-))

Not to mention it's a long weekend for those of us lucky enough to get the RNA Show Holiday...wooohoooo!

I played last night with some favourite papers and colours to make a card for this month's Scrapbook Boutique Challenge. My crafty friend Therese has just joined the SB Design Team which is very lucky for them....she is an awesome papercrafter.....CAS mostly.....don't know how she does it but she sure does it with style:-)

Their challenge for this month is to be inspired by this sweet piccie and use ribbons and/or bows...

Well that's hardly a challenge at all really is it....I think I have a ribbon and/or bow on every card I make lol. Just can't help myself!

Here 'tis....

Sentiment piece is a Crafty Secrets Creative Scrap with a Stampendous sentiment. Papers are from Prima's Annalee Paper Pad and Crate Paper's Portrait Collection.

I hope you have a fantastic Friday and an equally good weekend.

We have a busy one in store with another Fete to work at and a Uni Open Day to check out so not sure I'll get back on here....we'll see!

Thanks for popping in....

Butterfly Sympathy Card

Hey there...I hope you had a good weekend! 

It was a busy one here...lunch with friends yesterday and then up to the Sunshine Coast today for a family catch up for my Dad's birthday. Here's a few pics....

Tucking into lunch at Mum and Dads....

Two cousins.....my boy and my sister's boy.....we noticed they have the same thick, dark eyebrows....and then they were standing the same so we couldn't resist the picture lol.

This is where the eyebrows come from.....my Dad....

The Birthday Boy......just turned 75.

So before I continue working on a card I started last night, thought I'd share another Sympathy card I made recently to sell over at Aussie Cards for Sale. ACFS has a prize up for grabs this month for everyone who buys a card.....you go in the draw to win this lovely pack of goodies....

 Yum yum!!

 

Here's just one of the cards for sale from the site......

Papers are from Pink Paislee's Butterfly Garden paper pack, as is the Butterfly, the sentiment is from Stampendous, stamped on a Crafty Secrets Love Mail Creative Scrap....I LOOOOOVE them:-))

So, a new week begins.....I hope you have a great one!

I'll be back to share more soon.
