A Happy Scramper

More for Manor House

Hey there - how are you?

I hope you've had a great weekend.

We're celebrating DH's birthday here today and have just got back from a gorgeous lunch....

I'm full of barramundi, Moreton Bay bugs, scallops and prawns - oh my - deee-licious!!

But - -  I'm here to share a recent creation for Manor House Creations...

a thank you card:)

This card uses Crate Paper's Fourteen range of papers and the MHC flowers I've used are a Fascinating White (feathery gorgeousness) and a Mayglow Pink.

Such pretty colours :-)

Crate Paper Pretty Party

Hey there - Happy Saturday to you :-)

I've recently had a play for Australian Cardmaking Stamping and Papercraft Magazine with some very sweet Crate Paper goodies - from their Pretty Party range - it's right up my alley with its sweet florals, gingham patterns and pretty colours.

Here are the three cards I created for the feature....

Thanks for popping in - enjoy the rest of the weekend :)

Verve and Crate

Woohooooo.....it's Friday....and school holidays....a doubley wonderful feeling:-))

I've been having a lovely play with some gorgeous new goodies from Shop and Crop....namely the so sweet Crate Paper Farmhouse papers and Random Stand Outs....what's not to love about these sweet country inspired papers and dimensionally eye catching embellies...

Recognise the sketch? It's Verve's September Week 2 Sketch by the amazing Amy Sheffer...

One card with these delish goodies wasn't enough so I played a little more lol....

Tonight I'm going to play with another challenge....or two....I think I'll combine Chupa's Saturday sketch and Mona's CR84FN Colour Challenge....that should give the creative juices a workout:-)

I'll be back to share the result tomorrow....cya:-))

 

CPS#217

Good Saturday morning to you:-) What a beautiful Autumn day it is here in SE Qld too....just makes me happy!

Before I get onto my card, here's a little bit about me today....

 feeling – happy it's the weekend

 enjoying – a leisurely Saturday morning around the house

 

creating – nothing yet but will attack a challenge later in the day:-)

wanting – to make Pumpkin Soup with the Butternut Pumpkin that' s been sitting on my kitchen bench for 2 weeks!

needing – wood for our fire

listening –  to my boys down the back chopping that same wood:-)

thinking – that I'm glad it's them and not me!

wondering – how the Royal Honeymoon is going??

:) So there's a little bit of "random" from me this morning.

Last night I played with the current sketch at Card Positioning Systems #217 which looks like this....

I wanted to use some more of the gorgeous Crate Paper Portrait Collection papers and I let them do all the work on this card...

Cardstock: SU! Black

Patterned Paper: Crate Paper Portrait Collection

Embellishments: CP PC Stickers and lace; Spellbinder Fancy Tags Two;  MFT Butterfly Die; Kaisercraft Rhinestones

Tools: MS Wildflowers Punch Around The Page Set; Cuttlebug

I just love the colours in this paper....it's the teal that does it.....yum yum yum!

Alrighty, better go and attack another load of washing.

I'll be back....
