A Happy Scramper

My Mind's Eye Card Sketch Challenge

Hey there....hope you had a great weekend:-)

DD is not well here so we are dosing her up and hoping that the rest of us can avoid the dreaded lurgy.

Just a quick pop in tonight to share my card for the latest My Mind's Eye Card Challenge #25.

Here's the sketch.....

As long as you use 80% MME product and a Celebrate theme you're all good. 

So I decided to play with my Hattie paper pad and a Kaisercraft birthday stamp and here's my card....

I just love the sweet Melissa Frances resin frames:-)

Well that's all from me tonight...I'm off to link this up and hit the hay....thanks for popping in!

Mojo Monday and Colour Q Challenges

 
Hey there - here I am back again for my second post of the day.

This time I've played with the latest Mojo Monday Sketch which looks like this...

 
I combined the sketch with the colours of this week's Colour Q challenge .....here they are.....

 
What a sweet combination of fresh colours...here's my card .......

 
I really wish I had some Bermuda Bay....such a gorgeous colour....but Tempting Turquoise was as close as I could get. Patterned papers are all from the 6x6 MME Stella and Rose Gertie paper pad and the stamps are Kaisercraft....as is the grosgrain ribbon.

You will see a few more thank you cards over the coming weeks as I fulfill an order for a friend of mine.....she wants 10 Thank You cards....that's 3 down, 7 to go:-)

Alrighty time for some blog surfing before I sink my scissors into another weekly challenge. Thanks for dropping by and sharing some of your day with me!

See you soon.

January Card Kit

 

Hey there...I hope you've had a great week!

While I work away happily on the February Card kit for Shop and Crop, thought I'd drop in and remind you about the beautiful January Card Kit featuring the gorgeous Kaisercraft English Rose products. Not only do you get all the goodies to make 8 cards (at least) you also receive my instructions for how to make these 4....

 

 

 

 
I thoroughly enjoyed playing with these sweet Kaisercraft goodies....they are just beautiful.

I have LOTS to share over the coming days so I'll probably be back with another post tomorrow.

Have a lovely Friday night!

English Rose

 
Hey there....how's your week going so far?

I am popping in to share a couple of recent cards I created for Shop and Crop....playing with the pretty, flowery English Rose collection from Kaisercraft.....full of beautiful old world charm.

 

 
Kaisercraft 6x6 paper pads are awesome things....have you used them? They have pages of die-cut elements in them like this sweet scalloped edge you see above and make card making soooo easy.

I have lots to share over the coming week from recent DT work so I'll be popping in regularly....I won't hang around for long but I'll leave you with some papercrafting eye candy at least....much more interesting than me blabbing on anyway:-)

See you soon....

Verve Week 1 November

 
Hey there.....how's your weekend shaping up so far?

It's a sunny yet rainy day here in SE Qld today....a little bit of both.

I've had a play last night with the first Verve Sketch for this month....which looks like this...

 
We had to choose an inspiration pic to go with it...here's mine....

 
So I tried to get the red onto my card and that sweet country feel iykwim....

 

Cardstock:  Chocolate Chip

Patterned Paper:  October Afternoon Thrift Shop

Stamps:  Kaisercraft Mini Clears

Ink:  SU! Ruby Red

Embellishments: Martha Stewart Brown Seam Binding; Prima Flower; Kaisercraft Red Rhinestones

Tools: Decorative edge scissors; Fiskars Diamond Edge Border punch

 
It's so much fun playing with sweet papercrafting supplies isn't it:-)))))) Makes me so happy!

I'll be getting even more crafting time this coming fortnight as I recuperate from my Gall Bladder surgery.....yep that's what I have to look forward to on Wednesday. I've tried to fight the little blighters (Gallstones that is) for 2 months seeing a Naturopath and thinking I was making some progress until 2 nasty attacks got the better of me this week and saw me head off to the surgeon and book in for surgery asap. Gotta get my life back and stop living in limbo I tell ya!

So hopefully for you guys that means more blog posts with more creativity to be seen....that's the plan anyway;-)

Thanks for your visit today....enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Cheers!
