A Happy Scramper

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.

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.

In Sympathy....

 

Hey there...I hope you've enjoyed the start of your weekend.

Remember I mentioned I was making a couple of sympathy cards for Alicia to sell over at Aussie Cards for Sale...well here is the first one.....took me all day to finish it......to say I was distracted by everything else around me is an understatement....dusty shelves, dirty washing, dog hair, bench crumbs, beds to make, floors to sweep - you name it , it distracted me today. Normally I can put on my blinkers and ignore those things ;-) ....within reason lol......but not today! So my house is sparkling tonight....and I have a new card for ACFS....I've gotta be happy with that:-)

Cardboard: SU! Rose Red and PTI Sweet Blush

Patterned Paper: Basic Grey Out of Print 6x6 paper pad

Stamps: Stampendous Sincere Sentiments

Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa

Embellishments: Crafty Secrets Creative Scraps - Love Mail; seam binding; string; Basic Grey Out of Print Yo Yo Fabric Flower; scallop edge decorative scissors; Kaisercraft Pearls

I am in love with the Crafty Secrets Creative Scraps:-)....soooo pretty!

So after my day of distractedness....tomorrow I plan to immerse myself in some serious papercrafting:-) DH and DS will be fishing, DD has a friend over so it's looking good for some uninterrupted crafty time......bring it on:-)

I'll be back to share more soon....
