More cards.......

I have been playing with scraps and making more cards as well as some more of the online card classes lessons.
 
This is using scraps from my "Having Fun" layout a few weeks ago and made with the mini version of the sketch MWS13-13, The image is a digi stamp Lil Steampunk Luca which can be purchased here. I have printed it on thick watercolour paper and coloured it with Derwent Watercolour pencils.


Online Card classes - His & Hers Sympathy cards  day 3 inspired by Kristina Werner.


 
Online Card classes - His & Hers cards day 4 inspired by Kelly Rasmussen. I really liked her colour pallette and design although I hated the fact that the original card design did not stand up. Just one of my pet hates.... what is the point of having a card if you can't stand it up on the mantel piece to show it off. I kept the overally design concept but jut converted it to a full front of the card instead of a smaller front opening panel.

Another card made with scraps from the matching layout and the MWS5-13 I used the highlighter technique that I learnt from the Craftstamper magazine and a stamp from the Urban stamps - Botanical Print set by Papermania.
Last but not least is a card made from some scraps of a layout I did using 6 x 6 collections paper of Paris. I even got ambitious and made the ribbon flower which I actually quite like and it wasn't difficult which is always a good thing.

Take care and happy craftin'...........

Gosh Christmas is creeping up fast

I'm not real good at this blogging stuff, am I? I have really neglected it lately. We spent a lovely ten days in Cairns in the beginning of November which I am sure you will see in the layouts that I will be creating over the coming months and indeed in the last couple of Cybercrops. We stayed at Holloways Beach which is approx 10kms north of Cairns city and the beach is not like our South Aussie beaches where we have the soft hard packed sand, it was grainy and moved a lot under foot. In Cairns itself you cannot swim at the beach as the city has a more swampy beachfront which is muddy and tacky with lots of crabs. At this time of the year also, the waters are full of stingers so it is dangerous to swim in the sea unless in an enclosed netted off area for protection. Holloways beach had a small area to do this and the boys liked it but the current was strong and wavy and no sooner would they stand up than wave would come and dump them under again. It became a little much for them a...

It's been a busy couple of months......

I know I always seem to say that but it really is true as our family is on the move to Western Australia. Only one more week in our house then another week before we arrive at our new home. Crazy, crazy time. The boys have had their school concert this week and Ethan's class performed an adjusted Wakakirri routine to fit to the size of the stage they had to work on. Ethan did a great job. Mitchell and Keelan's classes worked together on their songs. Keelan out the front with the dancing and actions and Mitchell at the stage side playing the large bongo style drums. The concert was a great success and all the kids tried really hard to please their parents. It's always exciting to see the little Reception students giving it a go even when some of them have only been at school for a few weeks. The school band played before the event and I took the opportunity to take some pics of the boys as I realised that I have never really taken photos of them playing with the band before....

Cybercropping.... come join me!

You know with all this hot weather I have a house full of unwanted insects and it is driving me insane! I know it is a little revolting but I just had to share this image of the fly that I sprayed the other night. I had to put it next to a normal fly to show you the difference..... no joke, this fly was 4 times the size of a regular fly and about an inch long. It was giving me the shudders just to have it flying around me. Well after that awful thought, onto some sharing. Last weekend I managed to sneak in a couple of the challenges at Scrap of Difference Cybercrop. They had some great challenges but with all the stuff going on in my weekend last week I just didn't find enough time to play with them all. This is a card I made for Rochelle's challenge - to make a card using white, pink and green. I needed the sympathy card to send to my wonderful friend Cathy from the ACT whose Father passed away just before we went to Mildura. My thoughts and prayers are with Cathy and her fam...
