I'm Back

Hi Everyone,

Yes I know it has been way too long since I have done any posting so I am going to try and be a bit more regular.

 To start off this return to my blog I would like to tell you of the wonderful day I had on Saturday at Stampin'  Up's Heartfelt day. I went as a guest of my friend Claire Day who is a Stampin' Up demonstrator. We had lots of fun getting our hands on the product tables to have a go at the new stuff coming out on September 1st. There were demonstration as well and the 3D flowers were great as was the card with the new glitter paper. We got make and takes as well. But I think my favourite thing of the day was the classes. We had 4 classes Decorations, Cards, Packing and wrapping paper and handmade gifts so many great ideas and the presenters were absolutely fabulous.

Here are a few shots from the day of inspiration: All are done by the lovely ladies at Stampin' Up

Christmas place mat and coaster

These were great cards just and example of the many that were shared with us on the day.

It was really a lovely way to spend the day if you would like to go in Brisbane, Perth or Sydney check out Claire Daly's blog and you will find some details there. There was so much inspiration I just wouldn't be able to put it all up here.


Now for a something from me that I have done this year that just hasn't gone up yet.

These next couple of things I did for Scrapbooking Top 50 Australia

This card was one that we had to do for the cyber crop and we had to have a playing card on it. I quite like how this one turned out.

For this next page I had to use primary colours large lettering and some bling. I decided to do something a little different for this one and it turned out ok.

Well I will be back again soon with some more fun stuff hope you are all well and that you have fun being crafty!

Scrapbook Fun

Hi Everyone it is time for another Cyber Crop over at Scrapbooking Top 50 Australia. Hope to see you tonight it is so much fun.

Here are the pages I did for last Months Crop it was great to get back into it again after being away so long.

In this challenge we had to  choose a genre. It was all about books. We had to choose from Thriller, Romance, Drama and Action along with a few other things like some fabric on the page. I chose "DRAMA"

This was our dictionary definition challenge so I had 2 words Dinosaur and Hunter. We had to use the definitions on the page. I really enjoyed this one and loved how it turned out. The leaves I cut our on my craft robo or silhouette.  

This was choose our own adventure challenge and I chose and Action adventure. We also had to have some newsprint or book print on the page. I was really glad that I found some card stock that matched Sarah's top she was wearing.

This one we had to alter a title of a book. I really liked these photos so I searched high and low to find a title that I could use. I found a book titled "The World's most beautiful seashells" I knew I could work with that. Besides just look at the beautiful children.

It was lots of fun so I am hoping to do it again tonight so come along and join me. P.S all the papers that I used were from Stampin' Up from my good friend Claire Daly.

Thanks for looking see you again soon. I am going to try and keep this up a bit better this year.

A Christmas Card and a little bit more

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for dropping by. I just wanted to share with you a couple of things that I have been working on for Christmas. Plus soon I will have another couple of cards to share with you.

This lovely card is designed by Claire Daly. Claire had put together a Christmas card Kit which is just great to have when you are busy but love to make Christmas cards. This is one of them and I will have another to show you of Claire's another day

The Following is a photo of my Son going to his year 10 formal and believe it or not we had to go along as well. Next year he doesn't have to take his parents.  Doesn't he look Handsome. Can't believe it is the end of year 10 already.

Bye for now

Thanks for taking the time to look

Lovelybug Bits n Bobs GIVEAWAY and Christmas in July

Hi Everyone,

 just wanted to say hello and let you know about a couple of things happening.

Bellow you will find a link to lovely Sue's goodies that she makes and sells and this week she is giving away a prize as she has reached 100 likes on Facebook for Lovelybug Bits n Bobs. Go to the link to have a look they are really great and post a comment to have a chance at winning a prize packet. You have until Friday so hurry, you do not want to miss out on the chance.

Now for something that I have been up to. For my Girlfriends night at Church in July I made Christmas Crackers with the paper hats and the bad jokes but not the bad toy I went with the Mentos instead.

Anyway I found a pattern to download for the craker so that I could cut it on my Craft Robo ( if you have a newer versions in Australia it is probably called the Silhouette)  from this lovley place Crafts by Carolyn check her out for the pattern.

I used some great Hunter Green card stock that had been given to me and I then stamped first in Versa Mark and then in craft white from Stampin' Up in the Snow Flake from the set Snow Swirled from Stampin' Up.  I then filled them all up and tied them off with some red velvet Ribbon I had been given so that was great. I used my Nestabilities to cut out the labels on the front of the cracker.

We had a fun night out to dinner and the bad jokes were a big hit. LOL!

Anyway at the moment I am working on some Christmas Cards and also some hand made flower embellishments for the August swap at Scrapbooking Top 50 Australia. I hope to post them by the end of the week so you can have a look at them.

Hope you are all having a good week and I will see you again soon.
