Georgia and Izzy stayed on Friday night, before I had even finished breakfast on Saturday, Georgia was busily organising Izzy to help her make mother;s day cards.. Georgia loves my craft room, especially sitting up at the desk and fossicking in the box of goodies that I have especially for my grandchildren's use.. She is really good now at choosing a few nice items for her cards. These were only two of a number she made! I bet your mummy loved the way you designed those lovely cards Georgia.
Well.. still NO CAMERA but I managed to get the batteries to stay in the other camera we have in the house, the reason I bought a new one because the cover kept coming open on this one and the batteries would fall out.
Been having blog withdrawals.. so figured it was time to act...
These are some cards I made ready for Christmas..
I have also been working on Kim Archer's online class.. www.kimarcher.com.au great Christmas ideas..thanks Mel for suggesting I should join - I am really enjoying it and looking forward to the next 11 days.
I made this card for mum's birthday, it was fun to do.. used my new Fiskars scalloped-edged cutter..And the sweet little happy birthday was in the tin of goodies that my swap partner Sonia sent me. I just decorated it with some gold leaf and gold ink pad smearing.. I am full up with food - we had lunch out with my mum and my step-dad, lovely eating.. and lots of dessert!
Following Melissa's dare set for Daring Card Makers make a birthday card. I've made a card for Oscar's 4th birthday which is tomorrow (26 August)
The midweek challenge is to make a card which has a number on it. How timely as Izzy will be one next Thursday. I used some diamentes to form a 1 on the card. Check out the challenge and other cards on www.daringcardmakers.blogspot.com
I enjoyed making this card for the last card challenge with the theme "winter". You can check out the challenges at http://www.daringcardmakers.blogspot.com. Join in you want to build up your stock of cards : )
I am recovering well from my recent operation and thought it was time to make some thank you cards for all the kind people who visited, brought goodies and phoned me to wish me well.
Last night I made these up fairly quickly - its funny how you think you have certain cardstock in your stash and when you go to find it, nope not there! I thought I had some lovely cream speckled card with coloured bits in it.. maybe I imagined it! :)
These lovely buttons I found in our $2 store, there are some lovely colours and styles among them. They are great for card and craft embellishing.
Lovely Gina (www.gingerbread.typepad.com) came to visit and brought us some of her lovely pumpkin soup, the recipe can be found on Gina's blog - I would recommend you making it a.s.a.p!
We talked cards and stamping, so I found a bit of inspiration to make a card for my s-i-l's birthday tomorrow. A good thing to do when one is recovering from surgery : )
The rub-ons are from Spotlight and the maker is American Craft - Kate Sidekicks.
The card is pink bazzil and the other bits in the scrap supply, the button is one out of a packet I bought from a $2 store.
This was a fun challenge.. my doodling skills are very basic so I chose to make a really small gift card. Used my black pen for the edging and some scrap paper, a hugs transfer, some yellow raffia ribbon and a little button embellishment.
