Finally found some time and mojo to play

This one was just a quickie but one I have wanted to try for awhile, using Spellbinders Nestabilities small scalloped circle. I saw these on you tube and I am thinking that I will do next years Christmas cards this shape. This last years cards cost me $1.00 each to post and with 50 of them to go out it was quite expensive, so I figure this cute little one will be perfect. Ohhhh I have just remembered that I haven't put up a picture of the last Christmas card so I had better put that on my to do list.

This is using a Magnolia Stamp again along with Spellbinders and Nellie's multi frame die's (I love this doiley die, it is sooooo pretty) also some home made flowers and of course a Martha Stewart butterfly punch. Its a shaker card with beadazzles behind the acetate.

This is using my favourite Magnolia stamp (might have something to do with the fact I was born in Nottingham, home of Robin Hood) and my Nellie's multi frame die's, fiskars punch and some folded scallop circles. I don't usally do the distressed look much but have been pushing myself to try new things.

Challenge complete!!

This is my layout that my good friend Kerry challenged me to. I don't normally do scrapbooking so Kerry takes every advantage to keep me at it. I am happy with the results, I used kaiser papers and flowers and Nellie's multi frame dies.

Finally I have had a little time to play, after lots of running around after hubby broke two bones in his foot. We had to travel 2000 kms by car to go see an Orthopaedic surgeon only to be told it will heal all by itself - still I forced myself to do some shopping in the big smoke while we were away. Now I am finally able to focus on Christmas and enjoy all the preparations.

Key rings/handbag charms

Here are a few of the key rings/handbag charms that I am making for Gallery Day at the Living Arts Centre in Blackall next weekend. I have tried to make them in all the colours of the rainbow (hence the rainbow on the box). What do you think?

Star Card

I made this card using a gorgeous Laurence Collection Stamp, Spellbinders, Sizzix, punches, Bo Bunny back to basics and Bazzill card. And of course twinklings h20's, flower soft and kindy glitz.

More Flowers

Here are some more little flowers that I have learnt how to make. Again they are so easy. I am going to have a go at filming a how to clip for these ones and the other little fella's that I made- stay tuned for that

Fireman Benji turns 8

My baby turns 8 this week - which I can't believe. He has always wanted to be a fireman (since he was about 2) so I find myself making Fireman themed birthday cards each year - although I am sure I will run out of ideas one of these years, maybe by then he will change his mind . . . . . . . . . . . hmmm I wonder?????
