New stuff

I finally made a card, all my stuff has been packed away since July but I received an order of new catty stuff. My friend turned 30 yesterday so I made this card for her:

I made a cake and my husband decorated it for her:

For A Boy Whose Turning FIVE!!!

My friend from schools eldest son is turning 5!! and off to school. I had to make him a card to celebrate this milestone. Ive used retired DSP to create the sky and hills. I coloured in the dinosaurs from DINOROAR using my wwatercolour crayons and aqua painter. I then fussy cut the dinosaurs out and mounted them with dimensionals. I seem to do a lot more fussy cutting then I have in the past and I don't enjoy it but I do LOVE how the end product looks! Thanks for stopping by, Amanda

More Motorcycle

An ex work collegue of mine is celebrating his birthday on Monday and I decided to make him a card. he used to ride his motorcycle to work int he summer so felt it only fitting to make him a card with a motorcycle on it. All cardstock used is retired as is the stamp. Thanks for stopping by, Amanda

Me Time

I have been concentrating on cards lately and when I did have a free minute I was reading The Wideacre Trilogy by Philippa Gregory. Before I started to read anymore books I decided I needed to get back to my cradt space and work on some art journal pages. Over the long weekend I created this page "Me Time" Sorry it has loaded sideways, it was showing the correct way in my photo software. Thanks for stopping by, Amanda

Who doesn't like a bright card?

Whilst I had the bright cardstock, inkpads, button and ribbon out I made three cards. I also used punches and DSP. The stamp used was A Reason To Smile. Thanks for stopping by, Amanda

Random Art Journalling

My friends got married in March and the song that the bride walked down the aisle to was JUST BREATHE by Pearl Jam. I loved the lyrics so much I googled them and then created an art journal page using them. My colours are pink and purple, I used my new distress ink and some paint to 'rough' it up!

Bright Because I Care

I am behind in my card making I have made this card for a close family friend whose husband passed away a year ago this month, I intend to post the card so it will hopefully arrive on the day or just before. I will include a recent photo of my girls with it.

I am liking this colour combo of daffodil delight, melon mambo and pacific point along with the stampset A Reason to Smile. Thanks for stopping by, Amanda
