My 1st "Bizzy Becs" stamp card

Here is a card I made using my new Bizzy Becs Stamp "Candy Kisses"



I used some Basic Grey paper, lace ribbon from Spotlight, blooms and card from my stash...

Oh, and I coloured the little darling in with my copics!

What do you think??

Magnolia Down Under - Under the Sea

Well It seems I am too late for the Magnolia down Under Challenge... as it s supposed to be in by midday Sat - It's now 1.10pm.. oops!!

The challenge was " under the sea"!

Well - I thought I would show you my card anyway.... I did not have any appropriate "sea" Magnolia stamps.. So I thought I would turn this pretty Tilda into a mermaid!



I've been feeling very UNMOTIVATED.... work has been busy and I just don't really feel like crafting (I think my Mojo ran off somewhere anyway)! But I received my Bizzy Becs stamps
this week and I love them!!! so....



come back later and I "just might" have some cards to show!

Stamping out Alzheimers

Have you checked out the Stampin out Alzheimers link at the side of my blog??

<---

Anything that can be done here is worthwhile... Alzheimers is such a horrible disease... I watched it eat away at both my grandfathers (so sad!!) I wish that no one had to go through such a horrid ordeal ... praying they find a cure soon!

I created this cupcake for a challenge on the Stampin out Alzheimers site!




the cupcake is a template from Kelleigh and she has more templates at her store - Digichick
How fun!! :)

Thanks for looking... now I seem to be having troubles with:
1. blogger - keeps quitting/ not letting me leave comments! sporadically it does let me!
2. My wireless connection is dropping in and out all over the place... ahhhhhh!!!

Crafty Muse :: Black, White and ?

The current challenge on Crafty Muse is to use: Black, White and ??

Papertake Weekly Challenge :: Sketch challenge

The Papertake weekly challenge this week is a sketch by the fabulous Dawny

It's a great sketch... here is my attempt at making a card using the sketch:



I coloured this image that my mate Tina sent me some time ago.. and I wanted to keep it rather focal so I did not add in any extra embellishments etc! I think it works! I love the fairy anyway :)

Check out the Papertake Weekly Challenge.. there are some awesome creations there from the Design Team!

another peek

Well.... I am madly finishing up images for the TWO new download sets I've promised,
(available soon at Crafty Muse)

I will give you a peek at another part of this image/ set during this week...

Well it's a couple of days late but I wanted to wait until Mothers Day to post my card!

at CRAFTY MUSE
The challenge this time is to create a project inspired by May Day!

love, flowers, romance....

I took the love and flowers side and decided to make a Mother's Card... so here it is:



I used Angelique sitting and also a Celtic stamp I am looking after whilst my friend L is overseas!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! to all you Mum's out there!
and a big thanks to my Mum for all your love and care over the years!

MDUC # 10 :: Mother's Day

The challenge this week at Magnolia Down Under is to make a Mother's Day card,

Here is the card that I have made for the challenge (and posted off to my MIL from DH and I)!



OK, I'm having a shocker with photos right now! I need to track down the card reader and batteries for better camera... until then I'm sorry but have to make-do with these camera phone pics!

Bizzy Becs Whiff of Joy challenge

Bec from Bizzy Becs is running a Whiff of Joy Challenge on her blog...

I thought I'd make a card and join in the fun:

"The requirements of the Challenge are one card entry per person - You Must Use

• Whiff Of Joy Stamp
• Lace - whether it is real lace, lace trim or punch lace is fine."

I did not have any real lace handy and so I made some out of a lacey looking punch!I think it works ok.


thanks to Teen for the image and Tegz for the water drops!!

some sneaky peeks

Well.. Just checking in... I'm still here... just have not been able to do any crafting and have not been blogging either... op went rather well on Mon - thanks for your thoughts and prayers... however I got rather ill on Tues and went back to hospital... Home again Wed arvo and then just taking time to recover.. slower than I would like!

Have no energy... a bit sore and just feel :P most of the time. Just need to be patient I guess...

I am hoping to get around to comment on all your blogs soon! IN the next few days...

I have drawn a couple of images lately (last week) ... these sneaky peeks below are all I can give you for now....






What are these images for?? HINT :: I'm rather late with a project that I should have sent off around the world to some SBS ladies some time ago ... things are started.... one day they will arrive.
