Tracey art

This is more like a doodle than some kind of art but thought I would show you some more of my drawings. I used to have this hanging on my wall - hence the yellowed corners from the sticky tape. LOL. Have a good one.

Love

Morning sweet friends. I hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day. We don't celebrate it here in Australia much as it is just another Hallmark Holiday. LOL. I didn't get anything and hubby didn't get anything from me either. We know we love each other. Hahaha.

This week over at Just Magnolia the challenge is to make a 'Love' creation. I thought I would use on of the So Jolly stamps that Christine stamped for me as it was one that I wanted but I think I got about 75% of the collection so didn't want to buy any more. LOL. Anyway I thought I would use her using the sketch from Friday sketchers. I do love this sketch and am betting that I will be using it again.

I must say that I have had a hard time lately of taking a straight photo of my cards. Doh....!!!!!

This challenge I decided to use one of my Spring 2009 Magnolia stamps. I love this stamp and she didn't get as much use as I would have liked so seeing Spring is coming and I am sure we will be seeing the Spring Kit from Magnolia soon then I thought I would dig her out. Hope you like. Make sure to pop by the other DT's blogs from Group 2 to share the love.

Hahaha. I was planning on having a blog candy but haven't got myself organized yet. So stay tuned as I will be having one very soon.

Now on to my card. This is an image from 2 Cute Rubber Stamps (who also do digi) and this one is a digi. Ain't he super cute.....!!!!!! I just had to buy this and make a boy birthday card. I am absolutely rapt with the way this card turned out. He looks divine - I think...!!!!! My super talented hubby took this photo with his new camera - am wrapped with the way it turned out. Okay better go. Hehehehe Have a good friday.

Be Mine forever

Morning. It's Thursday so it is Softpencil DT challenge day. This image is called 'Be Mine' (of course) and our challenge was to make a Spring card - you can find the tutorial here.

I did struggle with this card. It just didn't sit right so I ended up having to tape down the front triangle bit just so I could take a photo of it. I stamped up some Valentine stamps and just put some dimensional glitter glue and Kindyglitz on the red swirls. Hope you have a good day.

Kraftin' Kimmie Birfday challenge

Morning all. Hope we are all well. I am cruising and have some very exciting things to show you very soon. Hopefully in the next couple of days or could be weeks (hoping not the case). I made this card for Kraftin' Kimmie's Korner - Birfday challenge. You have to make a card following the sketch of the card that Kimmie made. Phew that was a mouthful. When I made this card I had no idea it would turn out this way. It doesn't really look like what I had in my head but it is a nice card all the same. Have a good one.

Green and black

Good morning all. Just a quick one as I seriously think that I have carpel tunnel or at least a serious case of RSI so my arm is just aching. I made this card for the InStyle stamps DT call. I love this stamp - her name is Yuki. If you want her just go to Instyle stamps here. I got the idea for the border around the oval from one of my MDUC team mates Norma - here is the link. Okay said it was going to be quick. Have a good one.

:) Happy Birthday

Morning sweethearts. Well it is Monday. *groan* I so want the week over already and it just started. Saturday night was fabulous for those of you who were wondering. LOL. I had lots of yummy drinks, played lots of pool and spent time with some old friends that we haven't hung out with for ages. The birthday girl had a wonderful time and got suitably drunk hehehe. She loved the handmade card that I gave her. Woo hoo. LOL.

This card is one of the cards I made for my friend for her order. No challenges - just wanted to use this Edwin as he has been gathering dust. Enjoy your day everyone.
