SkogsTokiga

Morning all - again. I discovered a new (to me) stamp company called SkogsTokiga or Enjoy my Crazy Forest Creations. I love them and want more and more and more of them. They are adorable and absolutely wonderful to work with - they are all Lacer rubber stamps. I just couldn't help myself and had to make a card last night with these gorgeous stamps.

I used the sketch from Sketch Saturday for this card. I love it. I also decided to combine the challenge with Colour Create with a 'Kraft, Blue and White' colour challenge. I love this DP from SU so there was no problem doing this challenge. Babbling now. Sorry.
Enjoy your hump day.

Club Anya & Friends Sketch #2

It's hump day. Yippee.

I made this card for Club Anya and Friends Sketch Saturday #2. I am loving all the sketches. I really don't think I could live without them now. I find it hard to do cards without them. LOL. Even though there isn't a prize for every sketch challenge they are still fabulous and I love playing along.

I have been using up all the DP as much as I can so sticking to my resolution and still no cigarettes in this house so this is the 4th Day smoke free. Pretty good as they reckon the first week is always the hardest. I must say that I don't know why I ever took it back up again after having each of the kids. What was I thinking.....????? Hehehehe.

Crazy 4 Challenges

At Crazy 4 Challenges they have this wonderful sketch. Now this is the first time I have entered C4C but have been watching for some time. I felt like I was so busy doing other stuff etc. I am very happy I got this finished.

I love this DP from 3 Bugs in a Rug and on the other side it has dinosaurs but thought it suited better with just the opposite side with these gorgeous colours. Anyway. Babbling. Enjoy your day.

Thanks

Good morning. Did everyone's weekend go as quickly as mine did...??? I swear it was just too short :( DH and I are giving up smoking ATM too and so far so good - 36 hours without a cigarette. I tell you it is a struggle but we are determined to do it. Another NY's resolution. Wish us luck.

Okay on to my card. I made this card for Friday Sketchers with this fab sketch. I also made it for Just Magnolia with a challenge of making a Thank You card. So here it is. My good blogging friend Christine sent me this gorgeous Magnolia image and she snuck in some Hanglar stamped images as well as a sweet surpirse. Thanks heaps honey I really am going to have lots of fun with these. mwah mwah.

The gorgeous lace ribbon that I have used on the bottom is from Magnolia Down Under Store and is currently in stock. The personalized stamp (see below) is also available to order in store.

Valentines Card

Good morning again dear friends.

This is the first challenge for Magnolia Down Under Challenge for the year. We would like to see 'Valentines Card'. Easy Peasy. I love the new Winter kit as it has all the gorgeous new stamps that you can use for Valentines or love or friendship. A lot of things. I am yet to use all of mine. I just can't decide what to use them for. I love this new 'Love Bandit' DP by Bo Bunny. I have heaps more so am hoping to make lots more Valentine's cards.

Flowers

Good morning gorgeous blogging friends. How are we all today....???

Another challenge over at Anya Ink. This one is a simple one compared to last challenge. 'Flowers'. How easy is that....???!!!! You can interpret any way you like. You can use paper with flowers, stamp with flowers or just add flowers to your creation. Very open just as long as there is some form of flowers on your creation. I decided to go the whole hog and I used a stamp with flowers, flower DP and added flowers as well. LOL.

Pop on over to the Anya Ink blog and see what the other talented ladies have come up with or go directly to their blogs to spread the love.

Happy 5th Birthday

Hey hey hey everyone. I am in such a good mood this morning. I haven't been able to get to sleep at night - a side effect of the PND meds but got myself some Valerian last night and took some last night and I got to sleep straight away. It was such a good sleep too - didn't even hear hubby come to bed about 1am. Woo hoo. Feel refreshed today. Oh and the weather is going to be fantastic - 30degrees celsius and not a cloud in the sky. Wonderful.

I was lucky enough to be able to pick up the new Happy Day set from TGF on the 1st when it was a limited release and couldn't wait to use on a Birthday card for my besties DD's 5th card. I am happy with the way it turned out but will most likely make another for her and just give to someone else. I used up all the DP by decorating the inside.

I was also lucky enough to receive some goodies in the mail from two of my blogging friends Christine and Sammi. Will be making projects with the stamped images very soon.

Papertake Weekly Sketch

Good morning. Wow what a wonderful day I had yesterday. I got lots of cards done but can't show you just yet but this is one that was finished on Wednesday. This card just flowed. I eventually got myself some Bo Bunny Alissa DP but it is very hard to find now.

I made this card for Papertake Weekly with this fabulous sketch. I love unwrapped Tilda as she is not only a Christmas stamp but you could use her for Birthdays too.

I have made a New Years Resolution with my DP. I am to try and use the DP I just used straight away instead of storing away the leftovers for them to not to be used. I am endeavoring to use it all on one card or at least two within the same week that I use it. We will see how I go. LOL. Aren't resolutions made to be broken. Hahahaha.

A Lovely Couple

Good morning everyone. It is Thursday so that means it is Softpencil Thursday. This image is called 'A Lovely Couple' and is part of the new Valentine's images available in the Softpencil Shop. Our challenge was to use our favourite sketch. I love this sketch from Double Dutch that was posted on the 23rd March last year. It is such a great sketch. Enjoy your day.

Going Girly

Good morning everyone. Is it cold where you are....??? Well it is scorching hot here in Australia. Monday was 44 degrees celcius or 111 degrees farenheit. Pretty hot and yesterday morning the air conditioner got put on as soon as I was able to switch it on as it was in the high 20's over night. Stay warm to those of you in the cold and stay cool to all in Australia and the warmer climates.

Okay - on to my card. I have combined three challenges with this one. The first is using this wonderful sketch from Sketch Saturday. I had to change it a little as the flowers wouldn't fit above her head but it is the sketch. LOL. Second over at The Pink Elephant they have a challenge of 'Birthday' and I made this card for a good friends 30th so it fits with their challenge. And last but not least we have the challenge at Cupcake Crafts - Going Girly. Seeing I have so much pink on this card I think it fits. LOL. Okay I am off. Hopefully not to hot for us today.
