Thinking of you daisies

This card was made for a  friend who lost her son in law in a tragic accident last week.

He has left behind two small children and his lovely wife. It is so heartbreaking when something like this happens. I feel for the small children who have to go on without their daddy. It just makes me so sad!

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all the family.

Razzleberry Garden

How pretty are these colours? These are some of the new goodies from the Stampin up Autumn-Winter mini catalogue that I will be demonstrating at my next card class. The colours are rich razzleberry, pale plum and olive which coordinate beautifully with the new Designer series paper, Cottage wall. The stamp set is Cottage garden.

For more info, or to purchase any of these products, send me an email and I will be more than happy to help you.

Long weekend card creations

Well another weekend is almost here! Where do these weeks go?

Last weekend was a long one and I spent a lot of that time at home in my craft room. It was so nice to have a couple of days to just make cards. I have so many cut-outs in a box so I decided it was time to put them together and make some cards to use them up.

Here is one set of cards using the new beautiful Kaiser craft range called Utopia.

I love the aqua and purple combo.

Some cards using my new MS border punch and Prima flowers! Some of you will know a little story about me and my MS punch, lets just say DON'T USE TO MUCH MUSCLE with these punches ;)

Thanks Lee-Anne for replacing it for me!

This is what I was trying to achieve!

Hope you all have a beautiful relaxing Mother's day on Sunday!

Bye for now,

Mother's Day cards

Mother's day is coming so I thought I'd make a start on some Mother's day cards.
Here are the first one's I have made for this year.
Paper used on these cards are  from Basic Grey. It is such a soft pretty pattened paper which is perfect for
the type of card I have made. The large white rose flower has been hand made using different sizes of the retro punch. These punches have been sitting in my cupboard unused for some time but I think they will be getting used a bit more often now I have discovered another use for them. The border punch is from Fiskars, ribbon is bashful blue from Stampin up! I will be back later in the week to show you some more cards I have made. Hope you all have a good week!

Bigger The Wishes

Stamps used on this card are also from Stampin Up! Both stamps are from the 2010 sale-a-bration catalogue.

Sweet treat butterfly

Hi, I know it has been ages since I have posted anything! I'm not much of a blogger am I!

Anyway, just thought I'd pop in and share a card I made using a Stampin up! set called Something Sweet. The sweet treat cup is filled with water and butterfly sprinkles so they float around. Hope you like it!

Cherish the time spent together

Hi all,

The layout I am sharing with you today is a special one to me. The photo is of my uncle, dad and my Nonna (grandma) Mary. My Nonna, as we call her, is 87 in a couple of weeks. She has dementia and is now a resident at our local hospital. She can no longer speak, and just looks at you with this blank expression on her face. It is so heartbreaking seeing her like this! She was pretty much a second mum to me, my sisters and cousins growing up. Now it is our turn to feed and look after her.

This photo was taken on Christmas Day 2008. Nonna was in her glory with all the grand kids and great grand kids around her. She had a constant smile on her face.
Today I went to visit her and put a copy of this layout on her cupboard right next to her bed where she can see it.

Now, about the layout.

Scrap Therapy had a Cybercrop on the weekend. I made this layout based on Sandra D's sketch for challenge 3, but have added more flowers to it since uploading into the ST gallery.

I have used My Minds Eye Just dreamy 2 papers, Prima flowers and say it in crystals flourish, brads, Fiskars border punch, jumbo leaf punch, Kaisercraft quote on vellum and other bits and pieces from my stash.

Thanks for stopping by!
