Challenge

Well hi there peeps, I can't believe I have another new post for you all. This one is a challenge pack from Tomorrow's Memories Bassendean. I wasn't quite sure on what to do with this pack, but have come to the conclusion that if you pick your photo first then the rest just comes together nicely. This is a recent photo of my hubby & I out the front of our house, after we have come back from my nephews wedding, and before we left for the reception. I have used pink basil for my background page, which I have added to the pack (you are allowed to add stuff, and use a portion of everything in the pack), have cut out an oval shape in the page, using creative memories cutting system and also the photo, have placed it on some of the paper from the pack and cut out the flowers and oval shape from the paper supplied. I have also used another paper that was supplied, brown spotty one on the edge, and torn it to give it a lift. I have used the ribbon (supplied) around the right side of the photo and used pearls to decorate, with the middle one, I have used a button (supplied) underneath. I have also used wooden butterflies, which one was supplied and I have added a few more, coloured them with my promarkers and spritzed them with smooch spritz. Above the oval I have used the flowers (supplied) and the leaves I have coloured with my promarkers.

I have used d the other piece of lace (supplied on the brown paper, and cut out the green card (supplied) in strips and scallop circles, used the doily (supplied) on top of that and placed the green furry ribbon (supplied) with the pink flower on top. I hope you like my page. Well that's it from me for now, hope to add another post soon, have a fantastic day! Jo xx

Another posting in a week! Woo hoo....

Well hello again there bloggers....

Thought I would make it 2 in one week, just to catch up for not posting anything for a long time! :) Hope everyone is doing fine.

Well this time I have decided to post some of my latest cards I have made for special occasions.

The first one I made for my newly acquired niece, who got married to my nephew in March - this is for her birthday. And I have used a cute Magnolia Tilda stamp, I love these stamps, think they are so adorable and I must say I am a little bit addictive to them... :)

I have coloured her in using distress inks and perfect pearls mixed together and used an aqua brush to colour with (found this technique in a Magnolia magazine), a Spellbinders eyelet circles which I then embossed using my cuttlebug, and inked around the edges using distress ink. I used some paper I got in a pack from Big W store and flowers I purchased through Mister Turtle shop and some ribbon with a decorative buckle and the sentiment is a kaiser rub-on. The second card I made for my Mum for Mothers Day. I have made an easel card this time, one of my first goes at this... I have used Kaisercraft "Magic Happens" paper in the background and a Stampin Up image from the "Two-Step Stampin Petal Prints", and the butterflies are also from Stampin Up, "Butterfly Prints" set, which I have used Liquid Pearls - "Lavender Lace" and "Bisque" in the centre and also used with the matching Stampin Up punch to cut them out. On the bottom of the easel card I have used another punch which is the butterfly "EK success", and a "Fiskars" lace border punch. The sentiment I have cut out using my wonderful Cricut machine, which I absolutely love.... and some bling...

And the third card I made for my sister's birthday. I have made a bookmark card. I have also used the same background paper as the Tilda card I made, and I have used a Sarah Kay stamp this time, which I also love these stamps. I have coloured it in using my lovely promarkers, still getting used of blending with them. Used my spellbinder scallop ovals to cut the image out and inked around the edges. I have used some blue ribbon from my stash and a buckle which I purchased from Spotlight in a bargain pack and the sentiment is another kaiser rub-on, added some little blue flowers also from my stash. The bookmark I have stamped another image and coloured it in the same.

I hope you like my cards, and thanks again for stopping by.

See you all again very soon with some more postings. :)

Well hi there bloggers. It has been a while since I posted anything, and a friend of mine, The Twins mum prompted me to add a new posting, I have been meaning to do it for a while, just haven't gotten round to it.... I have also been unwell for the last week with the flu (after having the flu injection), and now have to deal with blocked ears :( Also my youngest daughter has been off school unwell with some virus. So I am posting 2 Floating frames, which I purchased at The Craft Stand Malaga and have decorated them with Kaisercraft papers, called "Magic Happens" - love this paper, and have sprayed the top and the back with "Crafty Notions - Creative Colour Spray called Blueberrilicious and made the ever popular roses with the Tim Holtz Alterations die that I also love and spritzed them with the same spray as used on the outside. I used photos from our trip to Queensland last year, the first one is with my youngest daughter, Taylah who got to hold a koala and the second one is of all of us at "The Great Australian Outback" show, which was fantastic and so glad we went to see it... Ok well thats it for now guys, thanks for stopping by and looking :) Have a few more things to upload on here, but one at a time is good for me... Will catch u all later, have a good day! :) Jo x
