A few cards !

Hey Everyone,

Its been a busy few weeks around here!

Last weekend my sister and her family flew in from interstate, to help celebrate my parents 80th Birthdays. It was kind of a family reunion too.....It had been 2 1/2 years since I'd seen my sister.  So I went nuts cleaning everything, lots of baking too! We had a great weekend.......I think its taken me all of this week to recover!

Anyway.......onto my projects.

For my first card I played along with "Paper Sweeties" October challenge. 

Live Love Grow.....is a stamp from Paper Sweeties. I cut the Maple leaf from cricut Artbooking cartridge, embossing it with cross stitched hearts. Doilies and more doilies, lace and a sprinkle of sequins.

This is the card I made for my Mum. The overlay was cut using cricut Artfully sent cartridge, the pretty papers are Kaiser.

I sure find it hard to make masculine cards.......this is what I came up with for my dad. As you can see I took inspiration from the background paper and cut a Balloon from cricut Artfully Sent cartridge. It is glitter embossed......yep, I had to add some sequins too!

Otherwise I think its pretty plain :)

Thanks for stopping by, Have a great weekend!

Happy Creating

Halloween Greetings

Happy Monday !

Its time to show you this weeks challenge in The Shabby Tea Room.

Colors and Patterns is the theme, along with this fun inspiration photo.

I've mixed quite a few different patterns on my card. The spider web overlay and spider were cut using Artfully sent cricut cartridge. I hope you can see all the glitter....it really sparkles. 

The vintage image is from "My Artistic Adventures".....they are the sponsoring this challenge. Be sure to check them out....they have some really cute collage sheets.

And

A friend of mine had a baby last week.

Thought I would also share a super simple card I made to match the cute tiger on the overalls. I used 'Create a Critter cricut cartridge for the tiger, Peachy Keen critter stamps for the face and my favorite heart embossing folder for the background.

Have a great week Everyone

Hey There.......so nice of you to stop by!

Not a lot of creating happening here at the moment!

I've really been loving the Spring weather, enjoying time in the garden.

But....

Today, I made some time to create a layout. 

I have so many Kaiser papers.......I have set a goal for myself to enter their challenge each month, to use them up. Problem is the new collections are so pretty, I find it hard not to buy more!

October challenge is this sketch

I have combined it with the challenge at White with 1

'Peach Puff'

Pink Gelato is the Kaiser collection I have used....... handmade flowers cut with 'mothers day bouquet' cricut cartridge, fussy cut flowers and few pretty doilies.

Just realized, I messed up the sentiment sentence......I stuck the second verse in the wrong order :( I'm off to fix it now!

Hope you are enjoying a creative week

Hello,

BOO-riffic

is the theme for the new challenge in the 

The Shabby Tea Room # 261

How cool is this Halloween pumpkin

 Create a Card /project inspired by the photo

Here is what I did on my Halloween Tea Party card.

 The background was created with a polka dot stamp, dipping the edges of the card in purple glitter. Tea Party is also a stamp.....it is embossed. Just pretend you didn't see the date (Good Friday) . I thought the images could pass as Halloween! A Tea pot die from Paper Sweeties was used to create the shaker element. (links below) I dyed the crinkle ribbon to match......... and one last thing....a gorgeous crochet doily.

Here is the link to the products I've used from Paper Sweeties...who are sponsoring us for this challenge.

Tea For Two, Tea For Two Sweet Cuts, Grape Sequins, Frosting Sequins 

Be sure to check out the pretty cards the other Shabby girls have to show you.

I really appreciate you all stopping by and leaving such kind words,

Thank you so much

Have a great week

Tea Party

The card I have to share today I made for the 

"Coffee Lovers" Blog Hop. 

Create a Coffee/tea or Coco project.

Tea would be my beverage of choice.......I thought this silhouette image from 'Suburbia' cricut cartridge would be perfect!

It was only when I finished the card I realized it needed to be a Fall theme. Then I thought.......Where I live its Sub Tropical, not a lot changes, except the temperature is a little cooler.

My card

The soft blue and cream would have to be my favorite colour combination. I wanted to create a Tea party theme..........love the soft look of the Paper ruffles !  They remind me of layered table linen. Crinkle ribbon a crochet doily and some sparkly  leaves complete the scene. ' I'm having a Tea Party' is a stamp from 'Paper Sweeties' one of the sponsors for the hop.

Wow....I can't believe how many awesome entries there are linking up, I think I'm  # 610.......maybe lucky last??? Hmmm...I don't think so!

So nice of you to visit

Enjoy your weekend

Tracey

Celebration

Happy October Everyone

A new month... a new challenge at 'Sketchy Boards'

Its a fabulous sketch  and a pretty  photo for inspiration.

 

Here is what I came up with.

This is a photo of my daughter all dressed up looking Stunning for her High school formal.

I used a variety of washi tape for the banner, a few fussy cut flowers, die cut doilies and of course my favorite crochet doilies 

( just for you Lisa)....and a sprinkle of sequins for  extra sparkle.

I look forward to seeing what you create! 

Be sure to check out the fabulous creations the other Sketchy Board girls have to show you.

Its another gorgeous Spring day.......I can't wait to get out in the garden.

Happy Creating
