Custom Ordered Cards for Twins!

Hi Everyone,

Recently I created these 2 cards for a custom order - the brief was twin girls birthday cards, one pink, one purple, 2nd birthday and to make them the same but different.

This is what I came up with:


The 2 butterflies represent the 2nd birthday, it was a bit much with the girls names and the #2 on the front.

If you would like a custom ordered card for someone special, please email me.

Gee whizz! I scrapbooked!

Hi Everyone,

Here's a couple of scrapbooking page layouts I did a couple of weeks ago... I'd been holding off showing you as I was going to print off some pics for them, but seeing as I haven't got there and I've been super quiet again on my blog I thought I'd better show you the layouts instead.

This first one is a case from Amanda, we spent the day together and each did some scrapbooking whilst our 2 youngest girls (who are the same age) played together... I did changed it around a little and used some different papers from the Big Top Designer Series Paper.

The centre yellow panel is large enough to fit a 5x7" photo, and I may add some bunting with my Pennant Punch for the title to be added to.

This page is using the Sale-a-bration papers and a colour a rarely use - Always Artichoke! Definitely not one of 'my colours' but I think it worked really well for this layout.
This layout will fit one 6x4" photo and I will add some journaling of course, once the photo is printed and I decide what to write, and change my hand so I can write neatly!!

Sunny Stamping Challenge 032/12

Hi Everyone,

This card fits 2 purposes - the Sunny Stamping Challenge 032/12 and also a request for a baby girls card from one of my friends.


I turned the sketch challenge on it's side - it just worked so much better for the owl and ribbon combo :)

Hi Everyone,



Just stopping by quickly today to remind you that the Summer Mini and Sale-a-bration Catalogues are finishing on 31st March.

Now to explain my week long absence, I've been working on more hairclips cards with Pretty Little Things. Here are some of the latest creations ready for Easter.





And I've also done some custom order tags for Eirian Body Products



And you can find me this weekend at The Glades Art & Produce Markets in Byford, next weekend at the Hills Heartbeat Festival in Armadale and the following weekend at The Village Markets at Wellard. So it's busy busy for me!! but I'm loving it!!

If you'd like to contact me, please call 0407 262 452 or email me, or I've changed over to the new timeline format on facebook, which means you can message me directly from there too!

Bye for now, I'm off to sort out tea for the troops! :)

Loads of Love

Hi Everyone,

5 years ago when I joined Stampin' Up! I received the Loads of Love stamp set in my starter kit... It's been gathering dust for a while on my shelf although I did briefly use it for my February class.

Anyway, I was on a roll making men's cards and whipped up these 2 as well:

I used my long neglected "crimper" here too!

Me again!! With a Sunny Challenges card

Hi again,

Well, whilst I'm online I'd better show you my Sunny Challenges card for this week.



I'm quite proud of myself for doing 2 challenges last night! And for doing my first ever pinwheel on a card!! I'm sure I used to make these as a kid! And they are surprisingly easy!!

Well, I hope to join in lots more challenges, I've missed lots lately and also teaching myself some new things!!

Festive Friday Challenge

HI Everyone,

Over the long weekend I had a clean up of my craft room... One of the big changes was to the draw containing all my ribbons and brads/eyelets...

What a mess!!

Oh that's better! lol :)
I can't believe how much room all those rolls of ribbon were taking up! So I wound them all onto squares of card (made the flaps of the SU brown boxes), and placed them in this storage box I bought from Kmart for $10. I have chopped the hinged lid off, as that was only going to get in the way! Big thing for me - I don't normally cut up things I buy but like to keep them as I bought them! However, I couldn't take all my lovely SU ribbons off their rolls.... Did you know I had 2 crochet ribbons - both unopened!! whoops!

Anyway, I was squeezed in some crafting last night including this card for the Festive Friday Challenge #8.


I've been meaning to try this 'frilly' look for ages, so I tried last night with the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch. I sense a few more cards coming up as I test out all my border punches with this technique! :)

I was inspired by Nicole's card to use my Pennant Punch and co-ordinating Pennant Parade Stamp Set.
