A new addiction

So it's been a long time, hey!!

I've been wanting to update for ages but haven't had any mojo for what seems like forever. Over the past couple of weeks, I've had about 20 people ask me what's going on with my blog. So I am going to try and keep it updated more often.

Mojos been missing for about 5 months now and no matter what I've been trying it just doesn't want to come back. I've got a pile of pages that I've started on only to have them go to the 'I need to think about it'pile.

I have managed to complete two of my Bakers Dozen calico pages. I can't show them completely but I have posted some sneaky peakies of them on the Bakers Dozen 2010 blog.

My new addiction...Copics. I've spent the past few weeks learning how to use these - thank you You Tube. I'm still struggling with them a little - I need to practice colouring in the lines :)

I've finally felt confident enough with the colouring to make some cards with them.

This is Sassy Alice and one of the images I've got from Sassy Studio Designs.

This one is from Mo's Digital Pencil.

The following few cards have images from Victoria Case, I so love some of the gorgeous lady stamps Victoria has. Just a warning though that I've put a cheeky sentiment on the last card and may be found a little offensive for some :)

......the inside

A couple with Greeting Farm stamps.

A frame with Jenni Bowlin butterflies that I made for a gift.

A few pics of a day at my dads. There's an old tractor up the back of his house and we thought it would be perfect for some pics. The first is myself and my brothers and sisters. The second

is my boy Jordan (and depending of what's taking his fancy on the day)

aka Jordo

aka JB

aka Jord

and now has decided he wants to be known as Jordie

My husbands gorgeous

I felt my husband climb into bed this morning after his night shift, snuggled in and went back to sleep. When I finally woke up and rolled over this is what was sitting on my table next to my bed :)

Also some yummy white Llindt chocolate

I've spent my afternoon in my craft room. I finished the March DT for Daisy & Dandelion and have been busting to start on Bakers Dozen stuff as well. The pages that we do for each other every month are on a piece of calico and I have just finished dying 1 piece with Alcohol Inks - I now have green fingers and stiff feeling skin (no gloves to be found anywhere) and am not 100% happy with the result I got.

I think that will be enough crafting for the day. Gaz ordered the Winter Olympic package on foxtel, so I have 4 channels to choose from and I need a coffee.

Team Edward

I finally played with my Edward stamp this week. He's so cute and was the perfect inspiration to get back into my little room. I used Glimmer Mist on his hair and it's given it a really nice effect but you really can't see it here.

This card's for Bronny who's 16 today. The pic is a bit blurry but it was the only one I took before popping the card in the mail. Love the papers.

Happy Birthday Bron

long lost friend

that's how my craft room felt when I ventured inside it this week. I've done two pages in the last couple of days.

This one is my husbands aunt and uncle and a belated Christmas gift. I framed it in a white Bazzill shadow box and it looked really pretty.

....and my flower fettish continues, so many gorgeous ones available - and isn't that punch gorgeous:)

I also want to say congrats to Debbie for her honourable mention in this years Masters. Awesome page Deb.

Love is in the air

Here's this months project for the Daisy & Dandelion blog.

This month it's Valentines Day and I've used a cute D & D paper pad.

My holidays have started today so hopefully I will be getting a little more productive in my craft room.

I'm also in a Bakers Dozen group with a bunch of Geelong ladies. We went out for coffee last week and I can't wait to get started.

Happy New Year!!!!

This is my new year project for the Daisy & Dandelion blog. Click on the link and have a look at the gorgeous stuff the rest of the DT have done this month. It's a bit late being posted but I've been without a computer on and off for a couple of weeks.

My poor PC died :(

We went shopping last week to get a new hard drive and came home with this baby - a 23"HP Touchsmart - its gorgeous but I'm having trouble getting my eyes to adjust to the size of the pages. My husbands eyes were ogling it as soon as we walked into the store.

We also updated my Photoshop version, according to the salesman, a case of loading the new one on and it will automatically pick up all my photos from the last one. WRONG!!!! After a few hours of panic that I'd lost all my photos that naturally I had failed to back up, my husband was able to find them on a file someplace hidden :) on my external drive.

I have heaps of craft to show. Mainly chrissy cards but I scanned them and the file is on my old PC so I quickly took some pics of the ones I hadn't sent off yet.

This is an advent calendar I made and gave to my mum. It's made with graphic 45 papers, a kaisercraft calendar and t!m holz crackle rock candy. I copied this :) from Cassie. The papers fit perfectly to the calendar.

Cassie - I can't seem to find anything on your blog - have you changed it? Can you leave me a link in the comments please so I can add it on here for everyone to see your gorgeous crafts.

This page is one of my hubbys and my wedding certificate. I was mucking around one day on the puter and made the background paper with lyrics.

A lot of the baggies and tags I made I had already gifted and forgotten to take photos. The little houses I made 5 of and love them, will def make more - i got the template from the Magnolia magazine.

I did most of my cards as gatefold cards this year, found it was quite simple and got through them pretty quick.

These pics were taken on chrissy eve and were quite rushed - the quality is not so good.
