....thanks so much

another card. this one is my acceptance card to my brothers engagement
party. i have embossed on the vellum! didnt think u could til i watched a you tube vid. u just have to be careful if doesnt get too hot. i used a autumn leaves stamp for the stem (its supposed to be a vine for a monkey i think), prima flowers (how many addictions can one girl have) and another cute hero arts stamp (hmm, another one)....i think i need counselling.

i like it ...sort of

as much as i love green and black, its a bit harsh on my eyes, so its boring old stark white now. does anyone know how i can get my sideshow to play in the side bar cause it just wont work.

this bird is so cute, isn't he!!!!!

i love this frame

Here's a pic of the kaisercraft frame that I did for http://www.chandoncraft.com.au/ . I covered this with basic grey ambrosia papers. I love them, so vibrant. The photos were taken on my sisters 30th birthday, that's her (Gumby) and my nephew.

click on it for a better look :)

happy birthday mum

well its my mother in laws birthday 1st september....and the cards in the mail....almost.

i am so awful with these things the last couple of years, always seem to be a couple of days
behind. i used the back of k and co wild saffron paper, kelly poloston paper and prima flowers. the stamp is from a set that i think is 'stamp it'.

Basic Grey

....not really been a fan, some lovely papers but didnt know what to do with them and not quite me.....until now. The new basic grey is so gorgeous. I have finished a kaiser frame for chandon in 'ambrosia', gorgeous orange papers and last night I had a play with basic grey 'Eva'

....and a couple of close ups

just thought id throw this one in, its another acetate card, this time for a swap on the Chandon Craft forum, am loving this colour combo atm.

last weeks layouts and cards

Thought I would post some layouts that i did for chandon craft last week

This one is with the new Jenny Bowlin paper and stickers.




















It may be a bit premature but it will be here in no time. i did a christmas layout with a fancy pants glitter cut. I really love how simple this one is.





This layout is of my mum when she was a toddler. I used pink paislee and kimberley poloston papers and gorgeous prima flowers

I also made a few cards last week, going to try and do more of these cause there's a few techniques i want to practice on.

My step mothers birthday card, my first go at using ouderless mineral spirits (i think this is what a lot of the american blogs are refering to as gamsol) to colour instead of water colours.

Jords birthday card which was made at midnight the night before cause I'd forgotten to make one.

This little tin i think had prima flowers in it at one stage. ive stamped 'woo hoo 30' in it for my sisters birthday last week. I did copy this from the hero arts blog, no where near as good as theirs but she liked it.

Dads fathers day card, pretty dodgy pic,

hard to see the sewing.

The elephant card i made just because. I used the mineral spirits (seems to be refered to as the magic pencil technique) hard to see again but i stamp extra flowers and foam dotted them and the butterfly so they're 3d, also stickled the flowers.

This little card was made after seeing the lamb on another blog that was linked to Chris Millers. heres a link to the original, i just really wanted to have a go at the lamb. http://scrapbookgirl.typepad.com/paper_scissors_and_superh/2008/08/ahhh-where-were-we.html

talk soon

Just a quick 'hi'

My isp is driving me insane tonight and i keep dropping out but i just wanted to post a pic of this. It's a gift bag I made yesterday morning for my sisters birthday present. Its just made with bazzill and kaiser pearls and the beautiful Kimberly Poloston papers, the butterflie is cut out of these papers too.
