Back with challenge #2

My good friend Bron inspired me to have a go at this one as I loved her card on her blog.  I headed on over to the 'Anyone for Anya' challenge only to find that the challenge was to use the colours in your flag.  My first thought was YIKES that's so out of my comfort zone as I almost never use dark blue and I NEVER use it with red...but you know what I kinda like them together! I've also used paper tole on her dress.  The colouring on this is far from perfect, but you know what they say practice makes perfect, so I'll keep trying!

So what do you think?? I know it's not Anya, but it's her friend Dahlia, also from the Greeting Farm:)



Thanks for stopping by. I've had a great day today just pottering about, making some cards and I remembered how much I love it and how relaxing it is for me, so there's bound to be more creations popping up here soon.

til next time

Circle Circus

I've not been feeling so well for the last week or so and my mojo's kinda left the building but I did manage to make a card last night, the first one in a while, so here it is...



Everything in the card is SU. I've used Ski Slope dsp, baja cardstock, kiwi kiss ribbon, kiwi kiss and baja corduroy buttons.  I used emboss resist and my brayer for the flowers, which were made with 'circle circus' and the scallop punch.  The stems are from 'scribble this' and the sentiment is from the hostess set 'best  yet'.

With a bit of luck I'll be feeling tip top in no time and back to doing all the challenges!

Mojo Monday 107

Hi again, hope you're all rugged up and relaxing on this cold Tuesday night here in Melbourne. I'm hoping the sunshine returns soon, it makes me feel so much better and so much more motivated! Kira has an excursion to Healesville Sanctuary tomorrow and she is SO excited (she's our own little Bindi the Jungle Girl LOL). I really hope the weather holds out, it will be such a shame if the class misses out because of bad weather, she'll be so disappointed. Fingers crossed!

As promised I'm back with last weeks Mojo Monday sketch. I went back to a SU favourite for this one...Fifth Avene Floral, love it. It has to be my favourite floral set at the moment.  The other supplies are Old Olive card and ribbon, Ski Slope DSP and white ribbon and pearls. Sentiment is from PTI.



Hopefully this is a more productive week and I'll get to play with all my new stamps.  Who knows I might even finish a Mojo Monday challenge in the right week...a girl can hope can't she;-)

til next time, hugs

Mojo Monday

Oh I almost forgot I actually finished a Mojo Monday challenge.  I'm not entirely happy with it, but what the hey, I'm going with it anyway LOL!

Kiss Challenge

You'd think a 'Keep it Simple, Sweetie' challenge from Pals Paper Arts would be easy , right?  Nope, it took ages! I just couldn't decide what to do.  I'm so used to multiple layers, ribbon and papers that the idea of 'simple' gave me stage fright:-) Anyway once I decided it only took 5 minutes to finish. So here it is...

Supplies: SU Polka Dot Punches & On Your Birthday stamps, SU dsp, SU Pink Pirouette cardstock, SU Rose Red ink.

Thanks for stopping by, hope you all enjoy the weekend.
