This year is flying past! I cannot believe it is August already! We had a colour challenge this month – we had to use Lost Lagoon, Moody Mauve and Pecan Pie. I have had a little bit more time on my hands since I broke my wrist a few weeks ago, but it has been […]
This month we had a layout challenge. I used Circle Sayings and the accompanying circle punch and added Bright and Beautiful DSP. On one card, I cut a strip off the right hand side front and the other one just has the DSP turned over. I used Bubble Bath and Azure Afternoon as the bases […]
This month for our Blog Hop, we were given a colour challenge using two designated colours and one of our own choice. The colours were Flirty Flamingo and Starry Sky. I also chose Daffodil Delight. I used the stamp set called ‘Coffee with Friends’. I love this set and I know many of us love […]
This month for our Blog Hop, the theme is ‘Anything Goes’. I love some of the new colours in the new catalogue and anyone who knows me will know that my favourite colour is Blue and any shades of Blue into Teal. I decided to use Cheerful Daisies for this blog Hop. The base is […]
This month our challenge was to use a layout to create a card. I decided to make a sympathy card as a friend lost his mother this week. I used the ‘By the Bay’ suite again for this card. You might notice that I love this suite. I’m sad that it will soon be retired. […]
I have been so busy with my ‘By the Bay’ suite that I have neglected using some of my other stamp sets!! I got out my Fancy Flora Suite yesterday, and I am now enjoying creating with this so much. I love the DSP and the stamp set. There are no sentiments with this stamp […]
Our Blog Hop #52 is a colour challenge using Pale Papaya, Parakeet Party and Pool Party. I have had a swatch of all three cardstock colours sitting on my table for a few days and kept looking at them – trying to get inspiration!! Today – a little before the blog is due, I had […]
I have had lots of fun playing with the By the Bay suite! For a week or so, I had this idea in my head to make a 3D card and when I woke up last Friday, I went straight to my craft table and put the ideas into action! I wanted to create a […]
This month we have had a new challenge that I don’t think we have done before! It is called ‘Tic Tac Toe’. Like the game you need to get three in a row – horizontally, vertically or diagonally. I have used Heat Embossing, Designer Series Paper and Dies for my challenge. Two of my grandchildren […]
When I saw ‘By The Bay’ suite at Onstage, I was immediately drawn to it. I love blues and I could see so many possibilities. I love watching the waves and sitting by the beach reflecting on the magnificence of the scene in front of me (in all weathers!), so I really wanted to make […]
