Negleted stamp!

I wanted to join in with The Sugar Bowl this week so this made me dig through some very loved but negleted stamps!

Since I've been doing a lot of digital images, I then don't seem to open the draw of rubber stamps!

I found this Sugar Nellie stamp-Little Miss Attitude and knew I wanted to make a card using her. Isn't she just a brat!!

I also followed the sketch at The Sugar Bowl this week.

It was so much fun to use one of my dear 1st stamps I ever purchased :)

I'm entering this card in....

The Sugar Bowl Challenge

Papertake Weekly Challenge

I'm also having some fun back at my desk again making cards 'just because'!! It's been soooo long since I've just sat and created because 'I wanted to".

I hope you're all having a lovely weekend.

I'm still sick but out there painting while the sun shines :)

Playing in The Sugar Bowl

I've just had some spare time while hubby took my youngest out for shopping time at the 'Boys Toy Shop!'. lol. So of course I didn't waste it and played with my craft goodies!

Finally got this gorgeous Sugar Nellie image coloured up which I got quite a while back. Her name is Joy!

I've followed Maria's sketch over at The Sugar Bowl this week so I'm going to enter my card there!

Visit again soon to see my Pollycraft Card for this week's challenge!

All about Bec

I was so excited to receive my new stamps in the mail yesterday from Bec. (link in sidebar).

I have some more Magnolia's (yes Kellie, my stash has doubled!) and a couple of the new Whiff Of Joy City Girls.

Also in my package, Bec had stamped some extra images for me. So generous.

I was thrilled when I saw this one.

I will have to go searching for her again to find her name. I nearly purchased this one a little while back as I fell in love with her instantly.

Late note: Thanks to the lovely Dena, she reminds me this is 'Raven' from Sugar Nellie. Thanks Dena!

Not sure why but I think it's for my love of accessories such as scarves, coats and hats. I so wish I could wear the gorgeous winter hats but they almost make me look criminal! I try different ones on every season just to see if any of the new styles suit. One day I will find MY hat!

Ahum, anyway, back to the card!

I completed the card with a cardmaking kit that I also got from Bec's online store a little while back. I love these packs as it takes the 'guess work' out of it for you. I coloured the image to match the paper and then 'wha laa'.

A big 'Hi' to Vicki who popped in yesterday for 'copic therapy'. It was a fun morning as she was here when my new stamps arrived so of course we had to ink them up! Thanks for the 'adult' conversation ;)

Look what I received this morning!

This was from the very talented (and my dear friend) Jackie.

Thanks gorgeous! Love ya. xo

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

My Daughter's Creation

When I was trying to finish the Wedding card below, my 13 yr old daughter sat beside me begging me for something to colour. Miki (Mikaela) also loves the Gorjuss Girl stamps and so picked this one.

I let her loose on some papers and she helped herself to my inks. This is what she came up with. I was very proud of her. She sat quietly and completed it with only a couple of questions. She wants to give it to her 'bestie' for her birthday but she now has to wait until December to pass it on. She has already written on the inside or I would show you that too as she has decorated that also with the same paper as on the front. Her favourite parts were the bright yellow boots and the buttons. (mmmm, I love buttons too!)

Well done sweetie!!

Teenager Card

Another teenager. Wow I'm starting to feel really old now. I've been there since the day Joshua was born and now he's going to be 13 this week. Where has the time gone?

I've used the SK8R Boy stamp again from Sugar Nellie. Yeah o.k I should find some different boy stamps but I like how this one turns out.

I've coloured this image again using my watercolour pencils and then sponged the edges. I embossed the letter J, sponged it all and used dimensionals to put it all together.

I keep saying how October is our busy birthday month but it looks like September is quite busy as well.

Thanks for stopping by..

SK8R Boy

This is another sugar nellie stamp called 'SK8R Boy'. I've watercoloured this one using watercolour pencils but I forgot to stamp onto watercolour paper first, so it didn't turn out too flash but I still like it. I hope Toben will too as it's for his birthday today. "Happy Birthday Toben". Yes another male card and yes this one is also being sent down to Victoria.

I hope everyone is enjoying their Friday. Friday is my favourite day, just before the weekend!

Just a Girl

Wow, it has been quite awhile since my last post. I made this card quite some time ago and wasn't sure if I really liked it or not. Orange is not one of my favourite colours but I gave it a go. I'm in love with the Gorjuss stamp range and have purchased a few more, so now that things around here have settled for the moment I might get some stamping time in.




I've sent this card home with a very good friend of mine from Victoria who just visited with me last week. Hi Jay. It's her daughter Toni's birthday this week, so "Happy Birthday Toni". It's so great to have friends and family come all that way to visit but when they have to leave is always the hardest moment. :( A special note for you Kerri, I will be visiting Vic the first 2 weeks of October so I can't wait to chat over that lunch we've been planning for so long now.



Sorry for being a bad blogger and I hope to get something new up for you soon. I've been keeping an eye out on all of you so I know you've been busy.

Little Goth Girl

Well I said I'd be back with a fun project and this was definitely fun.

I had a colouring lesson from my patient friend Jackie. I coloured this beautiful "Little Goth Girl" with the help from Jackie of course, and this is how it turned out. I just love the Gorjuss girl collection so I will keep practicing so I can show you some more. As you've probably guessed from my blog already, I love pink, green and buttons.

Hopefully I will be able to bring you something soon but I have my little girl still fighting off some kind of bug and not doing so well. We are into day 4 and she's still not eating but drinking plenty of fluids so I'm not too worried just yet. (her Daddy is though, so cute).
