Hi all,

Below is half a card that I had started before getting sick. These I am thinking of doing as my thank you cards. So I have about four half made cards sitting on my cardmaking desk. What do you think? Are they boring, too plain or ok?. I must admit in real life the colours are a little darker. But since it's still raining (I swear we've had 3 days of sunshine since the beginning of March!!!)I had to scan the card. I have used bazzil, bazzil dot, & plain card for the construction of this card. The buttons, ribbon & Kindy glitz is the only other things that I have added. I used my Copics to colour the housemouse image. I am trying to keep the colours gender neutral since we don't know what Bug is yet.



Well after two weeks of antibiotics, ventalin & cough syrup. I am finally on the mend. I have gone from a chest infection to what I describe as a bad cold. I even got the ok from my obst, yesterday. Which is such a relief. Consindering I hate taking medicines whilst preggers, I wont even take a panadol for a headache unless I am made to! Today is really the first time in ages that I have felt like doing stuff. I've have been so tired & icky that it's all I can do to get up in the morning. Em though has ben having a great time with her two sets of grandparents on the coast. She has had a sleep over at my Stepmum & Dad's place & then dh's dad & partner have had her for a few days, plus she has been going to preprep as well.

Today we all had a sleep in, which was wonderful. Since getting up I have taken Em's new curtains up so they aren't sitting on the floor. It was a quick job, but I have litterally haven't had the energy to do them. It helped that Doug took them off the rods & then put them back for me.

Well I'm off to do stuff while I feel I can ;) TTFN

Lookie what I got :D

Hi all,

Well I am sooo happy it's sunny outside YAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There are a few clouds in the sky but they are the big fluffy white kind & are few & far between. The sun is out & today looks like its going to be a nice one. Gotta love that :D.

Look at this gorgoeus card that I got from the very lovely & talented Alice. I just love this card & yes it has pride of place near my cardmaking area so I can gaze on it all the time. Although that wont be for much longer, as my LSS Daisychain is going to borrow this card for a little while to display in the shop. Alice has kindly agreed to letting this happen. So thank you very much Alice :D.


This is my card from the equally lovely & talented Kelly. I was lucky enough to be Kelly's person in Deborah's latest CCC challenge. I am so in awe of Kelly's talent with her copics, I love being able to see all that detail in person. In fact this card by Kelly has inspired me to make a card in a simular style.

This is my version of Kelly's card, can you tell ;)? Looks nothing like it I know. I did try what I hope is simular shading on Mudpie & his "eggs" (which are really jellybeans). I also added my trusty diamond glaze to the eggs just for that something extra. You can also check out my flickrstream here for some more pictures of this card.

Thanks for stopping by - TTFN

Card Patterns Sketch 50


Hi all,

This is my take on Card Patterns sketch 50. Once again I am using up scraps. I did make one boo boo on this card. I accidently stuck the bazzil dot on backwards.........baby brain strikes again. I used two K & Co "Wild Saffron" die cuts for the smaller circles. I think this is the first time I have actually used them since I brought them a few years ago. I also used my copics to colour in the House Mouse image. I just love how copics seem to make any image you colour look fantastic. I did miss them whilst they where visiting Charlie (Em's Preprep teacher), but that was a good excuse to add to the colour collection ;D.

Now I have a question for you all :D

What is the ettiquette for card posting? I see on some blogs a list of materials used in each project, also what colour copics where used etc.....

I must admit most of my papers are left overs from scrapbooking projects that I did a long time ago. So of course I have no idea what papers are what. Any help on this subject would be greatly appreciated :D. TTFN
