A cute Wedding card

Well it is Sunday night and I am back to work tomorrow after a week and a half off. I didn't get a lot of cards done but I did clean the kitchen cupboards out and my walk in wardrobe and my craft area, so it wasn't a complete waste of time, but I now have to go back to work for a rest. Sorry Ros, but I know you can work twice as hard to carry me :)

I finished this card tonight and I am very pleased with the way it turned out. It was my first attempt at this layering technique. It was fun to do, even if it was a little time consuming, but I figure the more I do the better and faster I will be at it.

I love this Hangler stamp.





I did the inside very plain, just a verse and kaisercraft pearls in the corners.



Well off to bed and get a good nights sleep for my exciting day tomorrow, I think I might sleep in my uniform cause I am so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Christmas Card with a difference.

It's so nice to have some time off work this week, I am doing a super spring clean and getting some things done that I just haven't had time to do when I am working.
As a reward to myself I have been doing this cute Christmas card with a difference. I uses heavy gold cardstock for the box, Kaisercraft paper for the bow and background under the stamps, and 12 days of Christmas stamps from Penny Black.



I put a candle in the middle as an extra surprise when you open the box, when I do some more I am going to put chocolates instead.
I hope you like this, I love it.

A little bit of card therapy




After a hard day at work I love to just sit and colour some stamps and then decide what sort of cards I am going to make.


These stamps are from Funky kits and Stamping Bella.

Oh no! Work tomorrow already.
















Another weekend nearly over again, and back to work tomorrow. Oh well I suppose it helps to pay for my cards and scrapbooking.










I thought I would put some of my colourful cards on seeing that I had posted some of my black and whites.










I was so excited when my Hanglar Stanglar stamps arrived, I was so lucky to find someone who was selling her collection of them, that I have put two of them on cards.

Quiet Sunday Morning







I love the mornings when everyone else is asleep, it's so peacefull. I took some pics of cards that I have made over the last couple of weeks and decided to put some on to see if I could get the sizing of them right.






These are three black and white ones I did using Copics. The Tilda and gorgus girl stamps were kindly lent to me by Ros.

Well I have finally done some homework and I think I have a little more understanding of this blogger thing. Still heaps to learn though! I have to get the hang of adding photo's, so it will be trial and error for a time.




I made this card for someone who is moving interstate and I think is cute. I used Kaiser paper and a gorgeous little Ketto stamp that arrived in the mail yesterday. I love the Ketto stamps, they are small but gorgeous.
