Christmas, MojoMonday, Winter wonderland

 

Today I would have like to make a few more cards but the house packing is much more important and so today I started on my craft stuff.....I have to decide what to pack to go home and what small amount I can fit into the caravan....it's so hard, I can't take all my stamps or cardstock or embellishments....oh decisions, decisions.  Any I did take some time this afternoon to make another Christmas card using this weeks MojoMonday layout 243 I like the soft colours and bright red splash and I used a holly stamp for my image so I can post it on Winter Wonderland this week with the theme -HOLLY. Thanks for taking a peek

Our Creative Corner

This is a card in progress.....thanks to Sue for her helping and encouraging comments on my other card I decided to make my friends birthday card "Shabby Chic" too and I just checked the close time on the blog - 3 minutes - so I quickly laid the card together and snapped off a pic - just made it by the skin of my teeth...so will now post some more pics when I've finished....

 

  

Here now is the finished card...inspired by Monia - her cards are gorgeous. I'm thrilled with the result and I'm sure my friend will be rapt. 

I've had a lovely afternoon chatting on Skype with Vikki and thank her for her company- she's been really creative too so check out her work. Thanks for taking a peek and enjoy your weekend. 

Christmas, retro sketches, colourQ, Our Creative Corner

  

Happy Friday friends, and here's another Christmas card to add to my growing pile (40+ now). I used retro sketches rs#13 for my layout and the ColourQ #139 colour combination to make this card. I think it might also just creep into the Shabby Chic theme for the Our Creative Corner challenge - I'm not so good at shabby chic but really do like the effects and admire many cards made by others. Thanks for taking a peek

Christmas, the Sweet Stop Sketch, Winterwonderland Challenges

 

Morning from windy Karratha. I just felt like making a card this morning so nothing else is done...dishes still in the sink <grin>. I've used the Sweet Stop blog sketch SSS160 and am also posting it on the Winterwonderland challenge  -  "Sing a Song" which requires the card to including singing.!! Thanks for taking a peek

80th Birthday card

Here's a card I've made this morning for my Aunts 80th birthday - I'm very happy with it and want to thank Wanda for her inspiration - choosing the colours was my first dilemma but finally decided I wanted to use one of these ribbon roses, then discovered I had some green and white flocked card....and wellllaa  Thanks for taking a peek

Christmas, Less is More

 Hi blog visitors....very slow today, and finding it hard to grasp my mojo - possibly has something to do with working a full week (not part time as I usually do) and having to stocktake the whole store and reserves - anyway now at least it's over for another 12 months.  I do really need to make my aunt an 80th birthday card so thought I might get a boost by having a go at this weeks Less is More challenge #69 to make a card that's not square or rectangle...so I've used one of my dies to make a frame for this Christmas bear. Thanks for taking peek

Christmas, retro sketches #12

 

I liked this weeks retro sketch rs#12 and didn't want to miss posting a card (been stocktaking at work this week -yuk) so here's my quick mornings effort...another for my Christmas stack. Thanks for taking a peek

Christmas, Freshly Made Sketches #35

 

How do you like my little Scarlet Cardinal....was wondering what sort of embellishment I could add finish off this card and the cheekly little cardinal seemed a little different.  I've found another new sketches challenge blog -Freshly Made Sketches, and used it to base my card on - I'm not ever really sure about these triple panel cards but Karen's card from Altered Scrapbooking helped me along..thank you Karen.  Thanks for taking a peek....see you next week.
