Merry Christmas

Hello and I'm wondering if there are other crazy people out there that have 3 or 4 cards on the go and then end up creating a whole new one - just like I did with this card for CAS(E) this Sketch CTS#58.  I'm just a few days back at my desk after a months holiday and busy checking out different challenges I'd like to tackle and on the way I see other bloggers and more techniques, soI stop have a go or piece together some coloured card, dies cuts, ribbon etc and so now I have little groups congregating on my desk....waiting!!This sketch was great for the new stamp I got over the break from Chocolate Baroque...Cheers and thanks for taking a peek,  Robyn

Smile.....a beautiful day

 Another quick card from me this afternoon - a long one to fit a business envelope, using the Dynamic Duos #85 - Summer Starfruit and Garden Green    :-(     no stamping on this card as I just wanted to use this sentiment strip from a paper pack I have and the colour suited well. I've done some rearranging of my workspace and put all my flowers into jars on my desk also jars of ribbons so I can see them and use them. I think we're off for a late afternoon swim at the beach now to cool off. Thanks for taking a peek Robyn

celebrate just living

Happy, happy, happy here in Australia...the Aussie cricket team have just won 'the Ashes' back from the Poms in a 5 match  whitewash...yeah!!

So quietly I've been making a card in the background using the layout from Freshly Made Sketches #117 and the colour theme from Less is More #153 - Winter Blues.  Just used a few scraps from my blue card drawer and diagonally scored the background on my Scorepal.  Cheers and thanks for taking a peek

SOS #132: Use The Last of Something

Hello blog visitors/card markers....it's been a while since I made a card for Mojo Monday so it's nice to be back .   playing along with #326.  I made this background paper with some left over distress ink I had on my pad and the card evolved around those colours, my card's not actually square but I hate cutting of the background paper. I used to make these little wire dragon flies ages ago and found this last one in my old trinket box - so I'm adding my card to the challenge at Shopping Our Stash #132   Cheers and thanks for taking a peek  Robyn

A favourite 2013 card

Just Add Ink..."2013" A Year in Review!

Hi there this fine Sunday morning.....glad to be back at my desk, spending me time doing what I love. I noticed Just Add Ink had a challenge to just post a favourite card from the past year and this turned out to be a great time to reflect over the many different cards I've made, some with special people in mind others just because I'm addicted. There were too many favourites but I've decided on this one and it probably reflects my style and me as a person. I love the colours, the layers, the lace and little touch of bling  and of course I love flowers.  Hope you're enjoying your weekend, thanks for taking a peek Robyn

sending SMILES

 

Recently I bought this new die or rather a stitching stencil by Ann's Paper Art and it works a treat in my cuttlebug. I'm playing along with the colour scheme at Pals Paper Arts PPA186 and I'm liking  these colours for a change, the flower is from Chocolate Baroque and I've touched it up with some ink and gold inference powder.  Thanks for taking a peek and hope you've having a creative good time this weekend.

Memories

 

So my second card from my desk today ...from very hot Yeppoon - 34C, is one titled Memories (just to get away from the Christmas cards) I've made it for my in-laws to send down as a thank you with some great grandparent photos (Sophie is their first grandchild). I've used the layout from Unscripted sketches #237 and Cas-ual Fridays CFC125 - In a Word.  Cheers and thanks for taking a peek

Cute Owls Merry Christmas

 Hi fellow card makers...and Happy New Year. Can't believe the first card I've made for 2014 is a Christmas card - thought I was over them for a bit after making 70 cards, but my stamping friend Vikki (who's skyping with me this afternoon) has been all inspiring and  hence my card for Merry Monday #88 - they are wanting some sort of animal - fortunately for me a paper pack from a magazine freebie had these cute owls and this is my very first paper tole card using bits supplied - I did actually stamp the sentiment and background so don't feel like I cheated.
