Crazy 4 Challenges C4C99



Well I certainly woke up this morning with a crazy idea....the C4C challenge was to make a Shape it up card.....one away from the normal, rectangle/square shape...so here's my soda glass party invite card - representing the Aussie Spider (soft drink with ice cream added) - mine's a pink lemonade spider.  I embossed a sheet of acetate and lined it with pink card and embossed froth topped it with a 3D flamingo to which I attached a small long spoon (didn't have any straws!!). I had fun making it and it was interesting to see how well the acetate embossed. Have a super week, thanks for taking a peep.

Fathers' Day Cards



With Fathers' Day coming up here in Australia, I'm happy to have my two cards made....not too imaginative when it comes to male cards and must say I'm limited with my stamps...the old Holden Ute is from my stash of pre-stamped images :)

Mojo 203, RobVik #12, Our Creative Corner


Whoopee - Three challenges in one, and finished on a Friday!! yeah!!!
That gorgeous autumn leaf for the RobVik challenge was my inspiration this week and with the OOC challenge 
http://ourcreativecorner6.blogspot.com/2011/08/oh-flowers.html , asking you to use these beautiful spring flowers BUT no flowers on your card, this leaf came instantly to my mind, and the Mojo layout just happened to suit everything - you can guess I'm happy with my finished card. I gave the main autumn leaf a glossy finish with Dimensional Magic and again used some micro beads..... I do love autumn. Thanks for taking a peek.

Our Creative Corner - Red and Aqua challenge, Mojo 202

 Here we are again enjoying a quiet weekend at my craft desk while hubby is away enjoying himself playing golf. Today I've created a card for two challenges - the usual and much enjoyed Mojo challenge and a Red and Aqua theme for Our Creative Corner - http://ourcreativecorner6.blogspot.com/2011/07/red-and-aqua-color-challenge_30.html - pop along and check out the super cards the ladies make at this blog.
This one is a bit of fun with the snazzy shoe as the focus - way to high for my feet, I go for comfort nowdays.
Thanks for having a peep, enjoy your weekend too :)
Now to add some more cards to my Christmas stack.....

Mojo 201

Well that was a close call...wasn't sure I'd get my card posted on Mojo this weekend.....we have had visitors and lucky for I'd been working on my card during the week and just needed to put it all together today. Another Christmas card to all to my pile...I am pleased it is growing but this week I have two birthday cards to make, maybe the new Mojo will help :-)  Have a great week and thanks for checking out my cards.
