Hello
 I am mooching  in my craft room...cant sleep so thought I would make a card then try again. I found this  lovely  May  Gibb stamp of gumnut babies..   soo  very  Australian.. right now the kookaburra's are laughing outside my window... its  4.30 am... they are never late.lol...
 I have so enjoyed making these cards .. they are more fun than the usual ones...
Was thinking its  time to  start getting things together for christmas cards.. yikes! where has  the year flown to..

Ok off for a snooze... see you  all later!

great!

SWEET!   lol  your's  is in th mail too Olga!

Kate and Sandy's engagement card

made very  quickly.... a cream textured Card   layered with gold CS Basic Grey  Capella  paper. nesties  labels and oval.. stamp from  my  collection.  I just love the old world charm of the Capella  papers  from  Basic Grey... will be using them  quite a lot .

Birthdays birthdays!

This weekend has seen 4 family birthdays  ! my lovely twin GD's  21st , my daughter, and my birthday .  so lots  of travel to get everyone together and a brilliant  dinner at a fabulous restaraunt overlooking the beach!
Then to top it all  Kate (on the left ,twin 1)  announced her engagement to Sandy.... perfect....the little card  I made very quickly  so that she would have  it at her birthday.

this looks more like the aftermath of a bush fire.. anyway .. Its  photo paper  brayered with yellow. then Tangello  post it note torn to create hills  outline which were sponged on with Desert sand then layered  again b elow the hills and sponged with black.
the sun was created by  punching a circle from a  post it note  and sponging over it. the  trees were  drawn in with a dewdrop  memento black  ink pad.  the card  then  layered on yellowCS and then forest green CS.

time to get on with some more cards

I have only just got back into the swing of things after our big annual concert. must think of some ideas for cards for the little ones in my daughters family day care..
In the meantime i have been experimenting with the Michelle Zindorff brayered cards.. really addictive. this one started out as a sunrise but looks more like the aftermath of a bush fire.
