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.

miss Sophie

this is my darling GD Sophie Alexandra... aged 5 going on 50.love of my life.
so smart. Also known as mini matron..she was a gem when I broke my ankle.. always there with a cushion and asking do you want a drink nana..its such a joy to watch her growing up

its winter..cold and wet.. not had time to make cards too much practising for the big concert on July 3rd
still have time to take a quick peak at all the talented galleries.. what an incredible array of talent!
see you soon.

I have been so busy this last few weeks hardly time to turn around!... our local line dancing group have been busy with the Blue Water country festival... thankfully the rain held off.and our choir sang at the concert. So ... i am now able to sit and reflect on what i want to try next.. gotta say that brayering is something i want to try again.. have you seen the works of art from Michelle Zindorf... truly magical...
ok have a good weekend .
