Footy Birthday

Miserable day here in Adelaide, lots of rain and cold as well. I had my hair dome early this morning and then I was off to the chiropractor for a bit of torture, my arthritis does not like this weather at all! This afternoon I visited Shirley for a craft workshop, we made three great cards which I will share another time, the time went very quickly and she had bought some lovely Jelly Cakes as a special treat to go with the cappuccino - she is becoming quite the barista!! I needed to make a card for a male friend who is into Aussie Rules but I could't find an image to use so I've gone with a rugby image and used his teams colours. I'm off to make some minestrone soup as it's Emma's favourite and she will be hungry after a five hour drive home tomorrow.

Time for Cake

Busy morning as I had to sort out our Super before June 30, I had trouble with Internet banking so I had to go into the branch - a pain in the neck! Then it was home to tidy up a bit before craft. We had a very chatty group and Sandy was most impressed with herself as she completed a card today - normally she just colours images in readiness! Sandy has found some lovely cookies which she has been bringing the last few weeks - a real treat! Joyce and Sandy had found a mag with great male stamps as the give away so I went down to Arndale and managed to get them after everyone had left, I'm looking forward to looking at it later.

I made a card for this weeks {lollipop Ladies} Challenge.

From Me to You

Back to normality today. John is off to Melbourne for the Home Show and I'm back at work, The fishing trip was a bit of a write off - John was sick and when he did fish, he didn't catch anything! However, I got a good bargain at Halls Gap in a little shop - I got a decorative tile and metal frame for $35 instead of $70 so I was quite pleased. I also stopped off in a little craft shop in Horsham and found some Graphic 45 Hampton Art Stamps I didn't have. It's our 33rd Wedding Anniversary in a couple of weeks so I thought I'd make a card for John.


Tonight's post is for this weeks Less is More Challenge

I stamped the image in black onto the card, then in real red onto paper and used my blender pen to colour in the dress, I then cut out the dress and pieced it onto the card. I used black card  as a matt for the scan.

Crafting With Shirley

Thank for dropping by, we are away at Lake Fyans in Victoria for a trout fishing competition, for hubby John, he was really sick with a cold the first day so he didn't fish, but he has been out today so hopefully he catches a fish! The girls all got together and we have visited local shops and a winery and bought a few goodies! I haven't been able to craft so I am sharing the cards I made at my last workshop with Shirley .

Shiny & Bright

Second Post for today but I have to finish cleaning up (putting away all my crafting stuff) as hubby gets back from overseas tomorrow and I am going to Mum's for tea tonight.
This is my entry for this week's:

Less is More Challenge Week 72 - Something Shiny

I scanned the card first, but you couldn't see the shine, then I took umpteen photos as it kept reflecting everything and you could see me in the silver!! This is the best of the bunch but still has some light reflected on the top.

Recipe:

Nestie Die Cuts - it didn't like cutting through the silver card as it is a bit thicker.

SU Stamp from Happy Moments

Ink - SU Basic Black and Silver Jelly Pen for colouring in on presents

Casing Delys

Quick post with my card for this weeks Just Add Ink Challenge, this is an unusual Challenge (for me anyway!) - you have to go to one of the Design Team - Delys's blog and case one of her cards / creations.

Delys Card - Cased

This week at Just Add Ink we are focussing on our very own Delys Cram. Delys is a very talented papercrafted who loves to scrapbook, make 3D projects and beautiful cards. She is also very generous in sharing her ideas and talents with others. So go on and check out Delys blog here, find something of hers that inspires you and then CASE her project 

I have matted the card on black for the scan. I cut the fishtail out by hand and then whilst blog hopping last night Mary J had a cheats way of getting them perfect - see her tutorial here - I wish I'd seen it first! I think  I like Delys white on white version better, but this is for my teenage niece who is into pink and bling!

Hi There

Chilly day here, but I got to have a nice sleep in before getting up to do the chores and go shopping. I bought some new white card and also cut up some other card and then scored a heap so I have my card bases done for the next while. I had a nice chat with Emma who is in Mt Gambier - she is finishing off her reports this weekend and has to get the house tidy as her new flat mate is coming to stay for a couple of days before moving to Mt Gambier for next term.
I had to look out some old scrap-booking magazines for my parents as they have decided to scrap their overseas holiday from last year and wanted some ideas on layouts. I haven't done any scrapping since I started card making!
