Very sorry about the long pause to my blogging....again.... Life gets in the way.

My apologies.

Occasionaly I will be given something and I think that I will use it to make something crafty and the item will sit and sit for ages and I will not use it. Then one cool winter day I get creating and use it. Today I pulled out the white plastic sticker sheet that was given to me and ran it through the Big Shot and made the "tweet and bird" below. It was great....no need for any adhesive on the fiddly "tweet" wording....I love quick cards.



 

 Brooke made this tag at the markets on the weekend. I couldn't resist adding it to my card below.

 Love these papers....prima almanac collection

Mother's Day is coming soon.

Just a little reminder that Mother's Day is just around the corner and you should get your crafting gear out and make your Mum a very special card. Here's a few ideas to get you started.

 

 I asked my hubby which one he liked best.

Can you guess?

Leave me a comment.

Hope to here from you!

 

 

 

 Could not resist snapping this sunset yesterday.

Have fun making your Mother's Day card.

Dinosaurs

Quick and very easy to make! These cards were made with some stickers from the cheap shop, the big shot machine and some papers.

For this orange card, I used the big shot machine to cut out the circle, I inked the edge of the circle, stamped a greeting and attached the dinosur sticker.

For this blue card, I cut out the scallop circle and embossed the greeting using the big shot.

In this green card I used the dotty embossing folder to give my background a lift. I also embossed the greeting onto plain bazzill. Super simple...but I think that a little dinosaur lover will love any of these cards.

Enjoy!

Creating In the Pink Zone!

Hi...I must have been in my pink zone for these cards.

 

I cracked open a new set of embossing folders. See dots and sentiment's below. Cranked up the handle on the Big Shot and got creating some pink cards.

 

These could be my favourite colours for this month.....maybe??

 

 

I may have to make my Mum a Mother's Day Card in these colours this year.

 

 

Have you made anything pink lately?

Round Tags

Happy Australia Day!

I want to share some tags that I made with the Big Shot and the largest round die and the embossing folders. All you have to do is fold your card in half, place the round die on top of the card but leave a space over the fold of the card to keep the back and the front of the card still attached.

Run the top of the card through the embossing folder of your choice and then simply decorate. I also ran the flower through the embossing folder for a cool texture.

Hope you all have a great Australia Day...a little overcast here so we are hoping that that wet stuff will fall from the sky.

Which one's your favourite?

Hi There Everyone,

I am back from a wonderful stay at the Sunshine Coast. Just not long enough. The weater at the coast was amazing....32oC. Then we come home to a 40oC day and you really notice it.

Thank you so much Brooke for looking after our family dog and farm!!

Before I went away I was going to blog about these cards that I made......but blogger had different ideas. It is still being temperamental...so I had to go around the problem....Anyway here they are.

 

It is a little hard to see but the spotty black and white paper is flocked paper and feels great.

I like the colours in this card....odd but I think that it works.....

I love the cute little bow on this card.

Tried to make a manly card.

I am really into butterflies at the moment....and dot's as usual....
I will be back soon with a post about Nicola's quilt. Nicola got her quilt while we were at the coast. I think she liked it....a bit hard to tell.
Which is your favourite card? Leave me a comment, I'd love to hear from you.

Add a banner to your title....

Hi there,

I have made a scrapbook page using the idea of a banner as the title. Using the Big shot, I cut out some fancy edged circles and folded over the tops on a piece of string, add some texture with the Big Shot, ink the edges of the circles, attached some letter stickers, tied some cute little bows on the ends and hung my banner. I think this is such an easy title idea.

 

 here.....I used the same idea of a banner but have used some cute little monsters as the flags.

Happy Crafting.

Purple...anyone!!

I must have been feeling rather "purply"!! I think that the owl is rather cute. I have used the big shot to cut out the circles and add the texture to the cards. Have to go craft now....See you soon. Gayle
