I could not resist playing along with the "White + 1" challenge this month.

More Holiday photos.......this one was taken at 'Capitola'. It is famous for its colored homes.

I had fun stamping and water coloring the background.

Hey Everyone,

I can't believe its been two weeks since I posted last! I have spent a lot of my time working on my holiday photos from our trip to Canada and America last year. You could say I'm kinda on holidays again........two of my children and my husband are in Canada at the moment visiting family. Hardly any house stuff to do!!

Today I have two DT projects to show you.....

Look at this fun inspiration photo for 'The Shabby Tea Room'

Fun Blooms

The design team were given cut files to use from

  The Cutting Cafe  .....sponsor for this challenge.

I chose this cute fish bowl......I had fun shabbying it up with lots of glitter, sequins,  some flowers and leaves that I made using 'Flower Shoppe' Cricut cartridge.

........................................................................................

My Second project is for 'Stuck on U Sketches' Die cuts

Home Sweet Home is the challenge

One thing that I really enjoy is spending time in the garden. Its Autumn in Australia now ........these photos were taken last week just after it rained. My camellia's and gerbera are in full bloom, they look so pretty.

I made the butterflies from paper clay . Can you see  the embossed background.....it an embossing folder from Maggie Holmes. Love how it turned out!

Die cuts.... Simple Pleasures - Cricut - Country Life, the chicken wire and feather.

This is the fun sketch I followed from 'Stuck'

Oh my gosh......what a long post, I hope you made it to the bottom.

Have a great week and thank you for visiting :)

2 Cards.....

Hello.......so nice of you to visit:)

Today I have two DT projects to show you.

The first one is for 'The Shabby Tea Room'

Pretty in Pink......create a card/project inspired by the photo! Love this gorgeous photo, sometimes I like to try and re-created it!

Here is what I came up with..........Love the Bokeh backgrounds you see around at the moment. I had lots of fun using water colour paper and paints to create the background. I cut myself a variety of circle stencils then stamped with white ink......I'm really happy with how it turned out.

I cut the bike out from Heritage cricut cartridge, ran it through the xyron to create a sticker then added lots of sparkle.

My daughter thought she would like this card framed.

I'd like to link up with "House of Cards" May challenge...Bokeh effect

I look forward to seeing your pretty projects in The Shabby Tea Room

.....................................................

My next card is for 'Stuck on U Sketches' Die cuts.

The challenge is 'Mothers'......I created a card for Mothers Day.

The oval frame and overlay were both cut using cricut ArtBooking cartridge. "LOVE" is a stamp from 'Paper Sweeties'

 Lots of my fav things....buttons, pearls, flowers, ribbon...the scallop ribbon border is a gorgeous velvet.

I also played along with this months challenge from 'Sketchy Boards'. I chose to base my card on the colours in the gorgeous photo...Yellow and Green. I hope to find some time to do a layout with this great sketch.

Kind of a long post for me........happy Monday to you, enjoy your week!

Birthdays

Hey Everyone,

It been a bit busy around here with Birthdays.....so I've been making cakes and a few decorations.

This is the card I made for my daughter....she really likes the colour yellow at the moment. I cut the daisy from white glitter paper, punched out the stamens from a dictionary and then added a daisy earing for the center. The heart is from George cricut cartridge.

Chocolate cake with lots of Candles

My son requested a 'Lemon Poppy seed cake'. I Used Art philosophy to cut Happy Birthday from white glitter card

The Banner is all Glittery too.......from Cricut Martha Stewart All Occasions Cake Art

Hope you have enjoyed a fabulous week
So nice of you to stop by
