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!

Rain Rain Go Away.......

April Showers is the theme for "Stuck on U Sketches" this Friday.

I have so much fun with these die cut challenges.....using cartridges that have not seen the light of day for a little while:)

LOOK.... the perfect photos..............It rained so heavy that part of our backyard flooded! As you can see, my son had so much fun playing in all the water. 

Here are a few close ups of some of the die cuts.

I can't remember the last time I saw a lovely green tree frog ! In Queensland we have lots of Cane Toads..........so this little guy is one of them. I tryed to make him  pretty ugly, just like the real thing! LOL.

These are the cricut cartridges I used..........

The weather forecast for the weekend is rain...........I hope they are wrong.

Birthday Sundaes

Mary, Mary quite contrary how does your garden grow?

I thought this image would be perfect for our Spring themed challenge this week at "Birthday Sundaes".

I used Nursery Rhymes cartridge for the girl and Heritage for the white fence. The scallop edge paper was cut with Lacy Labels. The crinkle ribbon I dyed  to match the card, some little pearl sprays just make it look pretty........ I think you can just see them in the photo.

Come join us.........Create a Birthday Card with a Spring theme.

Head over to "Birthday Sundaes" and play along .

Have a great weekend

Heart X O...............

LIFE sometimes just gets so busy its hard to find the time to do the things you enjoy!............. All week I've been trying to get back in my craft room. I also have been slightly side tracked, which happens quite often! Anyway I love doily's..........I've have always wanted to learn how to crochet to make my own. So, on Friday Tereesa came over ........we enjoyed wine and cheese and I got my first ever crochet lesson. I must say she is a great teacher and has a lot of patience!  I have been practising ever since.........At  one stage I did consider giving up, thinking I have containers full of vintage doily's that I've collected I'll just cut them up, that would be so much easier. LOL

Anyway that's what I've been up to......................Here is a layout  that I did last night, when I put my crochet hook down...ha ha ha. This picture was taken just before Christmas of Paul and my self,........ we don't have many photo's of us together and I thought this one was quite a nice ........so why not scrap it for Valentines Day!

Challenges I'm entering........
