Easter Basket

Hi Everyone,

Firstly I would like to say welcome to my new followers, when I first started my blog I didn't think I would have 10 followers let alone over 50, so thanks so much I really appreciate each and every one of you.

Now today I have a little Easter Basket to show you...

and I am going to say sorry about the photo's, I am not a good photographer at the best of times and trying to get good pic's of this was difficult.

The images are from the CC Designs Spring has Sprung set, he is such a cute rabbit , don't you think?

and this is the other side, with these cute eggs that are part of the set.

I found the tutorial on how to make these at Stempeleinmaleins they have lots of great tutorials and hints and a lot are in cms which is great for me.

Moving Along with the Times this week would like to see something with Easter Wishes and PaperPlay would like Spring Colours, also Cute Card Thursday has the classic Anything Goes. I am going to enter my basket into all these challenges.

Needless to say most of the chocolates have already been eaten! So lucky I got the pics when I did hahaha.

Sweet Spring!

Hi Everyone,

 I hope you are all going well, and have been having fun in your craft spaces, I know I have today!

I have been working on a card for the brand new challenge blog Sweet Stamping Pixies and for there very first challenge the theme is Spring, now I know here in Aussie land we are heading into Autumn , but I thought this way I can dream about those lovely Spring days , hehehe

Now these are colours that are a bit different for me, but this very pretty Kaisercraft paper called Tea at Elsie's got me started , and then I just couldn't stop lol. I was very happy with the way it all came together.

Here's a close up of the very sweet Swiss Pixie Leisel and her Wheelbarrow and the Swiss Birdhouse.

I have added Clear Spica pen to her wings ,butterflies and the heart , but you can't see it in the photo , grrrr.

All That Scraps Wednesday Challenge is Anything goes so I am going to enter this little sweetie there also.

This is the inside , the dies are a set from Nellie's called Square Lily.

These dies cut beautifully , I use my cuttlebug that I have had since day one, and they cut like a dream.

If you are anything like me , sometimes I am a little scared of brands I don't know , until I read a few reviews , but I was very impressed with this range. So of course I got a couple more lol.

and you can make a button with this set , that matches your card perfectly! Did you see the little cross over on my button , that's card stock , I got this idea from the lovely Pam Sparks, she makes the most beautiful cards and so helpful , you can visit Pam at her blog HERE.

The images , dies , sentiment , leaves all came from Bizzy Bec's Online Store , the images are older lines and so is my DP, But if you are looking for something just email Bec and if it's a company that she keeps she may be able to help you. Bec is wonderful to deal with , so don't be shy , hehehe

Easter Greetings!

Hi Everyone,

Well Easter is just around the corner and I have been working on a card for my friend at work, she has two little girls and I thought they might like Tilda with Eggs in her Apron!

I love Easter cards , they are always so bright and pretty, I have created a little scene with the Magnolia Lovely Fence Die, and have added grass under and on top of the fence, trying to make it look like it's growing through the fence , what do you think ? does it look real , I have also added some clouds for the background.

The Sentiment and the Eggs are from a Crafty Secrets set called Easter Joy.

The Tropical Flourish die is from Cherry Lynn dies and I cut it up to frame my image, the lace along the bottom is also by Cherry Lynn, they have the most beautiful dies!

The DP is from Nitwit collections digi paper, and the little ribbon is from my stash.

Here is a closer look at tilda , don't you just love that hair, so cute!

I have coloured tilda using my copic markers and prisma pencils and the clouds are inked in Memento Summer Sky.

Pixie Sparkle!

Hi Everyone,

I hope you are all well and happy today, it's been a beautiful day here and it's starting to feel like Autumn Yay!

For my card today, I have used a LOT of sparkle!

If you know me then you will know that I normally don't add much glittery things, and now I probably know why , you should have been here to see me in the hugest mess , with glue and glitter and sparkles stuck to just about everything except the card ROFL! but I did get there in the end....

This gorgeous image is from All that scraps and is called Swiss Pixie Lucy and I have teamed her with a

 Make it Crafty  toadstool image.

Her wings have had the glitter treatment as well as the white flower. The pearl border is so bright and pretty irl, it's so hard to get a good pic of sparkles.

The butterfly came from the $2 shop and the lovely lace come from my Mum's stash, she was having a clean out and offered me some laces and ribbons, of course I grabbed them up with glee!

The DP is from Nitwit collections called Promises too, and the cardstock is Stampin up Bashful blue.

I don't have the list of copic's and pencils used , it got lost in the glitter mess hehehe.

Sketch Time at Bizzy Bec's

Hi Everyone,

Well the time is flying by and it's March already! So that means time for a brand new challenge at Bizzy Bec's.

This month the lovely Leonie has put together a fabulous sketch for us to follow.

Now you can turn it (as I did ) flip or rotate it , but we must be able to see the sketch in your project to be eligible for a prize, and you wouldn't want to miss that!

 I have used the adorable Cody Fishing from Bec's Online Store and is available for just $2.00 in digi format. I coloured Cody in Copic's and just a little pencil. The Gone Fishin Sign is from the Dollar Graphics Depot. I also used my template for the clouds  from Bev at All the things I love blog and you can find her blog HERE.

Here is a peek at the inside, following the same theme.

I usually don't do many boys cards, but this one just seemed to work for me, 

I have sponged around all the edges with Memento Summer Sky.

Not a Card!

Hi Everyone,

Well it's been another flat out week , and thank goodness tomorrow is Friday!

I have been trying to finish this project all week and finally got there today, MDUC this week asked for a colour combo of Pink , Orange and White, rather groovy I think lol.

I haven't done anything like this before , but I picked up this little box at the reject shop for $4 and decided to give it a go, it's for my daughter , she is always loosing bobby pins and hair clips , so I made this for all her pins and things to be in one place! Hopefully .......

It's a wooden box with a glass panel in the top where I have used DP , Doily and Tilda.

This is the inside, which I kept pretty simple, because it's for pins.

Here is a side view, I have used a Cherry Lynn Die and some ribbon from my stash.

This beautiful wood flourish is from Make it Crafty and was a free gift when I placed an order recently, I have painted it with Kaisercraft Hot Pink .

I would like to enter the following Challenges

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #135 - Colour Combo Pink , Orange & White

Just Magnolia Challenge #145 - Romantic Doily

Allsorts Challenge Blog - It's your choice

7kids College Fund Challenge Blog #42 - Not a Card

I don't have a recipe for this little box , I didn't even write down the copic markers I used,

as I said before it's been one of those weeks, we have had a sick dog and it's been a real worry , but I think he has turned a corner now and is on the road to recovery.

I hope you are all well and happy out there in blog land, and thanks for stopping by and leaving me such wonderful and kind comments.

PS. Have you seen the amazing candy Jacque has on her blog!!!! Check it out here on the top right hand side bar and follow the link.
