From a Land Down Under

I'm going to share some of the baby cards I've made this year.  Thankfully none of them are that colour.....

Love this wee Sassy Cheryl bear, and he reminded me so much of Pooh.

Sweet Stampin' Challenge

Morning.

It's time for a new challenge at Sweet Stampin'.

This week our theme is 

Bright and Beautiful

I've got two cards this week as they're both bright - not sure beautiful is the word but I couldn't choose between them so you're getting them both.

The first is a thank you card that I was asked to make for a girl at work's wee boy to give to his nursery teachers as he left to start school!

This second one is the birthday card I made for the much missed boss of Sweet Stampin' Abi. I spent ages trying to get the flowers the way I wanted them and I'm still not sure they're right! I'd be rubbish at flower arranging.

Christmas at Sweet Stampin' Challenge

Hello again.

It's time for a new challenge at Christmas At Sweet Stampin'

As always it's Anything Christmas Goes (this time with the optional theme of trees)

I've used the fabulous Tree Lot from VeraLaneStudio which I've paper pieced to make a fairly simple card. I love it though.

Your Fabulous is Showing

Hello.

Ever realised how many cards you make in a year?! Yeah, just starting to realise it's quite a lot now that I'm trying to share them all.  I think if we don't have new year until March I'll probably get through them (and that's with some that you won't ever see blogged!)

This is a card I was asked to make for someone's sister.  Love this Krista Smith image.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

At the going down of the sun and in the morning 
We will remember them.

Sweet Stampin Challenge

Hello. Blogging this from my phone as I sit trying to defrost from being at Scott's football match. Brrrrrr.

Today's challenge at Sweet Stampin is Make Your Own Background. I was inspired by Snoopy calendar for last Friday. How do you tell a pumpkin that Halloween is over for another year..... I've made the backing by adding lots of one of Vera Lane's Jack O'Lantern images
