Retro sketch #17

Hello again! I have recently discovered a great little challenge blog Retro Sketches. Great sketches, really easy to work with a CAS style. I decided to join in this week. Loved using my Cosmo Cricket circa 1934 range and some PTI stamps I've not used yet.

thanks for popping in! :)

Flying High

Hello and thanks for popping in!  Another Clean & Simple card today.......I am noticing that is my style at the moment. I love this flag pole and different flags from MFT!  Now I need to get some itty bitty sentiments.... If I cleaned my scrap room, I reckon I'd find some in my stash...... ;)
Again, I snuck some embossing on this card.. I love my heat gun!!
Go to Scrapbook Boutique for Instructions on how to make this card.

Happy Monday....!!

Who EVER says that LOL!! I am rather happy today..... I went on a great SCRAP RETREAT weekend away with my lovely friends, doing what I love, whilst someone else COOKED delicious meals for me!! what more could you ask for?? My non scrappy friends call me a Nana ( they just don't get it!!) when I got home, my brother popped in, We haven't  seen him for ages as he is from another state,  we had a great night together but he has already gone :( The kids loved seeing him.
Anyway, I did get heaps done and I used the opportunity to take part in some of my fav challenges.
Annabelle's colour challenge #077 and I used Sunday Sketch & Stamps #112 great sketch.

Frosted Designs Card Sketch # 21

WOO HOO! It's Tuesday and there is another gorgeous sketch up over at Frosted Designs.
I have a bit of a love affair with circles and I really have that addictive personality......so yes....MORE EMBOSSING...lol
I got this awesome background stamp from Stampin' Up and I was quite pleased with myself for thinking of only using a small section of this stamp.  Of course I have such a growing collection of Tim Holtz Distress Inks  ( I just HAVE to fill up all the empty spots now don't I...?)

Go and see what the fabulous DT have created....I'm sure you will be inspired!!

Hello there, I hope you enjoyed your long Queen's Birthday Weekend if you were in Australia.  I did! I set myself a goal of cleaning out a shed and garage that has long been used as a 

"Throw it in the garage if you cannot find a home for it..." 

Well it took me two days ......but I finished and they both are immaculate with EVERYTHING in its place!!

SUCH a good feeling! lol

No much crafting was happening though....... but I did get a couple of cards done and I thought I'd join the Annabelle's Plum Blue & Raspberry challenge as well as The Cutie Pie Real or Faux Stitching
