Cardabilities Sketch # 63

Hello and welcome back for a new Cardabilities card Sketch #63

As usual, I love the sketch and as usual..... I have rotated the sketch to suit what I wanted to do....  

That is why I love sketches!!

I just love this MB whimsy die.  I have used it a couple of times and  It would have to be up there as one of my go to dies at the moment.
A friend of mine lent me her Annabelle Stamps and I think I will have to buy this particular set,
Fanciful Flowers as I love every stamp.

Anyway, join in, I'd love to see what you have done!!

Here is my take on the challenge.....

I really love monochromatic  Lo's and cards and I must admit I did struggle a bit..... I had quite a few ideas to start with, but none of them made it past the drawing board!

I did start this card with acetate in mind but wanted the MFT Christmas Ornament to swing freely, so I changed it but then that opened a whole new set of problems!!!!
Anyway, I finally finished my first Christmas card for 2012 (and probably the last..lol)

Go and see what the other girls have created you WILL be suitable impressed!!!

You are simply the best.....

Hello and WHAT THE...!!! it's NOVEMBER already!!!

Where has this year gone!

54 sleeps until Christmas.....

Anyway, Here is my card from Scrapbook Boutique today.  I have tried some faux letterpress and I am impressed with how easy it is!  I really love the effect and I will be trying this again.  This is not my usual style of card, so it was nice to think outside the box.

How gorgeous is the sentiment.  I am such big fan of Ali Edwards handwriting and this stamp from Technique Tuesday was a must.....

Head on over to Scrapbook Boutique for the details on how to make this card along with all the products you can purchase from the shop.

My daughter and her boyfriend are travelling around the US at the moment and we are eagerly listening to any news about Hurricane Sandy.  They are in Orlando now, so relatively out of harms way.  My thoughts with all people dealing with the aftermath.

Cardabilities Sketch # 62

Hello and welcome back to a new Cardabilities Sketch #62.

Another fabulous sketch with endless possibilities!! 

Seeing as it is close to Halloween, I've gone with that theme.

We don't really celebrate Halloween here in Australia, but it is a fast growing  trend with the kiddies in my neighbourhood and I have made sure I have some treats for the door knockers (just in case)

Our challenge  is very generously sponsored by SK Digis 

I really wanted a witch hat for my embellie and I didn't have a stamp ( imagine that) that would be suitable so I popped on over to SK Digis and found exactly what I was looking for!

I am relatively new to digi  and I must say it was SO EASY and fun and It would get me using my copics too! I will definitely be doing this again!!!

Head on over to CARDABILITIES and join in, we would love to see how you interpret this sketch!!

There is a DT call too.......here

thanks for popping in :)

Cardabilities # 61

Hello and HAPPY MONDAY!!! time for another Cardabilities Sketch.

Another fabulous sketch and as you can see, I have tweaked it just a little.........

I have rotated...(yes I do always turn it don't I..) anticlockwise

I decided to keep with the rectangle theme and instead of a cluster of embellishments,  I went with an embossed sentiment instead.

I loved making this card.  I made another one with the off cuts of the blue strips.

This Sketch is generously sponsored by

SK Digis

just had a little look and my wish list is long..... lol

go and check out the fabulous DT and see their interpretation of this gorgeous sketch and join in! I love to come visit and see what you have done!

thanks for popping in!

Good Friends

I love that Christie and Patrick have such a special relationship. Christie was 7 when Paddy was born and she was such a good help to me.  As you can imagine 4 children and running my own business, things were very hectic here........ Christie was always around to pick him up and give him a cuddle, feed him and generally love him to bits!  They still have a close relationship today and that makes me really happy.

I have used the gorgeous Carta Bella 12 x 12 pack from Scrapbook Boutique. I think I've made 4 LO from this pack! Love every sheet!!!  Scrapbook Boutique have the instructions on how to make this LO.
