Looking for some inspiration today I went to see Cecile Ortiz's work as I love her creations. I found these beautiful flowers and thought to myself I think I can do that so this is my interpretation of her card. I just love the Botanical Builder framelits.

 Thanks for looking at my work if you like it leave me a comment.

I was looking at Pinterest and Thanks to Karen Spiers I found how to make these cards. Love the brick wall. A great man's card.

Easy to make mans shirt

                                                              I'm loving this DSP

I've had a busy few days but able to catch up on some you tube videos. Lost of inspiration. Hope you can gain some inspiration.

Loving the new Bloomin' Hearts Thinlits dies.
I told hubby not to go to the shop and buy me a Valentine's Day card this year. He can just go into my stash of cards and find one he likes and leave the money on my desk. Haa Haa.

Valentine's Day is done.

       

Used the new Botanical DSP and Botanical Builder Framelits

Many years ago I made a little Top Note bag. Quick and easy but very cute. So yesterday after finding in my stash of unused items a BigZ Box 2 die I decided I should use it. The following are the results. In my stash I also found some lovely retired DSP and ribbon.

Just Add Ink # 297....Colour Combo!

I Love a challenge and when I saw Di Barns entry to this weeks JAI challenge I became inspired. So in a sleepless moment at 12.30am this morning I decided to create an entry. Love the soft colours. Rose Garden - Happy Valentine.

Hi everyone, Happy Friday and Happy February!  Can you believe it's February already?  The year is moving along so fast.  Hot Cross Buns and Easter Eggs are already in the shops!  School is back in full swing and Just Add Ink is back in full swing too - so here is our first Colour Challenge for 2016.

I'm Back!

It has been a long time since I posted in my blog because sometimes life gets in the way. My mother passed away, we traveled overseas for a month. Then Christmas ans New Year. A camping holiday and now back to find my creative side.
 I'm back and hope to be posting on my blog on a regular basis. Sharing my creations. Here is one I made for a friend who needed a card for someone moving into a new house. Country Cottage Pop up card.

        
        ESAD SNEAK PEAK 2015 BLOG HOP

                

              

The Sneak Peak item I used is the 'Sprinkles of Life' stamp set.

For about the past 10 years the cup cake industry has been going through the roof and you see them instead of Birthday cakes, Christening cakes, Engagement and Wedding cakes etc..... In fact my Wedding cake comprised of many cup cakes back in 2008. We had a huge box of extra cup cakes so that every guest got one.

                            I decided to go with the tiered cupcakes in my pop up                                              Happy Birthday Explosion card.

Stamp sets- Sprinkles of Life, Something for Baby (little heart on background) and Crazy About You.
CS - Basic Grey, Soft Sky, Whisper White, Sarah Sand, Calypso Coral, Dafodil Delight and Lullaby DSP.
Ink- VersaMark and white embossing powder for cup cake tops, Soft Suede, StaZon jet black ( for candles) and Calypso Coral.
Accessories- Hello You Thinlits dies, Dimensionals, Tombo liquid glue and glue dots.
