new bear stamp - the cutest!

I had only been at the craft fair yesterday for 2 seconds inside the door when i looked down and saw a card made with the bear and the stamp sitting next to it... I just had to have it, too darn cute!

Tree trimmings

Well the long weekend (Queen's Birthday) if off to a good start, not only have I bought two new stampsets, I have also managed to make 6 cards tonight using these sets and I haven't even been to the craft fair yet! I am really looking forward to the Dunkley's craft fair tomorrow, it's on for 4 days including today (shame I had to work)... so I may go more than one day.... I think it's going to be an expensive weekend!

So here are 3 cards made using the tree trimmings set, I know it's a bit early for Christmas cards but had to try the set out... I have stamped the baubles onto cardstock on both sides, it's so easy with my favourite tool, the stamp-a-ma-jig from stampin up. I stamped the image on one side of the card, the other image on the stamp-a-ma-jig plastic sheet, held them up to a light to line up and stamped in place on the other side.... this way when the bauble moves you can see it is the same on both sides!
The windows are cut out with my nestabilities using my cuttlebug and then I used a larger frame and embossed it to give the frame detail....
I was really pleased with the result. Nice and simple...

Uncharted Territory

Late last night I decided to buy a couple of stampsets on trademe...

I met with a lovely lady from bell block after work to collect them as she was coming into town.
Absolutely love the stampsets! Uncharted territory and tree trimmings... I didn't buy them when the mini catelogues came out as I couldn't buy everything I liked at the time....

Mojo141

I have a colleague leaving work tomorrow for a new job so I thought I would make her a card and it's always easier and a lot more fun when I have a mojo sketch to work from....

Sea views - Photobook

Here is a little photo book I made last night. The theme for this is sea views.... Some photos are from last weekend and the rest are from the last year or so...

Used the bind-it-all for the binding, scrap cardboard covered in paper for covers and then decorated with the fishy friends stampset.

Good Neighbours

Here is a rather different card using the good neighbours stampset. I haven't used it much yet and have no idea what to do with it. I didn't like my first attemp with a brayer background so I threw it out and decided to heat emboss in white to make a snowy kind of scene. Then added (far too much) puff paint to the clouds!

Mojo 140 (take two)

I enjoyed the mojo sketch so much I thought I wouldtry another card, this one is made by stamping onto a cork sheet... gives a nice texture especially for a

realistic teddy bear.

MOJO140

Yey, it' mojo time again... Here is my card based on this weeks sketch. I even added a flower on the inside of the card. The butterflies have dazzling diamonds sprinkled on the dots but they didn't photograph very well..... Hope you like it!

MOJO139

Here is my mojo card for the week, a rather different syle sketch this week, I wasn'tsure what to do so I decided to try a brayered background picture....hope you like it.

Birdhouse treat box

I had a little fun tonight...

I managed to finish a wedding invitation design for my brother in Australia who is getting married early next year. I needed to get it in the post so they can decide on the final design before I make them all.....

So after that I thought I'd try something new, I do love birds and have a super budgie, kiwi, he is blue and has been the inspiration for this little treat box....

It certainly worked as planned, I was also thinking if I did the hole bigger and down to the bottom it could be a doghouse! I guess the options are endless......

Mojo137 and Mojo138

Well I never quite got around to doing last weeks mojo so this week I have made last weeks and this weeks mojo... I decided to go for bright and colourful cards this time... hope you like them, thanks for stopping by.
