ANOTHER CARD






Today is the first day of Winter and the sun is shinning perfect for scrapping at my table I get the afternoon sun coming in on me it's perfect...

I have made another exploding card today for my nephew who is about to turn 9..it's a pirate theme card...I got the pirate paper from spotlight they had these paper packs 60 sheets for $15 and it's all pirate themed which is perfect for boys and of course Riley's 6th birthday was pirate theme and I made his Easter bonnet a pirate one the papers are the same as the fabric I used on his hat which was a bonus.

Really happy with how the card turned out I have used the Kaiser Birthday stamps and some pirate stamps that I picked up from Big W along with glimmermist, inks, made a pirate flag with the stamps and placed it on a toothpick red acrylic skul is from KUT IT OUT....to finish it off I burnt around the edges on the inside of the card to give it a pirate map look..

Will be back with some more soon

Finally FINISHED & more

I have finally finished my QLD 2010 travel album I had originally purchased a Making Memories Passport album thinking 1 album would be plenty but I quickly filled that....I could not find another passport album so I found this fabric D-Ring album in Spotlight I will just have to decorate the front cover... it's bitter sweet finishing the album it seemed to be never ending and now it's finished....
The below photo's are a bit out of order blogger is not playing nice and won't let me move around photo's














Below is the 2 albums just have to decorate the front cover of the 2nd album all chipboard and acrylic in the album is by KUT IT OUT



A couple of weeks ago I was at the RACV to organize dad's hire car Riley was running around and when we left he had walked out with this little travel brochure on Rome when we got home I had a good look at it and thought I could replicate it and make a card below is the inside of it...it involves lots of scoring and folding to make it pop out when the card is open


The front of the card


Have been stocking up on my American Craft Thickers from Spotlight you can't beat $5.00 a pkt...have also been buying lots of paper kits from America with the way the aussie dollar is it's so much cheaper...I am loving Echo Park, Simple Stories...I brought one of the new Pink Paislee House of 3 packs although you get 25 sheets of double sided paper you get 4 sheets of each design they need to put a die cut sheet or alphabets in it...I ended up splitting it with my neighbour I will never use 4 sheets of the same paper...I even brought the new Basic Grey lauderdale kit and 2 new Fancy pants kits I think I need to stop..


Blogger is playing up it will not let me re-arrange photo's but the below image is what the card folds up like.

We had a busy Mothers Day this year my family for lunch and then out to Sofia's with Craig family that night...I got Wii Zumba and some goodies from the Mothers Day Stall at school...The kid's buy for my mum from the stall as well I like to keep the tradition going of my mum getting something from a school stall




Riley has started Aus Kick and loves it although when he gets the ball he just runs with it he will one from one end of the Field to the other with the ball not hand balling or even kicking it he just runs and all the kids chase after him...he is very good at his kicking and loves going every Sunday
