Today I have a picture of a lovely gift I was sent by the very talented & lovely Liam Pucher

This is a gorgeous little easle drawer, it has some lovely note cards inside. 

You should pop on over to Liam’s blog, she has some incredible tutorials over there.

I hope you have a wonderful day today & I’ll chat with you later

Hi there, today I’m going to show you a creation I made a couple of weeks ago.  I saw this gorgeous little bird house a little while ago & thought I’d give it a go, this is what I came up with

I created a card to match with the birdhouse. I really enjoyed playing with Melon Mambo, it is such a fun colour to use.

The colours I’ve co-ordinated with it are Whisper White & Kraft. 

Here’s one I’ve created in Baja Breeeze

I hope you’ve enjoyed looking at my creations today.

I’ll catch you again soon

This post has been sitting in the draft file for what seems like ages……………………….so I thought I’d finish it & show you a card I made about 2 months ago.

This is a card I case-d from page 11 of the Autumn mini. At the time I didn’t have any of the new colours (Melon Mambo) so I used Regal Rose ribbon insead.  I also son’e have the Tag punch so I used the large & Wide Oval punches so I could add a greeting.

The card base is Old Olive & I’ve used the Manhatan flower embossing folder….which I do love but just need to get to using it more.  I am getting much better at using my Big Shot because I’ve moved it so it now sits on my desk & is super easy to use.

I love being able to case a card & make a little change or two to make it more ‘mine’ 

Maybe if your mojo is missing a little inspiration why not find something you like & copy it…. another great use is if you are tie poor, just find a creation someone else has made, tweek it a little & it is more personally yours (thanks to inspiration;)

Good arvy to you, I hope your day is going splendidly :)

Today I am going to show you a box of cards I have created today.  I thoroughly enjoyed my bit of time I’ve spent in my craft room….the itchy fingers are enjoying the workout ;)

Here it is

In all honesty I think this is the only creation I’ve been totally happy with using Pacific Point…..hmmmm maybe I should try using it a little more, it makes perfect male cards.

Here is one of the cards that’s inside the box

The base for the card is Whisper White & I’ve used some Good Morning Sunshine dsp, then topped it with a piece of Summer Sun cardstock.  I stamped the Loads of Love image onto Water Colour paper with Staz On ink & coloured it using my Aquapainter & ink.  I mounted this onto a piece of Riding Hood Red & then popped that onto the Summer Sun.

The greeting down the bottom of the card is from the set On Your Birthday, stamped in Staz On.

I made 3 cards with the Riding Hood Ribbon with a red ute & then 3 cards using the Pacific POint ribbon with a blue ute.  I also used some Circle & some Star brads…….

I think this well be given to one of my childrens swimming teachers……I’ve got this week & next to organise another 2 gifts……hmmm what will I make, I must get my thinking cap on.

I hope you have enjoyed looking at what I’ve created today & I hope it might have inspired you to use some colours you don’t normally use?? :D

Till next time (which I’m going to schedule now so keep your eyes peeled over the next couple of days)……Keep Smiling :D
