CAS Sympathy

Happy Saturday lovely blog friends ~

Loving that it's the weekend!  I meant to pop back a couple of days ago and show you this...but...I'm so slack at taking photographs of my cards, and I'm really not that good at it...so procrastination is what I'm best at with the camera.


My hairdresser (of too many years to count) recently lost a grandparent and I wanted to give him something that wasn't too tizzy but showed that I was thinking of him.  This is a small 4x4" card with a 3.5x3.5" mat.  The little butterfly from the retired SAB set Bliss is stamped in Marina Mist, twice - on the mat, and fussy cut then popped up with a dimensional and a few tiny pearls.  It's possibly a little too CAS (would have been nice if the butterfly was a little bigger) but it did the trick.

Hope you're all having a great start to your weekend.  Canberra has blue skies and sunshine today and I've got a girlfriend here from interstate so we're going shopping!

I've got some other fun and exciting news to show and tell but will wait until next week to share.

JAI#94...Just Add A Sketch

Hello & happy Friday ~

My post is a little late this morning because I was at the Cold Chisel concert last night. Fabulous! They played all their old favourites. I had a great time. Might even have a pic or two to share with you later.

This week over at Just Add Ink beautiful Bron set us a sketch challenge. I had my friend with breast cancer in mind when putting this card together. I am off to the hospital to visit this morning and this is the card I'm taking to her.


I've layered some Island Indigo dsp on a white base, then used my Nesties to cut the Pool Party Blossom. I heat embossed my flowers using the new Irridescent Ice embossing powder. It gives a lovely glossy glittery finish. The flowers are Pretty in Pink and Rich Razzleberry, and Lucky Limeade for the leaves.

Pop over to JAI and check out the design team inspiration. Hope you can find some time to get inky and join us this week!

This afternoon we are off to Gorgeous Kid's school twilight fete. It's always huge as they have the big rides, and dunk the teacher! It's a hot one here in Canberra so I'll be happier there once the sun goes down.

Have a great day, and thanks for stopping by to visit.

JAI#75...Just Add a Colour Challenge

Hello lovelies ~ thank god it's Friday huh!

Super quick post this morning to show you my Just Add Ink colour challenge card.


Lovely colours chosen by Delys this week - Very Vanilla, Soft Suede, Basic Black and Cherry Cobbler.

Notice I'm finally using my watermark? Hee hee BFF gave me some lessons in ph'shop so no excuses now. Thank god for video live messenger, we use it all the time and it's so so fun.

Hope you've all got some fun planned for the weekend. Busy here as I have a friend from interstate celebrating her 40th, and Gorgeous Kid's godmother is down from Brisbane for a flying visit...it's all happening.

I'm off to schedule a few posts since things have been super quiet around here lately. Be sure to pop over to JAI and check out all the other fabulous inspiration projects.

More Bliss Butterflies

Hi all ~

Several weeks ago I made this card for the JAI Colour Combo#60. It came together so nicely, that I made a few more in different colours. I do love CAS.





I've put the sentiment on the inside of each card. Not too bad for a gal that isn't totally keen on butterflies huh. Let's just say I'm becoming more fond of them ...

JAI#60...Colour Combo

Good Friday morning ~

I knew it had been a little while between posts, but gee it's been longer than I thought. Life has been incredibly busy of late, however, I'm back and have a few things to show you in the coming days.

Today I have my Just Add Ink submission to show you. We had a lovely colour combo to work with this week, and in keeping with the style I seem to be so fond of my entry is CAS.


Bliss is the first SAB set I got this year and although as a general rule I'm not a huge fan of butterflies, I really do like these stamps and quite enjoyed the cutting out. They look lovely with the little pearls adhered I think (not that they are very clear in my pic - once again the weather was playing havoc with my fairly weak photography skills).

Why don't you head over to JAI, check out the challenge and join in the fun. There's plenty of DT inspiration to get you started!
