Hi Blog fans.
My card for today is to enter the Clean and Simple Challenge which is sketch #314 (how good is this one?) and Shopping our Stash's "Free is Good" theme.
What a beaut design open to all sorts of interpretation.
This is my take on it:
The bow is from a box of praline chocolates I received from a grateful Gumtree customer so was definitely a welcome freebie. The ribbon from that bow I will use on future projects (waste not, want not.)
Cheers for now...

Hello blogland,
Today's card from me is my "Charming Pink Xmas" Card which I am entering into the Feeling Sketchy Challenge number 108.
I was intrigued by the circular swirl that seems to disappear and then reappear through the layers. A very clean and clever design and because I am sooo tired of red and green at Xmas, I have gone with a pretty pink twist and added silver angel and snowflake charms. It looks better in real life as I don't have a proper camera.
I hope you all enjoy the lead up to the big day and keep on crafting on!

Hi all,
I'm entering the card below into Mojo Monday's Sketch Challenge Number 373 which looks like this:
It was a real challenge scaling everything to fit the requirements and I may have gone a little overboard with the 3d effect, but I think it's kind of cute anyway.
Have a great day everyone..

G'Day...
Well, it's nearly Melbourne Cup and I am already over it, so I was pleased to be doing something today that does not require any equine involvement.
I made a very simple card and would like to enter it into a few challenges.
Now, I know you may be going to say "oh boy, this is not new and exciting" and normally I would totally agree, but it was really a lot of fun to make and that's what counts isn't it?
Haven't been hitting my straps (so to speak) lately after hearing both my brother and uncle both have prostrate cancer. I hope at least this card will cheer one of them up (their birthdays are very soon.)
I would like for this to be entered into the following challenges:
just-add-ink.blogspot.com.au Just add a sketch
colourq.blogspot.com Black, white, purple, green, tangerine
shoppingourstash.blogspot.com.au "Rollin"
Please have a happy day and I'll catch you all soon...
Love and hugs

G'day friends
Today I would like to enter 3 challenges with a shabby chic, tall and skinny, chevronny style card (I missed the cut off for Just Add Ink's block stamping challenge... good grief! What a mistakea to makea.)
So the first one is Shabby Chic at Make My Monday Challenge blog http://mimchallegeblog.blogspot.com.au/
and the second is the Top Tip Tuesday challenge which is Chevrons http://toptiptuesday.blogspot.com/
and the third is over at Mojo Monday where the challenge is Tall and Skinny http://mojomonday.blogspot.com.au/
So here is my card...
I used a piece of scrap embossed white card which I stamped using various inks and water to create the shabby chic looking background and the embossed squares at the side fit the tall and skinny sketch perfectly. I edged this using pinking shears. I placed this over some beautiful bird print pale mint patterned paper which I edged using the pinking shears and this created the chevron at the side (subtle though it is.) Did the same with the sentiment and cross piece under the flower and added some shabby chic style embellies just to round it all off.
I trust you are having a great day/night so far and continue to do so.
Cheers

G'day once again from the dingo.
A quick card today to address the Just us girls Colour challenge this week.
My first thoughts upon seeing this combination was "eeeewwww" however, the idea of much loved tasty vegetabubbles came to mind shortly after, so here is my card:
All the favourites are there... avocado, aubergine, artichokes, olive oil and endive.
Hope you like the little bit of navy I used to mat up these backgrounds and images. The photo can't really show how well it contrasts with the plain white card.
Cheers

G'Day again from little old me.
Having some Friday fun with a couple of challenges that are out there at the moment.
Warm and cool colours together have a real comfortable fit in my book.
With that in mind I thought I'd go with the colour scheme challenge at Perfectly Rustics - http://perfectlyrustics.com which is:
and use the scheme to enter the Feeling Sketchy Challenge 105 - http://feeling-sketchy.blogspot.com.au/which is:
and here is my entry that will go in my coffers for next September (if I remember where it is after that long!)
It just seemed like the sort of colours a man would be happy with on fathers' day.
Cheers
