World of Dreams

Hello Everyone,

Its windy and cool here for a Saturday with a few scattered showers, but no one's gonna rain on my parade...lol.  Its my birthday and we just had a lovely morning tea here with my class.  I also received some very beautiful birthday cards and gifts which I'll share another day.

For now I have made a card with the stamp set World of Dreams.  Its a very simply design.


The main image chosen for this card of the birds and next was stamped in Early Espresso ink onto Whisper White card and the sentiment was stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink.  The Base card is Early Espresso with a Crumb Cake background which I've embossed with the Woodgrain embossing folder and I've added three strips behind the image which also bring in the Blackberry Bliss colour used for the mat and also Early Espresso.  Heres the complete picture below.



I only just received this stamp set this week and its sure to become a favourite.  I already have another card in mind for its next use.

Before I go I wanted to share with you the little cakes my daughter made for us today - in lieu of a big Birthday Cake.  They are Lemon Meringue Cupcakes...Yum.


We are off again to the final performance of the Musical Calamity Jane that the girls are in this evening.   Hope you have a great weekend.

    Gorgeous card. Taking a look at this set.
    Friday I went to our school musical (the girls and boys school combine to do the production). My son designed the back cover of the programme.
    Your girls are great cooks. Happy Birthday again :)

    Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

PCCCSC174 - Merry Christmas

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great day.

Music Teacher Farewell // Paper Players #173 Shaped Card Challenge

Image
Hello Everyone, It's a sad week for my daughter and her friends who have really enjoyed what the music program offered them at the High School this year.  Their very talented teacher will be moving on to a new school and they're having a little party for their last day of the Vocal ensemble practice which was an extra activity that he undertook with the students, as well as teaching them to play all sorts of instruments in lesson times. His speciality though, Guitar!  I have decided to enter this card into the Paper Players Shaped Card Challenge this week.  While not specifically made for the challenge, I think it's a pretty cool shape and fits the criteria.  I also think more people deserve to see this card. When asked to make a card for the group to give him, with that in mind I found some inspiration on Pinterest and came up with this card. The hardest part for me was getting the shaping right, and I had to call on my Artistic daughter to draw the edge as I d

JAI176 - Just Add Blokes & CCMC 2nd Entry

Hi Everyone, I thought this weeks Just Add Ink challenge - "Just Add Blokes" was a great opportunity to get in and make a Male card .  For those of you outside Australia, "Blokes" is another name for Men. Today I'm using Mosaic Madness bundle set teamed with a greeting from Loving Thoughts stamp set.  I don't understand why, but the simplest cards seem to take me the longest.  I agonise over them, and yet I can make something much more involved quicker, when I have a clear vision in mind. I've taken the colours for this card from the colour challenge this week for Create with Connie and Mary so this card is doing double duty for both challenges. Here we are The cardstock is Berrmuda Bay, Basic Black, Whisper White and Smoky Slate per the colour challenge.  Here is a closer look at the Mosaics.  The Bermunda bay one is raised on dimentionals. This picture below gives you a closer look at the greeting. Thanks so much for stop
