A special Star Easel Card for Justin & Highlights of the Noosa Country show.

Hello Everyone,

I firstly want to say Happy Birthday to my friend Justin Krieger of JK Cards.  It's his birthday today, I made him a card.  Not just any card.  I had to make it a little different, a little special when its for a close friend who is also an amazing paper crafter.  I know he likes stars, and uses them often on his cards.  He also likes using the Moustache die, and he has one himself.  Finally, his favourite colour out of the new In Colours is Lost Lagoon, so with knowledge of those 3 things, I set about creating an Easel card for him.  This post is mainly about his card, but I also have a few personal pics of our day today as well.

This is a side on view to show you how the card sits.



Cardstock is Early Espresso, Lost Lagoon, Whisper White and Silver Glimmer.


It is safe to show you this card now, because I know Justin has received it.  I thought this would appeal to him, knowing of his love of Stars and this Moustache die.  The greeting on this card is from the Label Love stamp set, punched with the Artisan label punch and sitting on another die from the Apothecary Accent set.




I hope Justin has a fantastic day.  We did too.  Its our annual Noosa Country Show day today and I took a few pics of the show and the girls enjoying it below.  It was a lovely warm day.  This particular pic was taken near the Snake tent.  I did not watch that show.
 

 



 












The girls on the Bumper cars and above I took a photo of the girls watching the Snake show, I wasn't getting any closer.  Anna took the pic of the Taipan, one of Australia's deadly snakes.  One bite contains enough venum to kill an elephant.


 
Here is their Dad carrying around this cat he bought.  He actually tried to photobomb most of my pics this morning until I gave up.  This was taken near the most scary ride the girls went on today called the Shockwave, which does a full 360 degrees in the air and they hang upside down at one point 65 feet in the air. 
 


 
I hope your weekend is fun and you have a fantastic day too.  Just awesome weather here.

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.

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
