Cards for Aussie Troops and some weekend pics from Golden Anniversary celebrations.

Hello Everyone,

I have no creations of my own to share with you this weekend.  Instead I have a couple of creations that I turned into cards, that were actually part of swaps from my dear friend Vicki of Cards on the Table with Vicki.  I knew I would have no time for creating this weekend with my parents 50th Wedding anniversary down the Gold Coast.  We've been away and had a lovely time.

Here are Vicki's cards.  A tag card


A wonderful creation using Bird Builder and various other punches.

And a Present Card


I am sure that my friend Vicki won't mind me showing these to you on her behalf, and I'm sure she will give me permission to send these cards, as extras that I donate to our Aussie Troops.




Now I wanted to show you a couple of pics from my weekend away.  It was due to my parents 50th Anniversary, the card for which I already showed you.

 Here are my Mum and Dad



Here is my youngest sister Gen and me (such a fun girl)


Beautiful piano in the main foyer


Our family, Mum, Dad and all the girls.


Finally, I want to show a really nice pic of my girls who also came down for the weekend.  They were in charge of babysitting their younger cousin while we went for drinks and dinner.




We had a wonderful time catching up.  I hope you had a great weekend too.

      Great thanks Vicki. Those cards are already on their way to Sydney in a batch of 50 others posted today. I actually still have more photos on the camera to go thru yet.

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

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

Image
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
