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.

PCCCSC174 - Merry Christmas

Image
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...

Just Add Ink 184 - Just Add Bows

Hi Everyone, How are we this Friday?  I'm good, been to the Dentist this morning for my regular check.  The good news is today was relatively painless, the bad news is I have to go back for some fillings.  Yuck! There's a great challenge at Just Add Ink this week brought to us by Trish to Just Add Bows.  The paper variety are so popular at the moment so that's what I'm making today. I've used my Extra Large oval punch with some of the gorgeous Winter Frost Designer Series Paper pack.  This is one of the foil sheets from the pack for my bow.  I've kept this card simple and elegant making a square card, so that it looks like a gift. Here is a closeup of that bow. I've used Bermuda Bay and Whisper White cardstock today with the Winter Frost paper pack.  I really like the colour combinations in these papers.  You can pack these cards quite quickly and they look so effective. Thanks for stopping by today to view my card.  P...
