Hello everyone. It is with a heavy that I share my latest project with you. In all of my years of card making, I have not been able to bring myself to make a sympathy card. This is my first. Sadly, I had to say goodbye to another family member...to my cousin who fought right to the end against cancer. He leaves behind a six year old son, a partner and a heartbroken family. We all know that his pain is gone but now life without him must start.
I decided to create a card on behalf of my family for my aunty and uncle and then I made a box for the card. My sister selected the colour of the papers and of course I chose the rest. Here are some close ups.

Paper: Maja Design Vintage Spring Basics
Stamps: JustRite With Sympathy and Sympathy Vintage Labels
Ink: Versafine Black Onyx and Distress Ink Vintage Photo
Dies: Spellbinders Curved Borders Two and Fancy Framed Tags One, Joy Crafts 6002/0381, Memory Box Botanical Stem

Hello everyone! I went on long service leave a few weeks ago and went overseas with a friend of mine. I traveled to places that I have always wanted to go to and feel blessed that I had the opportunity to do so. While on my trip, the break from everyday life, helped me recharge and find some creativity that I had lost this year. I decided to make a mini album for some of my photos and finally I can share this with you. I have a video walk through below that I can share with you as well.
It is the largest album that I have so far. I followed a tutorial by Shellie Geigle. You can see the tutorial by clicking here.
Here are some photos to get you started....
Here is a video walk through of the album. It is highly interactive and it can really only be captured on video.

Hello everyone! I hope that you are well! Today I am sharing a birthday card that I created. I decided to play along with two challenges this week to and combined them in this card.
Hello everyone! I hope that you are all well. Today I created a card following the latest sketch from Mojo Monday.
The sketch really appealed to me so I decided to play along! My card has a few layers. I used a number of dies and lots of flowers. Here are some close ups...

Hello everyone! Today I am sharing with you a photo of a project that I have completed with my class. This started last term and I finished it this morning. I taught them how to French Knit and this is what we finished up with.
I crocheted some granny squares around the edges and also crocheted a border around the side. To read more about this project, click on the link and you will go to my other blog which I use for educational related things.
Hello everyone! It's been a while since I've created anything and posted anything. I have had a break due to some family reasons, had my dreaded reporting term at work, taken some long service leave and have been overseas and I feel the mojo is back!
I have been working on a project with my class. We have been French knitting a blanket to give away to someone who is homeless. That project is nearly complete. I will share that once it is done - I have also been brushing up on my crochet skills as I haven't done any for a long time!
The card I am sharing started months ago. I coloured the Whimsy image in and it has been in a drawer for months. I had intended to create with it earlier however things happened and it the card was made last night!
I intended to work on techniques this year. I have stock piled copic markers and distress inks/markers and I hope that that will happen at some stage. I have enrolled in a few online classes so now I have to actually complete them!
Anyway, I am about to start my next project which I hope to share with you soon which will be a mini album.
Hello everyone. Today I am sharing with you a canvas that I have created using a Julie Nutting Doll stamp. I was inspired by the Prima Product Picks Board and thought that I would have a go.
I rummaged around my stash and managed to find some papers that had some navy tones. I used them in my background papers. I also have oodles of Prima flowers so I had nor problems there. I coloured the stamp using copic markers and then paper pieced the rest. Here are some close ups..
