Well girls this was going to be an entry in the Just Add Ink Challenge this week gone but I had to opt out this week. Vintage and myself should not normally be mentioned in the same sentence!!! A challenge it was so I thought I'd give it a go. The card I was making was going to end up very similar to Bronwyn Eastley's when I had a look at the entries, so in the end I did a CASE of her card. It was for my friend Jen who surprised us all by getting married last week to a wonderful guy Leighton. We had a long overdue catch up on Friday which was fantastic and a visit to the blue and yellow Swedish heaven IKEA. We are so over the moon for them both and the sentiment on the card felt just right for them. So cheers and hugs Jen & Leighton to many happy years.

Well I've finally decided to do it, that is, join in on the Mojo Monday challenges in the US. I have always looked and looked and looked every week at all the entries and never backed myself to join in. The entries are amazing, pop in and have a look the link is on my side bar. As from today that has changed and I am going to create and hopefully inspire you by enjoy joining in.
Below is the sketch and my entry, I hope you like it!!!

Good morning on this very wet miserable day today. Looks like a great card making day today as I have finished the housework (to my liking that is!!!). I did a quick whip up of these 2 little love notes with my wonderful birdie punch. They are eazy peazy and are great if you need a very quick card, you could also do it as a full size card as well.
It is nice to play with some of my new goodies again.

Hi everyone!! I'm sure there is some veeeeeeeeeeeery sore heads out there this morning!!! Last night was Ashleigh's circus themed 21st. It was a fantastic night I went minus Gary who came down with a tummy bug, I just think he didn't want to go as a lion!!! That is me 1st left as the clown...amazing how many people recognise me. The next pic is me with Ash the great ringmaster, she designed and made her amazing outfit. Won't go through the others but a big thankyou to Kellie and Jayne for their amazing readings as fortune tellers with a pack of Jim Beam playing cards...I was rivetted!!! Oh! Can't leave Janice out who had us mesmerised with her miming skills that just got better as the night went on!!!
Kath & Lionel are so proud, you are such a gorgeous girl Ash, thanks for sharing your night!!!
Thought I better put in the card I made Ash, I thought it was very Ash, hope she liked it.

This is a challenge from the girls over at Clean and Simple, so easy just a 5 min card which you can see below. I am not loading my challenge as I haven't exactly followed the guidelines by putting patterned DSP where it is meant to be plain. Thought I'd pop it up anyway for you to have a little look.
I used the new Rich Razzleberry cardstock and Cottage Wall DSP...in love with both!!! Look out for lots more to come.

The girls over at JAI have come up with a nice earthy colour combo, as soon as I feasted my eyes on the colours I couldn't wait to play!!! You must take a look at the Design Team submissions, they are amazing.
Below is my creation...but I have a confession to make. There was not a scrap of Barely Banana in my stash so I had to use So Saffron. I hope this is OK girls.
I know I am yonkers behind everyone else but I got all my newbies yesterday so I had my 1st play with the birdie punch....I LOVE IT!!! Sadly no Big Shot yet but my birthday is soon, so my wonderful hubby may come good there!!! I have dropped enough not so subtle hints!!! Stay tuned for lots more new(old for everyone else) creations with new colours and stamps.

I am mixing a challenge with some birthday wishes for Robyn. She is away at the moment with no computer access I hope, if she has waving at you Rob!!! Hope you had a fabulous day on Tuesday and you got spoilt. Seeing Robyn is an orange girl too (there is another!!!) I just HAD to do an orange card for her. Below is my creation as well as a little bag that holds a giant Freddo Frog (one of her weaknesses). I just laid the freddo on the cardstock and made the bag to fit him in.

I just had a wonderful morning with my gorgeous upline and friend Megan. It was a great catch up as we hadn't made our jaws sore for a few weeks and I missed it!!! Anyway we caught up at Casuarina for coffee and I had Blueberry pancakes which Megan kindly helped me finish...what a girl!!! Megan loves Raspberry Tart DSP and I thought I would make her a card for her birthday which is on Friday. You can pop into her blog using the link on my side bar and leave her lots of love and positive energy just cause we love her to bits!!!
Below is the card I made her and the two of us looking gorgeous!!!

We are going out to breakfast on Easter Sunday with some friends and their kids to a new cafe in Pottsville called White Jade (they do amazing food and coffees if you are in the area). I thought I would do them up some Easter choccies in the colours of their cafe to say Happy Easter. I don't own an Easter Stamp so a thankyou for breakfast will hit the spot I'm sure. We are pretty game going to breakfast with sugar fueled kids, if they aren't mental by then we certainly will be!!!

The little bag below is just made from 1/2 vertical A4 sheet and the Word Window punch at the top and you can decorate with whatever colours and papers that you like. Score each side of the centre to how tall you want your bag to create the base. Eazy Peazy!!!
