Merry Christmas

Hi Dear Friends, many Christmas blessings to you and yours. I hope you enjoy many happy moments with family and friends and may 2017 hold great things for you. Remember the reason for the season and take the time to be thankful for all of the truly important and wonderful things in life; faith, hope, love, family and friends. Much love from me. xoxo

Mojo 477

Hi Friends, it's contest week over at Mojo Monday with another fabulous sketch. There are so many beautiful cards it's really worth your time to go and take a look. Here is my entry for the week. It's my nephew's birthday and he is a keen rower, hence the theme. He is hoping to compete at the 2020 Olympics and we love to cheer him on. Have a great week.

Mojo 476

Hi Friends, here is my interpretation of Mojo 476. It's a square card which I don't do very often because they don't fit well in the standard envelope. However, I do like the finished product and I hope you do, too. Have a great weekend.

5 Step Art Journal

Hi Friends, as I said I would, here are a couple of pics of my art journal that I have been working on this past week. I saw on the internet a five step art journal designed to get the creative juices flowing. This technique was developed by Shannon Greene, I think. Anyway, she's the lady I got the idea from. I am new to art journaling, so my art is still fairly basic. However, I have really enjoyed this process and am learning a lot about how products work together and that kind of thing. Some amazing results can come from simple methods. It's also an excellent way to relieve stress. Have a great week, folks.

Mojo 475

Hi Friends, I have been a busy crafter this week and I will share with you some of what I have been doing, but today here is this weeks Mojo Monday sketch challenge. I know it's Friday, life is full. I used papers from Kaisercraft called close up. It's from an older collection, but that's how I buy them since they are on special. I am quite pleased with how this card turned out. It is a general themed card because I went mad last year making Christmas cards and, truly, I won't need any more Christmas themed cards for a long time. Hope you like it. Have a great weekend.

Art Journal

Hi Friends, I have just completed an art journal page which is my take on Vicky Papaioannou's dream catcher art journal page. This lady does wonderful work and her tutorials are so inspirational. Because I am new to art journaling I did make a few errors, such as the smudged stamping. Also, my art journal is an altered book so the pages are warped. It doesn't worry me, but may look odd to anyone who sees it. I hope you like it. Have a great weekend,everybody.

Mojo 474

Hi Friends, here is this weeks Mojo Monday card. It's another Christmas card and I chose non-traditional colours. I quite like how it turned out. I hope you do, too. Have a great week.

Ideal ATC Swap Group

Hi Friends, the ATC swaps from Ideal arrived today and they are wonderful. The theme was 'Life's a Beach' and everyone came up with their own unique take on this theme. Many thanks to the girls over at Ideal for allowing me to join in. Here is a pic of the ATCs, four of them are mine (1, 2, 3, & 9) and the others are the swaps. Hope you like them. Have a great weekend.

Mojo 473

Hi Friends, I have just completed the new card for Mojo Monday. I had such fun creating this one, making use of brads and glitter glue and my tiny angel punch. The red and white paper has a felt texture which is nice to touch. This was a great sketch and I think I might make another Christmas card from it in non-traditional colours. Anyway, I hope you like it.

Mojo 472

Hi Friends,
I have at last uploaded the pic of my take on Mojo 472. It was fun and I used die cuts from Kaisercraft Fiesta pack. I know it's a little late, hectic week. Hope you like it.

Happy 1st of November

Hi Friends, can you believe it is November already? How the year has flown by. I just found out my results for my final assignment in my sustainability subject and received 75% which I am very happy and relieved about. Still waiting on results for my other subject. The boys just got back from a camping trip out west. They had a great time and so did I. I had time for relaxing and crafting and even dancing, which is my other love. Anyway, enjoy what is left of Spring.

Hi Friends, just thought I would share with you the ATC's I created for the November swap at Scrap 2 Relax. This months theme is "Pink" which was great because I hardly ever work with pink and I love the colour. I really enjoyed making them after I looked up some quotes about pink and got inspired. Hope you like them.

Mojo 471

I have been following along on the Mojo Monday blog for some time but have never entered one of my cards. So, this will (hopefully) be my 1st entry. Hope you like it.

First Post; 25/10/16 A birthday card

Hi Friends, at the end of the month is my nephew's birthday so I thought I would post a pic of the card I sent. Hope you like it. The name was done with a stamp set I found at a cheap shop for $2.50. What a bargain! Have a great week.
