Girlfriends Forever

A couple of months ago I went to a scrapbooking retreat in beautiful Daylesford, Victoria. Of course retreats are great fun and we have lots of laughs. The great thing about this retreat is that the same  bunch of ladies come each time. We bring all of our scrapbooking and cardmaking things with us and then share each others. It takes ages to make sure that all of our items are named, and then even longer to pack the car. I take so much that I need to go alone in the car as nobody else would fit in. It is great to share as you soon realise that something that you thought you wanted maybe isn't that great or that you just have to have that wonderful stamp. On the last day we just stamp, stamp, stamp so that you end up taking home lots of fantastic images to work on when you have time.
Below is a card I made using a new Cricut cartridge that I had just bought called Fun in the Sun. I bought this cartridge purely because it has a wakeboarding image on it and my husband and I both wakeboard. I am so glad that I bought it as it has some fantastic images. This group of ladies was one of the fun images that look so good when the layers are put together. Hope you like it too.

Queens Birthday Long Weekend

It's lovely to have a long weekend end this weekend. Even though it is wet and cold.
I have had time to sit down and make some cards. I really hope that the photos come out okay as my camera has died and I am using my husbands, which I have a feeling isn't as good.
I have had a great time this weekend adding to my boards on Pinterest and love that I am able to save so many beautiful things on one space.
I have also made some Christmas cards and just love the Just rite stamps they always come out crisp and clear and are beautiful for colouring in.
Hope you enjoy.

I made this Tilda card some time ago and haven't had a chance to give it to someone yet. It does have a key under the rose so would be lovely for a 21st.

Say Cheescake !!! This is a stamp by Art Impressions and is a really fun one. I used Distress crackle around the edges and cut one of the ladies out and put some dimensionals behind her so that she stood out.

This is my start to Christmas one down many to go. Just Rite stamp coloured with Copic markers.

All great plans

I had almost forgotten that I had a blog, well not quite, but it has been some time since I have posted and I am sure the type of cards I make now has differed from what I have previously posted. 
I am now hooked on Pinterest and decided that I wanted to post some of my cards on my boards. So all set up with the camera and light box, only to find out that the batteries for the camera were flat. Well maybe tomorrow as it is absolutely terrible weather here in Melbourne tonight with lots of wind and rain and I am not venturing out.
I might just sit down at my desk and start creating.
