"On The Ocean Wave"

Hello tag lovers every where . welcome to my room .

Time for me to create another tag for TAG TUESDAY ..

Great therapy to create small . It is after all instant  paper crafting gratification .

My tag this week consists of card ,  paper and fussy cut  image from Stampin' Up .Designer Paper , High Tide. Adhered  image  with foam tape adding  dimension to the tag .

 

To see some fabulous tags pop over to  Tag Tuesday  and check out my teamies tag designs .

Love the tags I have seen so far with this theme and I hope my comments reflect that . It is amazing how we all come up with something different . Inspirational .

Happy crafting .

Catch you again soon , cheers for now , Shirley-Anne  

Daffodil Bunny and Butterfly Kisses

Hello ,wonderful to see you here . Welcome to my room .
Thank you for calling and I hope that you like tonight's card .

Welcome also to new followers .

Today , although busy with washing , making a bread and jam pudding , getting a hair cut and lots of shopping , I did forego the dusting to create another card .

This time I used a pre coloured image and printed one of the papers straight onto my white  card base . I cut the image out as rectangle base cutting around the back half of the butterfly . I then adhered this onto some blue card leaving a small border and the butterfly left  overhanging . I printed and punched out one of the sentiments with a scallop circle  punch and sponged the edges in yellow ink . I printed out the bows in a smaller size and chose this one to add to sentiment tag . Just added some pearls to add to the sweetness of the card .

Sweet Christmas Wishes

Hi there , welcome to my room and thanks for calling in .

Warm wishes for a happy Sunday for you and yours .

Slight heart ache today . Was Michelle's birthday yesterday and although we rang her on the day  and had sent a card earlier , that is not the same as being in the same room as your Daughter  to get a real live hug .
Then of course it is Sonny's  and Seb's birthday in a few days so the ache will return .

I miss all our children and families so much .

Today I am sharing another Christmas card as DT sample for Christmas Card Challenges

Real Red and Whisper White card SU.  Sentiment , Kaisercraft.  Image from Bugaboo, coloured with copics and fussy cut then adhered  with foam tape  . Cuttlebug embossing  folder . Punch unknown brand .

 

Congrats to all winner and top 3 from challenge #28 .

The Broody Hummer

Hi there,  welcome to my room . Thank you for popping by .

Has been cold again and some showers so lot of time spent indoors .
Good for me and my hobby of paper craft but not so much for Doug .
Now ladies here is a tip .Before you and your partner retire make sure  partner  has a hobby . Something that he can enjoy inside as well as away from home . Also teach him to survive without your company and maybe even to enjoy his own company too .

Was running late with my DT project for Open-Minded Crafting Fun .I had to Google for a photo of a Hummer bird as I had no idea what they looked like . Gotta love Google !
So here is my make .
But first a list of sponsors to thank ..

Out of our comfort zone

Hi there . I can't believe it is Tuesday again .

Had another fabulous craft morning with Sandy and Fran ..always something to look forward to .

I have a work bench with about  12"square of  available  actual work area. To the left of this clear space   is a stack of regularly used ink pads and some pre folded blank card bases along with some printed images left over from   previous makes   , while to the right is a huge pile of card and paper scraps .So from these piles emerged the ingredients for my contribution .
http://tagtuesday.blogspot.com.au/



I die cut some scallop circles from green card . The teddy image was already as is . The scrap ribbon and flower brad were within arms reach .
My step outside my comfort zone was to create some thing different for a tag .A hidden message space .
Hope that you like my ," using left overs " tag.



Have a great week everyone ,happy crafting .
Catch you again soon , cheers for now , Shirley-Anne

Hi .just a quick post tonight .

Hope everyone is well ,  that you enjoy your visit to my blog and thanks for calling in .

Firstly,  I want to thank  Sandy and Fran for a fabulous craft morning that we had at my table today.

Doug was not his best today so instead of us all going out for lunch , Sandy and Fran decided to pop out to nearby  bakery and get  themselves some tucker , come back and have another couple of hours of  coffee and chat . Thanks friends , you are the best .

 

This week for TAG TUESDAY

 

The theme is ARROWS

 

 

I have such a huge stash of card stock scrap on my desk,  along with buttons, patterned paper, ribbon , twine and assorted other embellishments , that I can truly say that this tag was created with only that which was on my work space .

Thank you to the lovely blog pals who left kind words for me for last weeks tag .

 

Really happy with it too. Hope you like it .

 

But for now ....

June Challenge - One for the Dads

Hello , welcome to my room  and thanks for calling in .

A Winter blast has hit Adelaide and Hubby and I have succumbed to the dreaded sniffles .Of course I managed to shake mine off but Hubby  still has sniffles , a cough and is dozing  all the time . Added to that gophering out to our parks has been curtailed severely due to icy winds and rain . Can't wait for warmer weather .

For now though I am sharing DT card for Kraftyhands

This months challenge theme is One for the Dads

                                                           It's A Man's World CD
I printed this kit from the CD only using 1st layer and then coat,   extra hand and phone images to 3D
The faux  ribbon and the sentiment label added too,  all onto black card base . A few grey  pearls from my Kraftyhands stash and that's it .
Many would add more embellishing may be,  but I stick to my style .
