We all need fun friends

Hi there .  Welcome .

How awesome  is this ? I have missed blogging . Also missing the visits to other blogs .
Nothing boosts one's morale , lifts one's spirit or encourages one to create more than kind words from another like minded person . Bit like life in general really.

Any way , thank you to those who left comments on my last post . Now you all will be stuck with me for another season ,LOL

Today I am sharing a card using stamps that have not felt the kiss of ink for quite some time . If the sentiment seems  crooked please believe me when I say I did mean for that to be the case . My colouring has indeed suffered from  lack of practice , sad to say . BUT when I am a little disappointed with anything on my creation   I always say to myself that a blind person would be happy to see it .


This time I have used  SU thick  Whisper White  card base with a SU  Chocolate Chip mat.
Again on a layer  thick WW I inked Art Impressions " Girl Friends" set and used one of the sentiments included . On the inside I used another which reads..
" Wishing you a wonderful birthday filled with love and laughter"
 This came from a freebie with a magazine and I thought that it complimented the front of the card very well .
I agonized whether or not to add embellishments and in the end I decided for just 3 enamel drops .

Thank you for calling in .

I may  join in another challenge .

Friendship card

Hello there craft pals . Welcome to my room and thank you for calling in .I do hope that you say hello and maybe let me know what you think of my card today

It is freezing here in Adelaide right now just 13 degrees so my mojo has frozen . I am tapping into my usual avenues of mojo inspiring /awakening like new SU stamp and die sets and pinterest , along with other SU demonstrator blogs .You would think I should hit on something that would get the craft juices flowing .

I have been playing with new stamp and die set , To A Wild Rose .

Here is the card .Please stay with me here because I would love some input from you  about the white edge around the die cut .

 


In the top image you can see the white edge of the flowers because I stamped onto white card .But for the leaves I used green card stock 

 

Here is a photo of two spare flower  die cut images where I have inked the white edge .In your opinion would these have looked better on my card ? 
Second opinion on the stamping now ..
The flower on the right is inked Regal Rose ink and outlined with Primrose Petals ink .
The flower on the left is inked  same but outlined with Black ink .Both flowers I like . 

Of course this quandary  would not be here had the back ground been light coloured or white . 

It's very important to surround yourself 
with people you can learn from.

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

A sponsor acknowledgement


Hello there , welcome to my room . Thank you for calling in .
In my previous post as DT member for TTCRD challenges I acknowledged that the sponsor for that week was Stix2anything  and because their  supplies were not received before DT post was due  I created a card from my own craft stash .
But I did say that when goodies arrived I would use these or at least some of,  in another post . here is a reminder of that kind sponsor .


So now I can share my creation . My Just For You card .

 
Sponsors Products used 
Stix2Anything 3D foam squares to add die cut buttons for dimension .


                                                           
Was worried that when I sharpened this pencil that the " special lead?" would either mash or break but it did neither .This is a great tool ! I found that if you are heavy handed when poking the pencil onto small gem it does not work as well as when you just dab point onto said gem .just a quick light dab worked a treat and gem was on and stayed on pencil .I used The Silicone Adhesive   this time for these small glass gems .
 


Once again thanks to the sponsor Stix2Anything for the products sent to me .

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

Papercrafting



Who said you could not teach old dogs new tricks !?  After all these years of blogging I have just learned to place a watermark on my photo of my card ....whoopie . Thank you Sandra from TTCRD

Good morning , good afternoon or good evening to you all . Welcome to my room and thank you for calling in .

I really enjoyed creating my DT card as it reminded me of how unsure of myself I was when I began papercrafting as a hobby . Comparing my efforts to those that I saw on line on different blogs and to those samples in craft shops ,  getting started was hard but craft lovers are an encouraging , inspiring lot and now there is no stopping me .
Talking about crafting as I am , I am actually here today because there is a new weekly challenge up and running  for  http://ttcrd.blogspot.com/ Just click on the link and join in . We would love to see your make .

A fun ride ?

Hello friends , welcome to my room where I am sharing a card made this morning .
Thank you for calling in and I hope you like my simple make .

I actually had a scooter like this almost the same color too .But when we moved to the city from the country I was too scared to use it on the city  roads. I only rode it  twice on the busy roads and when a truck then a bus went past me on the second time I shook so much that I was petrified that I would fall off. I sold it soon after !!

The image and sentiment are from an old SU set , Today& Everyday.
I colored with pencils . White thick card from my stash for card base and Mint Macaron for layer.
Circle die  from my die  collection used .

                               

I added the layer with foam Stampin' Dimensionals and topped it  with SU embellishments .

Just for you

Hello there craft buddies . Welcome to my room and thank you for calling in .
I do hope that all is well with you and yours .

It was 3 c degrees this morning when I got up then promptly went back to bed . Snuggling back under the blankets on a Sunday morning and listening to the wireless is such a treat . But of course it does make for a late breakfast which really does throw the normal daily  routine right out the window .
Oh well , it is said  that a change is as good as a holiday so I guess I am on holidays today . LOL

Another change today is that  I am sharing two cards here in this post .
Just simple quick cards , I must say .

Firstly , one using an image from an Art pad from LOTV as a topper .
A white card base with a green card layer . Both SU card stock  from my stash .
The tag die and sentiment stamp  are from a free set in a magazine .
The bling from my stash .
                                                           
 
The sentiment ensures that the card can be used for birthday, Mothers' day or get well card .

The second card 

CASED from Lisa's card 
https://lisasstampstudio.com/2018/05/running-circles-around-you.html 
I did use a different sentiment tho..oh and a different flower from the same SU set , 
Love What You Do.
DSP is from paper pack,  Share What You Love .

Now I have just one more card and kit to make for Tuesday. That will be shared another day .

My time is limited but I may find a challenge or two in which to enter one or both of the cards . 
The next trick is to remember to check when said challenge ends ..Ahhh well!!

How DO you wrap a hug?

Hi there . Welcome to my room and thank you for calling in .
I do hope that you let me know that you have popped in to read  my post by leaving a few words in the comment box below . I appreciate you taking the  time . I do read all comments and will return the visit asap .

Another cold day in Adelaide with a few late afternoon showers . Now Hubby does not like Winter as he cannot go out on his gopher to give  Twiggy a run in one of the many parks nearby . So he has to content himself with watching a lot of TV or playing games on his computer . For me it is ok as I love being in my craft room either actually making cards or researching on line for card sketches /ideas .I do love Pinterest .

Today I am sharing a rather plain little square card .
An image, A Secret,  from Mo's Digis which I coloured with copics .
The sentiment is one of Penny Black's stamps.
The little butterfly is from a freebie set in a magazine .
The DSP is from my SU stash .
I die cut the image after printing it then stamped the sentiment and butterfly before  colouring and adding to card with foam dots .

I Seas you....



Brrrr....It is a cold one today !!  We may make 14 degrees C  here today .
I do hope that the weather is kind to you where ever you are .

Thank you for calling in and welcome to my room . I don't get too many comments to my posts so you can be sure that I will visit you too , if I know that you have called in . So please say hello in the comment box ..

My make and kit  today is for my friends Sandy and Jane to hopefully enjoy this week .
This is a new card  fold for me.I was inspired by the card made and posted by Gay Lynn on Pinterest.

 
Now if I were to make this again I would use Very Vanilla card for centre images and the sentiment .
But having said that I do still like this make . 
By The Shore DSP, SU the back side of which is shown in part behind next picture of inside of card .
SU Whisper White card for centre images and sentiment and inside panel. 
SU  Pacific Point card base and backing for images and sentiment .SU dies used .
Images and sentiment  from a freebie set with a magazine .


I took A4 card stock of Pacific Point ,Adhered a 10cm x 14.5 less 2cm to right hand top leaving small border top  and right .
 [C6 ordinary card to be 10.5cm x 15 less 2cm ]
I then embossed a line left side and bottom of what will become insert so that the base of card will be 10.5cm x 15 less 2cm .
I then cut from top left corner of A4 card to bottom right and folded along embossed lines so that the bottom section folded up while the left side folded in .
Now back to the front of card where I adhered DSP . I placed smaller circle just so that the top larger circle can tuck under and thus card can  stay shut .

As you can see this fold technique still gives you two C6 cards from one A4 card .

Tip..Use your bone folder to give crisp folds after lining up folded sides .

Thanks again for calling in and I hope you liked my post .

Cute smile

Sunshine today so smiles abound .
Hello you all . Thank you for calling in and welcome to my room .

A super Spring day which did wonders for flagging spirits .DH has been suffering cabin fever for weeks now,  after what seemed to be a prolonged Winter . We managed a gopher ride this morning  right down to Linear Park to Hackney Bridge and back . We had breakfast at a little bakery and then had lunch there on the way back . No photos today because I forgot to recharge my camera batteries .All the tracks were busy with walkers , joggers and cyclists . There were seniors , singles and groups , children and dogs every where . All in all , a perfect day out .

Now a whimsical image for my card share today .

This awesome flower is one of three from a set , Funny Flowers , from Peachy  Keen Stamps
I coloured with various copics. I stamped the image twice, cut out both but  cutting out only the leaves from the second image to 3D them .The die for smile word is from MFT. The card is a pre cut one from my stash . The flower is adhered to a white die cut circle with SU snail then onto black die cut circle .

Most smiles are started by another smile.

To a friend

Hi there , how are you on this wonderful day ?
Hope that all is well with you and yours .
Welcome to my room and thank you for calling in .

Today's card is just a really , really simple CAS card using a pre cut card and elements pack from Close to my Heart , Cut Above, Fiesta Card Kit .  I did not purchase the stamp set that went with this so used what I had ... No inside sentiment /greeting yet because my thoughts may change before posting off .


The hat and flowers are from Stampers Anonymous, Crazy Things . Coloured with copics .
The sentiment is from CTMH , A Bunch of Love Occasions .

                                                             INSIDE

I would like to enter this into this challenge ....

I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy. Let's face it, friends make life a lot more fun.

Fluttering by to say hello.

Hi there , welcome to my room . Thank you for calling in .
 Please feel free to browse a while . And, if you happen to like something from a really old post please leave a comment . I would love to hear from you .
Hope that where ever you are , all is well and the weather is kind.

My card to share today as a give away ...see below at end of post .
Card base is Shimmery White from SU, as are the embossed layer and the green panel .The butterfly embellishment is from Little Birdie Boutique Elements. the die cut word from Memory Box. The pearls [ added after a suggestion from Sandy ]  from my stash.
I see that I need more practice with placing the die cut word as I think that the 'h' could have on more lean to match the 'll' s.
May find a challenge to enter this .........


Just a reminder that there is still time to enter Kraftyhands  Challenge Blog .
  Here is one entry that I visited and got quite a chuckle .
http://helenscrafthaven.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/thumbprint-ice-creams.html

A brilliant CAS card. Thanks for sharing /entering Helen. Love the sprinkles on the ice cream .
  There are more inspirational shares from Helen on her blog so I do hope that you will pay her a visit soon .


My card is a give away this time .From any of the comments to this post I will send this and add some candy bits too. Will send any where .

Had a moment to spare

Hi , awful late here but had a moment to spare to post a card .
Welcome to my room . I hope you like what you see .

The sun was out today so Doug and I were out and about . We gophered into the city where I manage to snap some photos .

Fountain which aerates the river  water which is supposed to minimise algae

This one is where  the SA Brewing company is  beautifying a section of the river bank .I am guessing that they [ in the back ground ] are the vats of brewing mixture . Being a non  drinker , I really know nothing about this place .

My card to share
                            
Whisper White card base , 1st layer is SU paper ,2nd paper from my stash ,
Image , Jodie Lee designs . pearls from my stash .
Have left sentiment off till card is needed .

Almost midnight so will close off before it becomes tomorrow .

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

Happy day .

Hey Hey it is Monday .
How was your weekend? Fabulous I hope .
Was it a holiday weekend ? Like a bank holiday or some such .
Well  I hope that it was spent happily  with family and friends .
Here in Adelaide it was great Autumn weather , perfect for outings .
Had a busy week , with general life stuff and have not posted since last Monday .
Thank you for calling in and a huge warm welcome to new and regular visitors alike .

I wonder if any of my readers can relate to a problem I have in the kitchen in connection to my weight watching .
As I have alluded I'm  trying to lose weight with out commercial pills or potions but just with smaller portions and limiting nibbles .
I thought that it would be easy with it just being Doug and me .
Well , I have had fun with some meals . Like making a shepherds pie in a small 17cmx 23cm baking dish instead of family size 25cmx40cm.
or making 250ml/ cup  of custard instead of 2 Litres. You get the picture ?

One thing I don't have to worry about is paper craft .
My card to share today
Using Soft Suede card base, Lili of the Valley paper.
Sentiment , SU ,Happy Day.
Bird and flower embellishments from my stash .
Image is free from Ephemera's Vintage Garden . 

OH DEAR !! Sandy will pick this up ...I did not use the stamp-a-ma-jig.

Feel good about this mornings weigh in .
    
OH NO ..how can this be ..?
same as last week ..not fair!!
              
Catch you again soon , cheers for now , Shirley-Anne.

All occasions

Hi there , how's things? Welcome to my room .
Thanks so much for calling in .

Another fine Autumn day and it looks like Easter here will be super weather . My trusty camera captured an  awesome photo of another kookaburra today and we did see another koala but it was too high to take photo . I posted todays photo  only on my face book page this time.

Saw a card when blog browsing the other night and loved it so much I bought it ! No I didn't , just kidding , I made one like it .
Thanks for the inspiration Sylvia Blum .
                          
The card base, C6,  is Shimmery White , SU.  Paper , 'All Occasions ' , Craft Concepts . Sentiment , SU ,
The just a note stamp from Stampendous . Basic Black marker , SU , used for faux staple .
 A pretty little CAS card for instant craft gratification.

A poor substitute for a bit of apple pie but!!


Was keen to keep to  my diet today  and smaller portions were the order of the day and no dessert for dinner . AND NO SUPPER !!
 I am dying here .
I am determined not  to use meal replacement thingys . Forgot to drink more water though . Oh well bad habits don't go away easily  so one day at a time .

Will enter this card  to a challenge
http://brownsugarchallenge.blogspot.co.uk/
               This week our theme is: Mother's Day  [ ends Friday]

                Well that's it for tonight , not a nibble in sight either .
                      
                                    What ever doesn't kill you
                                         really does make you stronger.
                                                         [ but I don't want to be strong , just slimmer]

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

Chocolate and Orange

Hello .Welcome to my room .
Are you blog browsing ? Well , I hope that you like what you see here and maybe leave a word or two . let me know you have been and I can visit you too..
Had a fabulous craft morning with Fran and Sandy . It was coffee and chat first as Sandy has just returned from a trip over seas .Lots of interesting  anecdotes of her travels made delightful addition to the bickies shared .

One of the cards made today was inspired by a card I saw one night as I blog browsed .
I must thank Jen  Nelson  for that . I would share her blog addy but did not write it down ..just remembered the design . The colour combo has changed as is the sentiment .And I think that I did the inside differently too .

                        
 
Chocolate Chip, SU , for card base .Some orange/white  paper from stash .
Pumpkin Pie ribbon , SU.  Sentiment , SU.
INSIDE


It is a  top fold C6 size card . I scallop  die cut the front . I adhered the orange paper to the bottom of a  piece of Chocolate Chip card stock the same size as the original card front .I adhered that behind the scalloped front , then added the ribbon and sentiment .
Card colours reminded me of  the Jaffa  confectionery.
 Tis another CAS card.
Must leave now and catch up on some DT work .

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

HI There.

Welcome to my room , and thank you for calling in .
Mid week and all is well .
Actually has been a busy time,  craft wise any way . Had 4 Birthday cards to send off . All went   to close family members .
The card I share tonight was for one of my  craft mornings as a kit . I think that the girls enjoyed making it up .
 
I took the card  lay out  from one that I saw in a magazine , while flipping through .
 Sorry I cant recall which and /or the original creator. I have used different products
from my stash .
 
 
Brown card base . Paper from SU.  White string,  flower and leaves from stash .
