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

Another sneak peek

Hi there Jacki ..not before time , here I am thanking you for this Blog award .

I am not sure about me being a versatile blogger though as I always seem to settle for CAS cards .

Now you , Jacki , on the other hand .

Her steam punk corset post is worth a look .

Hi there my blog friends , thank you for calling in .Welcome to my room .

Really a hot Autumn day in Adelaide .Thank goodness the Roundabout venue for my crafting

Tuesday morning is airconditioned .

One of the cards for today was another sneak peek of what's coming up in the new SU Autumn/winter mini catalogue .

White base card , with dsp from SU, Beyond the Garden . The image is from new to come set , SU, Apothecary Art. After stamping I diecut with the Framelits Label Collection . The little sentiment label was stamped twice .Once in brown and again in Rose Red ink .I used a SU 1" circle punch to remove centre of red piece and placed the cutout over brown one. Added a couple of half pearls on sentiment label , before 3D it onto card.

For the inside , a layer of dsp and another label from the same set .

This stamp set and the Framelits Dies has really excited me and I cant wait to find another chance to use them .

My thought for today ..

The grand essentials to happiness

in this life are

Something to do ,

Something to love ,

and something to hope for.

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

Just living

Hi there , welcome to my room . Hope that you enjoy your visit . Thanks for calling in and if you have left some comment thank you for that too . Some times if you are  making a quick visit and don't have time for a comment , may be you would like to tick a box to say you liked the card or you found it interesting ..
Was not as nice a day here but enjoyed the company of two friends this morning for a little card making , a cuppa and lots of chit chat .
Fran has joined my challenge to make 50 Christmas cards by 1st December and as she does not have a blog brings along her cards to add to her tally for me to photograph .
And here are her lot for this week .

On my side bar you will see the names of those who have joined in as well and if you click on their names you can visit them too.
One of todays cards that I share tonight  has a Kaszazz image .

Could not take decent photo outside today as it was too dull .

So scanned it instead . The base card is SU Cajun Craze. DSP from my stash .Image was " inked " with various markers .I just sponged edges with Basic Brown ink . Not sure that I like the Font of the sentiment but I do like the words .

Just living is not enough

One must have

Sunshine  freedom

and a little flower.

While Fran , Sandy and I were crafting,  Doug went out  on his gopher for a coffee and just managed to dodge the showers . Thank heavens for that ! We have a few more days of cooler weather to come so it seems as though Spring has sprung somewhere else for a while . Can't wait for consistant warmer weather as I have put on a few pounds over Winter and need to get back to walking more .

Well that's it for now , thanks again for calling in .

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

Tuesday with friends .

Hi there blogging pals . Welcome to my room . Hope that you and yours are well.
Thanks for calling in  and , as I share a little of my day with you , I hope you see something of interest that makes your visit a happy one.
Poor old Fran today was still not 100%  over her cold symptoms but never the less was still great company along with Sandy . These are a couple of my Tuesday ladies that have been sharing time with me here at home creating our little masterpieces .
Both bought along cards they had made at home . Fran does not have a blog but Sandy you already know I am sure HERE .
First my card for today ..

I made this for example for my little challenge spot over at ..http://craftymess.ning.com/
BLACK and WHITE  THEME  challenge .
                                                                            Fran's card

                                                               Sandy's card

We had a lovely morning making up a couple of kits I had prepared and then some  other little Make a Card kits I have had for quite a while . Then at lunch time we went to a little cafe nearby along with Doug  for a light lunch . An enjoyable day all round.

Now lastly I made a little Thank you note for the cafe owner and staff to give to them tomorrow .It is to thank them for the way they make sure that Doug has easy access to inside tables every morning as we go for coffee .

Well thats it for tonight .
catch you again soon , cheers for now , Shirley-Anne .
