Here it is  mid week and all is well .
 Spring is a springing , Doug is a happy chappy ,  Twiggy is ....well,  Twiggy and I am holding my weight so life is good .
Even better now that you are here of course.

Hello and welcome to my room , thank you so much for calling in .

Hey , are you over Christmas card making yet ?
I am .  Don't get me wrong I looove creating Christmas cards , browsing through blogs , magazines and pinterest for inspiration .
BUT ... isn't there  always a but!

By the time ..  about this time ,  I find that I have soaked up so much inspiration that I am overloaded but find that nothing I create  ever seems to be  as  amazing , awesome , stunning as that which I see elsewhere.
And that's ok because really , I am happy with my style .

This Christmas card is my offering for tonight.

Made especially for this challenge

Small card big message

Hi there welcome to my room and thank you for calling in .

It is a cool Sunday here in Adelaide . Not much doing here . Have crock pot on with dinner  simmering .

Doug is dozing in front of TV . Dare not go to switch it off because he will swear that he was watching the movie .

In the mean time ....

I am having another go at using some of my scraps and part kits .

I have some images and sentiments left over from a Kaszazz Christmas kit .

So using some new SU  Crumb Cake Note Cards 12.7cmx8.9cm , because they came with envelopes to match I created these little Christmas gems .

Talk about CAS . I think I will make a few more .  May be another scrap  bag emptied .

Would like to enter a challenge or two ...

Hi there , welcome to my room . Thanks for calling in .

  Ended up being a hot  35 here today .  Doug and I  drove out early for coffee and scones , meeting up with Sandy and Jane at our regular B&B café. Then home to our cool unit .

 Hope that where ever you are and what ever you are up to that you are happily  sharing your day with friends and family .

Have this to share today

                                             

Whisper White card base with 1st layer Pacific Point both from SU.
Whimsy Shapeology  die , Happy . SU punch for decorative edge
Was going to add  bling but thought that images were pretty enough to stand alone .

With Friends

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

Well,  I do hope that you have enjoyed your weekend and are ready for what lies ahead in the new week .

Doug and I watched a lot of TV this weekend with V8 car racing on but I did manage a little cutting , layering paper and card making on the side .

Tonight there is quite a lot of thunder and lightening here in Adelaide . Poor Twiggy has been beside herself even though she is safe inside with us .

Created a card today and will share .

This beautiful image of three women in the garden or maybe the fields is a free image from

Just a 14.5cm square card of SU card stock and floral  paper panel while pink 1st layer is from my stash of unknowns. Please note a little embellishment included ..LOL

Had another great morning on the trail and saw another koala . I must make a book of all the photos I have taken there  one day ..on the to do list.

Friday tomorrow .What's that I hear some of you saying? "Thank goodness it's Friday !"
Well I hope that everyone has a happy weekend .

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

Hats are in .

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

Another hot day in Adelaide . No gopher ride today as it is Tuesday and that means a craft morning with beautiful friends , Sandy and Fran .

Doug was not his usual cheeky self though . I think that the heat got to him and he is tired from the last ride still . I do have to watch him closely in hot weather as he does not like drinking water and if I don't push/ NAG  him to do that he tends to get a bit lethargic . Here is hoping that there is a cool change for tomorrow and he will feel better .


Tonight I am sharing a vintage style card using printed material
 from Kraftyhands CD , Femme Fatale.

Card base is SU , Marina Mist .
Just added a few rhinestones from my stash .
