Monkey...Hang in there

Hi Everyone,

In between taking kids to and picking kids up from school holiday camps I have managed to get some creating done.

It has been the best of both worlds, lol.

Today I am sharing a card using a new (to me) digital stamp from Gerda Steiner Designs (link below).

Maddie's Blue Hat

Hi Everyone,

Well it is the start of the school holidays here in Australia.

I am hoping to get a lot of crafty time in!!

Today I am sharing a card using a new background technique I learnt while at retreat last weekend.

I just love how it turns out.

Mind you, it is also a lesson in patience as I have to wait for it to dry, lol.

Just for Fun

Hi Everyone,

Today is a sad day.  Due to personal reasons I have decided to step down from the Crafty Sentiments Design Team.  It is a decision that I did not take lightly, however at this stage, it needed to be done.

I have loved creating with these gorgeous images and I thank Suzette and Celine for having me.  Anyhow xxxxx

Today is the start of a new challenge over on the Crafty Sentiments Challenge Blog.

The theme is 'For someone special'.

For my inspiration I have used 'Just for Fun'

Ingredients:

Stamp: Just for Fun

Flowers:   I am Roses

Other:  Swarovski Crystals

Until next time
