Birthday special




Good day

I had a special request for 2 birthday cards on Thursday, but I spend the most of Friday and the whole of Saturday next to the hockey field. Our under 13 team made it to the finals and shared gold by drawing the game 0-0, but with 8 seconds shootout they lost 2-1. But they surprised everybody and a I think themselves too, to go all the way. Yesterday I had time to put my papers together and I made time to colour my image - Fancy from Saturated Canary - today. The designer paper is from Scruffy Little Cat, Crafter's Companion.

Challenges I'm joining:
The Outlawz Tuesday Colour challenge 13 September - Monochrome

Mayde's puppy bathtime




Good day

Spring is here



Good day

Here in the southern hemisphere the temperatures have risen and everywhere the is a new colour popping up....especially green, though we are still waiting for a good shower of rain. To celebrate spring I used Spring flowers from Conie Fong and my designer paper is from First Edition Hideaway, was inspired by Double D's on the farm challenge. On Facebook Conie Fong's challenge this month is spot and stripe, I opted for a bit of different spots and stripes with the flower dots and lace stripes.

Challenges I used as inspiration:
Crafty Catz #337 - Anything goes with option of no square cards
Crafting By Design - September - Anything goes
Tuesday Morning Sketches #368
Double D - Down on the farm (yellow sunflowers and picking flowers in the field)
Penny's Paper-Crafty #294 - Anything goes
