Altered Notebook

Hello,I thought I would give you a break from the Christmas cards,though I do have more to show you later......lol......I have been creating so many things over the last couple of weeks there is alot to show,but some of it was also done multiple times so nothing to show there.Here is another of the journals, I made for my daughters school friends for Christmas, and to my delight they are all finished......yehhhhhh.The gorgeous Hydrangeas are from Bizzy Becs and they are new to the store and done in colours exclusive to Bizzy Becs.I received these on Friday and couldn't wait to use them and the colours are brilliant,every colour was easy to match to my papers and other embellshments.I also found it hard to find Hydrangeas in lots of colours and Bec has quite a few colour options.........I am really impressed with them.The love heart pearls I also got from Bizzy Becs and were a perfect match for the Hydrangeas,I can't see them in store yet,so I will find out when they will be.Must go and do dinner,enjoy your week.

NOTE - The heart pearls I got from Bizzy Becs will be available in about two weeks,so keep an eye out for them.

More Christmas Cards

Hello all,I am sorry I didn't get back on Saturday,I don't know about you but with all the entertaining and cardmaking for other people,I am struggling to get to my blog.I am also in the process of making two birthday cards that need to be finished by Wednesday,I won't be showing these as they are the same as what I have already made.They are the Martini cards and these are the last two,I have made about 10-12 over the last few months,the girls are all 18 and wanted the same card but different colours.I am so over making them now......lol......You can see the one I posted a while ago here.

This Santa card I made was a case from Dawn at My Stamping Thyme and I just loved it,it is the cutest Santa card I have seen.I used my scallop punch for the beard as I didn't have a small enough snowflake that I liked,but I am so happy with how it turned out.You can see Dawn's card here.Must go to the gym now and will catch up with you all later.

More Christmas Cards

Hello all,I have been very busy the last two days.Yesterday my daughter had her High School orientation day which I thought only went for one hour.......silly me,it went from 9am - 12pm and then I had to do some grocery shopping.This morning we had to go to an assembly for my daughter and she received a gold award,we are so proud of her and for the rest of today I have been cooking and tidying a little for guests I will be having over tonight.So I will probably catch up with you all tomorrow,but I wanted to show you this card,it is so elegant and so quick to make.I originally saw this on Becca Feeken's blog Amazing Paper Grace and she is listed under overseas blogs I like to visit, if you want to have a look.I don't know if I have copied it exactly,I can't remember as I saw it quite a while ago,but I thought I would show you so you could have a go at making some quick Christmas cards.Well must go,thanks for stopping by.

Another Christmas Card

Good morning all,its 1.30am here so a quick post from me.This is another of the Chrissy cards I made,I saw this image on a card Tracey Feeger made a while ago and just had to get it.The digi image is available for purchase at Doodle Palace.I have coloured it with my Copic Ciao's and the fantastic ticket is one from Bizzy Bec's digi store,I love how this card turned out and I am loving how quick it is to colour with copics.Sorry I am not linking at the moment,my internet provider has only given me limited downloads and it needs to last us all another 2 weeks.If you look on my sidebar there is already a link to Bizzy Bec's Digi Store,Doodle Palace and Tracey Feeger is under Australian blogs I visit.Thanks for stopping by.

Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer................

Hello my lovely blogging friends,thankyou so much for waiting for me while I had a break,though I don't know that it was much of a break................I also had alot of cleaning to do.This is one of the Christmas cards I had to make,I have seen these on a few blogs with 3 Reindeers,but I wanted to make a standard card so I only put one Reindeer on and it had to be Rudolph.I don't know who came up with the original idea but I love it,they are so much fun to make.I have used Flowersoft and Stickles for the snow,and one of the large 9mm rhinestones that Kaisercraft have for Rudolph's nose.Well going to catch up on what you have all been doing,have a good day.

Bizzy Becs Digi Downloads is Now Open

Hi all my lovely blogging buddies,thankyou all so much for your comments over the last week.I did get my internet sorted out,my internet provider have given me another 2 gigs of download and I am so grateful for that.I am sure someone has used our downloads, as on Sunday 22nd November I was at my friends baby shower and I was there all day.Funny though that same day 1650 MB was used,not possible I was not home until the evening and didn't put the computer on until late.We do have a password for our internet,so I will say to you all be very careful and check your usage daily,which is something I will now be doing.BTW my friend loved her nappy cake and sent myself and 2 others friends a large bunch of flowers for organising a baby shower for her.She is just the sweetest and it is just so nice to still be in contact with some school friends.

Now some exciting news, Bec my gorgeous friend from Bizzy Becs has just opened her digi store and it is fantastic, she has done an amazing job and is one talented lady.So pop over to her new store here and check out all of her fabulous digi images and papers,and the best news is you well get them straight away..........no waiting for the post.Bec is also looking for some more design team members,so if you are interested have a look at the main page for all the details.I can't wait to catch up with you all on Monday,take care and enjoy your weekend.
