Another Bugaboo Christmas

Ok I'm back with another chrissy card,but before I get onto my card I just want to tell you what I did yesterday.I said I was going on the treadmill for an hour,well I did go on the treadmill but only for 30 min and I decided to use the Wii EA sports pack for the rest of my exercise.My daughter told me to do the high impact and well stupid me did.Who said exercising with these is easy,well my legs from top to bottom,my shoulders and back are so sore today and they were actually sore after I finished as well.....lol....I think it was the inline skating that did it.The lower you squat the faster you go and then when you get to a ramp you have to jump,well I didn't think the damn thing was going to end......lol.......and I was so determined to finish.But  that was not all after a few other exercises I had to do the darn skating again,let me tell you the body almost packed it in.......lol......Well,I had to go shopping today because I am so behind with everything for christmas.I was so slow walking up the stairs and getting in and out of the car, and because of that I am still deciding whether I should get on the treadmill or not.I also have a formal function to go to tomorrow evening and I want to be able to walk and in heels....lol....Thats enough from me,I did get a little carried away.This card is another simple card using another fabulous Bugaboo image and you can get him here.I have used my new Whiff of Joy Snowflake Trio die and covered the snowflakes in Diamond Dust,the die and digi ticket are  available at Bizzy Becs.Enjoy your evening.

A Bugaboo Christmas

Hi all,I tried to visit you last night, but my internet when down,so I decided to clean my messy desk and boy it hasn't looked this good in months.Anyway here is my next chrissy card,I am behind in making my cards, so I  have been trying to keep them clean and simple.Well I tried to keep this one as simple as possible,but just couldn't help myself,I had to add the swirl and poinsettia....lol.....and now I am much happier with it.The image is from Bugaboo and you can get it here,they also have 50% off for November only.So if you want something best get it now as you may only have a few hours left before the sale ends.The Digi ticket,Magnolia swirl die and Poinsettia die were all purchased at Bizzy Becs.Bizzy Becs also has a christmas sale on at the moment,so hop on over there before you miss out.Well best be off,got to get dinner ready and get on that treadmill for an hour.Thanks for stopping by.

Christmas Cards

Hi all,I have been busy catching up on my chrissy cards after getting all my DT work done,so the next few posts will be dedicated to Christmas cards.Here are two of them,the first was done using a free image from Leaves of Time,the images are fabulous and very old fashioned.........so if you like this style it is well worth a look.The brad,charm,flowersoft and digi ticket are all available at Bizzy Becs.The second card is a case of a Stampin'Up! demonstrator Marelle Taylor,I loved the look of her cards and wanted to give it a go.Marelle made 3 cards and I have combined the ideas from 2 of them to make this card.The dove is covered in glitter,but it is hard to see,I did have trouble taking a photo of this one.Well must go,I have to read to my little girl,enjoy your evening.

Naughty or Nice ?

Hi all,OMG I can't believe I have hardly posted over the last two weeks.I have been really busy with some DT things,I can't tell you yet what it is,but something is exciting is happening at Bizzy Becs so keep a look out.I have also done some cleaning and every night I read to my 4 year old and then she wants me to lie down with her until she falls asleep,well guess who also falls asleep.....lol......,all these late nights are catching up with me.Anyway,I had some time to do a card for me,I have had this image sitting on my desk for a few days and have been itching to colour it...........I just love these sexy images.I purchased the Kenny K Christmas pack which came with these accessories,I merged the Santa hat and present with Lady Raven one of the Gothik Angelz.The papers are digi papers I purchased from Bearly Mine Designs and these ones are the Christmas Dreams set.The oval nestabilities and Magnolia Poinsettia die were purchased from Bizzy Becs and the sentiment is a freebie available at Bizzy Becs store blog,as soon as I saw it I knew it would be perfect for these images.Well it is late again and I am getting tired,looking forward to seeing what you have all been up to tomorrow.Enjoy your day.

Bizzy Becs September Competition

Good morning all,I am back and I actually have a card to show.Monday was the first day I could sit at my computer and craft desk,so my first job was to get my DT cards done.This is the first and it is for Bizzy Becs September competition and the theme is Cheerful Spring. You can make anything you like,you do have to be a Bizzy Becs customer and even if you have only purchased off her once you can still enter.The prize for this challenge is a $20 gift voucher to spend at Bizzy Becs,how cool is that........you can choose anything you like.I was running out of time to get my card completed so I needed a quick colouring image, this Priscilla Styles butterfly image was perfect and so right for the theme.The string pearl,roses,hat pins and nestability dies are available at Bizzy Becs.The vintage ticket is available at Bizzy Becs digi store and comes as a whole sheets with many different words.I know I have included two pictures again,I can't seem to get everything in the picture when I use lots of glitter.Don't forget to stop by the rest of the DT and see their gorgeous creations.Thanks for stopping by.

Bizzy Becs Digi Image and Friday Sketchers

Good morning,I have a Bizzy Becs Digi card for you today.Bec had some trouble with her digi store and it is now back up.This card was made with one of the images available and also a vintage ticket.I just love these,they are so different to a standard ticket and look fabulous on your creations.The roses are from Bizzy Becs online store and lucky me received some hatpins handmade by Bec.I am not sure if she will be selling these hatpins,but there are some Maya road ones available.I have also used the 4mm teal pearls for the corners and coloured the image with my copics.This card is being entered into Friday Sketchers and what a fabulous sketch to work with,I am loving the circle backgrounds at the moment.

Now onto some more news,Bec is looking for 4 DT members to join me in promoting her online store.So if you are interested and would love to apply,check out the details here(this is a link to her online store,the information is towards the bottom of the screen).I think that covers everything,I must catch up on some comments now and will have check the rest tomorrow as it is 12.50am here,another late night for me.Thanks for stopping by.

Some Christmas cards I received and a Bizzy Becs Card

Hello all,I was supposed to post this yesterday and didn't get a chance,I have been busy again.I still have some baking to do.........nothing like getting it done at the last minute....lol.....I also had to go to the shops AGAIN, I forgot a few things and now I am so tired.But I still don't get an early night and will drag myself to the gym in the morning,as they will be closed for about a week.Above are the handmade chrissy cards I received this year and I love them,I don't get many as most of my friends don't craft so I cherish the ones I do get.The cute Merry one was made by my long time friend Sandra,we met when we first joined the bank and OMG I just realised that will be 20 years ago next year.The reindeer one is from Debbie,who I met while working in the bank......she made this fab card at one of Teneale Williams classes.The Dove one was made by Karen also at a class with Teneale Williams and how elegant is it,Karen introduced me to Stampin'Up!.The little Christmas fairy was made by Bec from Bizzy Becs and isn't it adorable,I met Bec through her fabulous online store,where I do most of my craft shopping.

Now onto my card,I made this card with Bizzy Becs Digi image and Digi music papers,which I just love and know I will use heaps.The ticket is also one from Bec,it was a test one so I am not sure if it is available,but I will check with Bec.It was a blank ticket and I just had to add my sentiment.The flowers I used are also available at Bizzy Becs,the sweet little image was coloured with my copics.I am pleased with how this turned out,I hope you like it.

Creative Inspirations Colour Challenge - Red,Green & Blue

Good evening,todays card is my DT card for Creative Inspirations.The challenge was to use the colours red,green and blue.Well, this was difficult,I decided to go through my papers and find anything with these colours and came across my trusty Stampin'Up! papers Summer Picnic,now retired.These papers were perfect and I couldn't believe the exact colours.I used Bizzy Becs image Hippy Girl Jewels,I thought she was also a perfect match for these colours.So why not really challenge yourself with these colours and join in the fun,I hope to see some of your creations.Thanks for stopping by.

Mojo Monday #83

Hi everyone,I finally got a card finished for Mojo Monday and didn't miss the deadline.I had to flip the sketch sideways for my image to fit, not usually something I do.I found another DCWV paper pack at Big W called the Green Pack,it is 70% recycled paper and I decided to use this paper with Bizzy Becs Lily,they fit perfectly together.These are not my usual colours,but I am quite pleased with how it turned out.The black hair was a little harder to shade than other colours and it hasn't turned out too bad, considering I taught myself to colour by looking at other blogs and how they colour.So thanks to all the bloggers out there that share their work and help us all to become very creative.I have been so busy the last two days I haven't had a chance to check out your blogs,I will be catching up on this tonight.Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

Creative Card Crew Challenge with Stylish Tom

I hope you have all had a fantastic day,this card was made for two challenges.For Bizzy Becs challenge to win blog candy......you have to make a male card and it has to have metal on it.I am not entering the challenge being that I am on the Design Team,but I thought I would make a card anyway.The other challenge blog I have only just found is Creative Card Crew and the challenge is to make a card with no Designer paper,so I thought I would have a go.......I have made a few cards with no Designer Paper before so I did feel comfortable with this challenge.The cute little image is Bizzy Becs Stylish Tom,I wanted a casual card for him this time,which proved a bit challenging as he is dressed up and having a Martini.....lol.....The last time I stamped him I coloured the suit black and he looked very dressy,this time I changed the suit to a brown and I think this has helped make the card look a little more casual.The brads are the only metal I have that suited a male card.I have added Dimensional Magic to his shoes and glass.Thanks for stopping by.

Stylish Tom

Hi there,I am back with my husbands Anniversary card,we have been married 14 years today and boy has it just flown by.I used Stylish Tom from Bizzy Becs new range of stamps,I think he is just adorable and could be used for Wedding,Anniversary or Special occasion cards.Bec sent me this cardmaking pack in the colours Black ,Grey and White which was used on the card.........I thought it would be so classy for my husbands Anniversary card.I covered the shoes, button, collar and glass in Dimensional magic.The thinner lines on the DP are actually glitter,it looks so much better in person.I hope you like it,my husband loved it.Have a wonderful evening,thanks for stopping by.

Hippy Girl Jewels

Good evening,I hope you have all had a great weekend.It has been raining here all week,it is great cardmaking weather.They still have fires in Melbourne, now around the beautiful Dandenong Ranges, I hope they get rain soon so they can move on and start rebuilding their lives.This card was made with Bizzy Bec's new line of stamps,this one is Hippy Girl Jewels isn't she just gorgeous.I wanted a bright card to go with the hippy image,I coloured her with my Intense watercolour pencils.The image was cut out and popped up on 3d foam squares.I used some old Daisy d's paper, finished off with a flower and used my McGills pine leaf punch and some Kindyglitz.I also used some Kaisercraft rhinestones on the pant buckle,leg buttons and flower.The idea came from Bec, here is her card.I made another card using the same image,colours and paper but a different layout.I will upload that tomorrow.Thanks for stopping by.
