Card Positioning Systems - #136

The challenge over at Card Positioning Systems this week is the sketch below and I thought that I would try it out and see what I came up with.


This is my interpretation of the above sketch. I hope you like it, I am not sure so the jury is out on this one lol.

It is a very short post tonight as it is 1.45am and I have taken so long to do this post because Blogger was having issues. That is it for me until tomorrow.

Get Sketchy - #7

Today over at the Get Sketchy challenge blog the sketch for this week is the one shown below. One would think that the easier the sketch the easier it is to do but you would be mistaken lol because I had no problems doing everything up until I had to put an image on my card then I just sat and stared into space wondering what I was going to put there. I got this second hand stamp set from a SU demo because it was nice a vintagy so I wanted to use it asap so this card is the one that had to have one of the images on it hehehe.


I absolutely love this image and you will be seeing lots of it in the near future for sure. Okay that is it for me tonight.

365 Cards - #206 - Tuesday Triplets

Well we have to put three of everything on our card today over at 365 Cards except for the sentiment of course! I think I passed this one girls. I stamped three flowers, I have three butterflies and the flower embellishment stack there has three of them on it. Now wasn't that painless?

Okay the card is over with and now on to something which has been bothering me lately. Where is everyone over at 365 Cards? Do I smell? Am I not wearing the right deodorant? Don't ya'll wanna play anymore? What? What? What is it? Pam said it was because you all are still settling in after the summer and the kids going back to school etc. I hope it's that and that you are all fit and well and no one is too sick to play. . .in saying that. . .Where are you Fi? Don't leave me here with a couple of my friends we all wanna play together in the card pile don't we girls? Okay enough whinging for now. That is all from me tonight over and out!

365 Cards - #203 - Feeling Lucky

I am feeling very lucky today and so is everyone else over at 365 Cards today as the challenge is to use a symbol for luck. I chose the Kanji set from SU because I have always believed that all oriental symbols are lucky. To prove that theory I received and silver necklace years ago from my Dad who was in the Merchant Navy at the time and it was an oriental symbol for good luck and that very same symbol is the love one in this Kanji set and if I could find the necklace now I would take a pic to show you.

Okay so that is my card today now the group of pics below is a project I am currently working on for my daughter Ashleigh. She is moving out to live with her fiance in just under two weeks (Idon't know what I will do without having my little grandaughter around all the time). I am trying hard not to cry in front of her and not doing to crash hot at it just between us. As you can tell by the title it is a budget organiser for all the different things she has to pay and save for each fortnight (two weeks). I got this idea from Custom Crops under their project videos and I fell in love with the idea of it so I got to and made one. Ash and I both love it. She wanted a vintage one which is what I have done.

If you are still with me thankyou I forgot to say earlier that this was a long post lol. This next pic is of the categories that she wants. I still have to put a torn piece of designer paper just a little bigger than the word piece yet and I am also waiting for a Teresa Collins stamp which is a list type stamp so that under each category she can put what the breakdown is and that will be adhered to the other end of each envelope with a paper clip. As you can see I still have most of the envelopes to embellish yet but I want it to be spectacular for her so I am taking my time with it.

This pic here is one that I have used a flourish stamp all over to embellish it.

This is a pic of all the different colours I have used to colour each envelope and I used Ranger's distress inks and just wiped them over the envelope to give that aged, rustic look. The beauty of the budget book is the categories can be changed quite easily as they are not adhered permanently.


This last shot is another shot of the front cover. The papers are from that lovely set of vintage papers that my bestie bought for me. I used Bella flowers and stamped a flourish and my text stamp with Ranger distress ink in Vintage Photo and inked the edges as well. I really love how it turned out. I also used my Cricut Storybook cartridge for the letters and my new Martha Stewart butterfly punch and my Bind-It-All of course to bind it. I hope you like it. I am taking this to the markets tomorrow as a sample and will take orders until I can get some made to take next market.
Okay that is it for me tonight have to get to bed earlier than I have been going lately lol.

365 Cards - #202 - Once Upon A Time

It's all about fairytales over at 365 Cards today and our card is to be inspired by your favourite fairytale. My favourite fairytale is Cinderella but the trouble was I didn't have anything in my stash that would inspire me so once again I looked to that huge gallery. . . the internet!! I found an image that I liked where Cinderella is trying on the glass slipper so obviously it was after the ball. The background paper is from DCWV Once Upon A Time paper stack of course and the Sentiment is from the Cricut Storybook cartridge. I used the Zyron to create a sticker out of it and there was glue in between the words so I sprinkled gold glitter and it stuck where the glue was. I think it gives a nice effect don't you? I made the flower embellishment out of all the papers that I used tonight but it didn't quite turn out the way I wanted it to but you know that saying. . .the beauty is in the imperfection.

That is all there is tonight people and it is Friday night where I am and here I am sitting at home lol which I might add is where I usually am. The nightlife does not call my name anymore thank goodness.

365 Cards - #201 - One, Two, Buckle My Shoe

We are to include a shoe on our card today over at 365 Cards. Didn't matter what type as long as it is a shoe. I just happened to have these lovely vintage rub-ons that I have been coveting for quite some time and tonight was the night they came out to play for a bit. Because they were vintage I decided to make a vintagy card. Once again I have used these tickets from The Timsters Range which was a RAK from Sherry a while ago. I think this may be the second one I have used hehehe. One cannot rush these things especially The Timster's things. One must covet them for quite some time before they can bring themselves to use something.

Okay so that is it for me tonight as I am hitting the bed early (it is only 10.10pm here) to make up for all the late ones I have been having lately doing cards and checking out blogs etc.

365 Cards - #200 - It's What Inside That Counts

It's all about displaying an image on the front of the card without the sentiment but the image has to portray what the sentiment is and that goes inside and has to include I Miss You. This is the challenge for today over at 365 Cards so why don't you all join us over there we don't bite you know. We are a fun group of gals enjoying sharing our cards together. I was really stuck for an idea tonight and finally resorted to the web again for an image. The result is below and I am not one for Bears on cards anymore lol but this little one was so cute I had to use him. The sentiment inside was the other part of the pic lol.


I include the words needed to complete the challenge and this little bear really does look like he is missing a special someone doesn't he? Staring out the window like that looking lost and lonely lol.

Okay I am tired and I am off to bed.

365 Cards - #199 - Shape Up!

Over at 365 Cards today the challenge was to use a hexagon as the dominating shape on your card. I very nearly did not want to do it lol and went to bed stewing on it so I was up at 6am this morning checking out everyone elses entries and I thought if they can then I can so I got to it and made my card. I know it is later than it normally would be up here but at least it is up here. I ummed and ahhed about what papers and then what image etc etc and I want to say this is the first time I have procrastinated over those things as normally I choose paper and cardstock immediately and the image comes last but I could not seem to get it together for this one . . .thanks Pam lol!!

The components look crooked in this image but I can assure they aren't. I think it was the angle that I took it perhaps. Anyway that is it for the day for me.

365 Cards - #197 - Super Sketchy Sunday

Super Sketchy Sunday over at 365 Cards today and what a sketch it is. Take a look below and see what I mean. I immediately thought of a football when I saw the image (sorry Pam) so I chose to make my oval a scallop oval so it didn't look like a football lol.

Then to add some texture I Cuttlebugged it with the Swiss Dots folder and the band over the top is Cuttlebugged with the Victorian folder. The May Arts vintage flowers are a gift from Sherry in that RAK I received a while ago now and this is the first time I have been able to bring myself to use some. I have been coveting again. . .*hangs head* I cannot seem t help myself from saving them for something special lol. I mean every card should be special or at least that is what I tell myself when I continue to covet all my lovelies lololol but tonight it was the first time it worked hehe.

I hope you enjoy my card tonight and now I am about to do another post with a challenge for the Colour Throwdown blog. This will be my first one for that challenge blog.

365 Cards - #196 - Just A Touch

Over at 365 Cards today the challenge was Just A Touch! "And here's the specific challenge: Using a stamped image (ink or digi), use black on white, and just add a touch of color somewhere. I'm going with the "less is more" theory on this one!" Those were Pam's words to the letter. I chose my SU Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set to use as well as my new DCWV Garden Party paper stack. I used SU Pastels to give the rose just a hint of Cameo Coral colour. There you have it for the day. No fuss, no drama, just plain and to the point lol.

Okay I am absolutely knackered after helping our daughter and son in law move house today so am going to have a shower, dinner and then maybe look at some online craft videos. . .yeah I know I am truly sad aren't I. Here I am on a Saturday night looking at craft videos on the net. But if anyone asks me I can just say Oh I watched videos hehehehehehe. I don't have to tell them what they were lol that is just between you and me okay. . .secret squirrel business.

365 Cards - #195 - Pretty Pattern

Today over at 365 Cards the challenge is all about gingham! "But you won't be surprised, I'm sure that this is not a simple challenge. Create a piece of clothing with gingham as the pattern. You can stamp it, print a digital image, hand-draw it, or whatever you wish to do." In Pam's own words! I again did not have any stamps or digi images with a piece of clothing in gingham so I went a searchin' on the net for a gingham dress. I finally found a vintage pattern that I thought I would be able to paper piece it was already in colour which shows a bit as the "gingham" is a bit dull for being over printed in colour on it. The gingham is from my brand spanking new DCWV Garden Party paper stack which I got today as well as the Latte stack. . . .nice!!! The pleated ribbon is also new today which I absolutely love.

So this is my card for the challenge. I hope you like it. Below is my brand spanking new Round-It-All from Zutter which I have had on layby for ages along with the tote bag for my Bind-It-All, I finally had enough money to get the layby out today and can I say I am in love with my Round-It-All!!! Makes doing corners in chipboard, tin, leather etc a breeze. I had to take a pic of me holding it of course.

Okay that is it for me today people.

365 Cards - #193 - Card Recipe & Paper Blooms - B.L.I.N.G.

Today over at 365 Cards the challenge was a card recipe and our card had to be a 5x5 card with 4 x designer papers, 3 x blossoms, 5 rhinestones, 1 x stamp or digi image and 1 x sentiment of our choice. I completed the challenge but then realised that I had used a different paper for the side panel down the right side of my card. I was talking to my daughter at the time of making this card and she had just gotten her first job. Yes I know she is nearly 21 yrs old but she has mental health issues which have always held her back. Bipolar disorder and an anxiety disorder can be quite challenging to deal with when you are young. But she managed to turn herself around and get this job and she is moving out with her partner in the next two weeks so I am so so proud of her for these big achievements. I am going to miss my little grandaughter but I will get to babysit her when Ash goes to work yay!!!!. Okay so I digress a bit. . . anyway I was talking to Ash and I picked up another designer paper from the DCWV paper stack and did not even realise that it was different until I had completed my card lol, so I am living on the edge with Gloria and Rose today for this challenge lol. This card also fits the Paper Blooms challenge this fortnight which is all about having B.L.I.N.G. on our card and my card certainly has that.

So here is my card for today. I hope you enjoy it.

365 Cards - #189 Charming & #190 Super Sketchy Sunday

I missed the challenge on Saturday over at 365 Cards because I was getting ready for the markets so I chose to combine both Charming and Super Sketchy Sunday and put them into one card. The sketch were were to follow is the one below and my interpretation is below that again.

I added the appropriate charm which is a butterfly button that I cut the shank off of and the rest of the card is based on Super Sketchy Sunday sketch.

Now as promised here is a pic of my little grandaughter Lily who turned one on Saturday with her little fairy outfit. Paul, her dad is holding her as she just blew her candles out (well Paul did anyway). She is a bit shell shocked because a room full of people sang Happy Birthday to her and she is so tired that she was falling asleep in her high chair, so we quickly lit the candles and got her out to sing to her before she went to bed.

Here is Elijah eating his lunch which he did not really want as he had filled up on party food beforehand.

This is a lovely black and white pic that my daughter Courtney took at the party of her niece Sophie. It was in colour originally but Ashleigh changed it to black and white when Courtney emailed it to her. I think it is beautiful indeed. She also had her fairy outfit on but you can't really see it in the pic.

Well that is it for me today.

365 Cards - #188 - Touchy, Feely Friday

It's Touchy, Feely Friday over at 365 Cards today! The specific challenge was to use felt or flocking on our card and since I was the proud owner of the DCWV Le Creme paper stack thanks to my bestie Sonya I was able to particapate. This paper stack has flocked sheets of 12x12 all the way through the stack so all I had to do was decide which one I wanted and I was away and running lol. The top section of my card has the flocked piece which is the dirty beige/greeny colour of the damask and the bottom piece is just plain, no flocking. I decided to use my favourite stamp set SU Friends 24-7 which has the damask stamp in it which went perfectly with the paper.

That is it for me today since it is rather late and I have to help my daughter tomorrow as we are having a birthday party for Lily which will be her first one. . .and it is a fairy party and everyone including the adults has to wear something glittery even the blokes.

365 Cards - #187 - Label It

Today over at 365 Cards the challenge was to label it by putting a label on your card and if you did not have one then use the Campbells soup label lol. I had these two lovely labels in my stash from Sophias outfit (not the one I used today) and one from Ash's outfit (I used this one). Whenever I see nice labels on our clothing I usually keep them. I took a pic of the label I used today of the back of the label so you could see it was actually a bonafide label lol.


This is the card I made using the label. It has a plastic overlay on it as well which I kept on. The brand is Obvious lol. I left it at that and did not put a sentiment on it, I will when I know what I am going to use it for. For instance - Obvious. . . that I love you! Or something like that lol. I added the little bit of Navy blue to because it seemed to be to much dusty pink and cream. Anyway that is it for me today, I know I am late with my card but hey no pressure on myself to perform right?

365 Cards - #183 - Super Sketchy Sunday

It is Super Sketchy Sunday over at 365 Cards today and what a sketch it is. As you can see below this is the sketch Pam had us follow.

This is my interpretation of the sketch. I used the DCWV Once Upon A Time paper stack as well as their Neutrals textured paper stack.


Finally here is a pic of my little grandson Elijah. I spent the day with my daughter Courtney and the children but they were both sick with the flu (I wonder why). Elijah had just woken from his sleep in a very unhappy mood and Lily was still asleep when I left as she has been really unwell with high temps and all and was very unhappy. Courtney is taking her to the doctors tomorrow. Elijah was pointing to the light and this is the nearest I could get to a smile from my boy today lol he was giving nothing away at all. As a matter of fact the only thing that perked him up a little was bringing him home with Nanny for a visit with Poppa and Sophie (his cousin) and of course Aunty whom he adores. Gosh I love my grandchildren. Look at him is he not the most handsome little boy? I can never refuse him anything and he knows he can get around his Nanny.

Okay folks that is all from me today I will try and get a pic of Lily later this week and post a pic of her she is getting cuter by the day and will turn one next weekend we are having a fairy party for her.

365 Cards - #180 - Going Vintage

Today is my day over at 365 Cards as it is all about Going Vintage!!! As soon as I saw it I went straight to my work desk and got to it. The designer paper I used for the scalloped edging and the background was from a new pack that I got on Monday from my bestie Sonya. . .Hi Love!! It is from Grant Archival and it is the Vintage Collection. I love it. The image itself is from some vintage paper that my daughter had in her stash and then passed it along to me so it has been here for a while lol and today she came out so too speak hehehe. I used this crocheted lace that I bought from a market some time ago which when you pull a thread it actually gathers. . .cool!! So I made my flower out of it with one of my vintage pearl buttons in the centre. The textured cardstock is using one of the new Cuttlebug Folders - Victorian and that is that my friends!


I cannot believe I finished my card this early in the evening as it is only 4.45pm here in Australia and I only saw the challenge at 3.50pm so not bad going lol.

365 Cards - #179 - Checkerboard Background

Today over at 365 Cards the challenge was to have a checkerboard background and how you embellish the card is up to you. So I did my checkerboard background and then I used these new Bella chipboard shapes that I bought a few weeks ago down in Uralla near Tamworth. This is the first time I have used them and I was itching to use the crown and could not wait any longer. I used Ranger distress ink on both the heart and the crown and then embellished it with Kaisercraft rhinestones.

Okay short and sweet today for you. Thanks to everyone for your well wishes I think the antibiotics are doing their job but I hate taking them.

365 Cards - #166 - Card Recipe

Today over at 365 Cards the challenge was a card recipe and your card had to be a 4 x 7 sized card, 3 x patterned papers, 5 x blossoms, wet embossing and had to include glitter. I was q uite happily making my card and then I thought I would put ribbon on between the two bottom patterned papers so I cut the slit on the left side of the card and placed the ribbon on and I thought Mmmm that looks great and then I realised that I was not supposed to have ribbon on it. . . .DOH!!!! So I had to remove it (but I will replace it once pics and post are done). I put glitter in the middle of each flower and the stamp set I used (a real cheapy one) I have had sitting in my stash for quite some months so I decided to ink her up. I used Ranger Distress inks in Black Soot and Fired Brick and then embossed them with clear embossing powder. I also edged the flowers in Black Soot. I used DCWV La Creme (my new one) paper stack. The flowers are Kaisercraft and the black shimmer cardstock is from my stash. Okay that is it and since I have virtually listed all my supplies in the post I will not bother with a supply list at the end.

The glitter glue is not quite dry but I was getting impatient to do my post so it will look better when they are dry. That is it for me. I want to thank everyone for all your well wishes and I gotta say that this is the first day in over a week that I have felt better than I have been. Still have little to no voice and no sense of smell or taste but don't feel so weak and queasy. This is good!!
