Last *last* Top Note card

May 20th, 2010

topnote hello1

Well maybe not the last card I make with it…but perhaps the last one that I show you for a while!!  I have Buck (the Big Shot) sitting on my desk and it’s so easy to reach for him and get myself a card whipped up in no time.

This was seriously a 5 minute card.  What’s that?  You could tell??  Oh well!!  LOL

And this next picture is what happens when your three year old sees you taking pictures of cards.  ”Take one of ME Mummy!!!”

Miss Alexandra and Ted. Whom she informed me today is a Boy and a Girl because he is brown.  Of course!

Until next time!
Happy Stamping!

More top notes

May 18th, 2010

Hi hi!  I told you i’d be back today.  Albeit later than I had originally planned in my head!!  It’s a shame that what goes on in my head never really seems to come to fruition in the real world.  Does anyone else have that problem??  lol

topnote ruffles

These two cards I made using a similar layout to the one on yesterday’s card.  Instead of the pleated paper I did some ruffled ribbon in Elegant Eggplant.  Love that colour.

I really love this colour combination.  Sahara Sand, Basic Grey, Elegant Eggplant.  Beautiful.  I used my trusty Organic Outlines.  And sentiments from Sweet Little Sentiments and Best yet.  The buttons and Brads are SU Basic Grey Corduroy.  I love the texture on this card!!

Anyway, hope you’re having a great week so far.  Hope to get back to you with some more stuff i’ve been doing soon!!

Until then,
Happy Stamping!

Orange and green should never be seen

May 17th, 2010

Or was that purple and green?  On the cover of a magazine??  Anyway..I’m a BIG fan of Tangerine Tango and Old Olive!  Big. Fan. hee

This card will be winging it’s way across the miles to a lovely lady whom I just know will appreciate the colours as much as I do.  Orange makes her happy on the inside as well.  I haven’t posted it yet.  I’ve not even written on the inside, but as I was making it I couldn’t help but think of her lovely smiling face so it’s definitely gotta go to her!! :-)  Do you ever do that?  Make something and then think, oh XYZ would love this?  And then send it?  Hmmnn.. I think I need to be doing it more often that’s for sure!!

I cannot go past this layout at the moment.  I’ve got some more cards to show you using it tomorrow.  I know.  That will be three posts in a row.  Don’t be falling over.  I might forget yet! LOL

See you round tomorrow!! (or the next day!!  haahahaha).  Also, for those that are interested, I’ve started doing Ali Edwards “A week in the life” today.  I just did it.  I’m not going to wait until a week is less hectic or more normal.  Define normal I say!!  So stay tuned, because I plan to SCRAP!!  Eek!  It’s been a while!!

Until Next time,
Happy Stamping!!

For Megan…

April 12th, 2010

Just a little quick post this morning.  I’ll work on getting some other posts  up this week!!  I have done a little stamping this week.  Not too much as it seems to be impossible for me to create without making a mess!  Hard to imagine I know!!

My beautiful and very dear friend (and downline) Megan celebrated her birthday last week.  I was SO organised and had made her a little card and had a present ready because I was going to see her on the weekend.  And then, I left it at home!  So typically me!  So Meges, here is the card lovely and you’ll have to wait for the gift!!

I made her an easel card/desktop calendar “thing”.  And that is definately the technical term for it!  I’ve used the very new Soft Suede along with More Mustard & Taken with Teal.  I’ve used Vintage Vogue as well.  Hope you like it!!

Also because sometimes Megan thinks I’m fibbing, i’m recording here a few photos of my very tidy craft room!  I know it’s only tidy because we are having open homes, however, it is still tidy and that counts!!  lol!! So Meges, PROOF!!  hahaha (you know I love you!)

Happy Stamping!!
