Some more cards

A couple of cards I made. Using mostly hero arts & ranger for the top 3, and some Making memories for the bottom.

I'm making a real effort to use the things that I just had to have - but have sat unopened in my drawer.

Hopefully I can make some sort of dent in my stash this week,

Someone's a hoarder

I felt the urge last night to organise my punches. Which resulted in me cleaning out four drawers and 2 baskets. I really should have sorted out what I wanted to keep and what I wanted to give away at that time, but I didn't.

You should have seen the things I found. Mini books from 2008 that were never completed. And quite a few punches that were very similar to 2 others.

I've reassigned my Amy Butler totes - one now holds all my recent stamps, and the other holds buttons brads and bling.

If I want to get serious about organising, I really need to purge....and go through everything.

I was happy I did those few things last night because when I went to make a card today, I could actually find what I needed very quickly!

I just might have a productive scrapping week yet ;o)

Happy Birthday to me

31 today ;o)
I got a gorgeous bracelet, a buddha for my garden, a diary, underwear, a photo frame and a key ring. I also got this motherload of scrapping stuff.

Yummy AC Letterbox

Some papers

Stickers and some sticky vellum

Stickers, flair & ribbon - AC Letterbox, of course!

Hero Arts & AC letterbox stamps

More Letterbox bits

Pens & inks

Trying out this adhesive - just don't know what to use since not having Kokuyo dots anymore

Yummy Hero Arts cards. I am loving the new colours!

New Hero Arts stamps. Yum yum yum!

And some cute cute punches!!

Have sort of put it all away. Hoping to get some time to play with it in the next couple of days.

I really think I need to reorganise my scrap room. The only thing I've made since being here is cards. That needs to change.

My beautiful hubby made me brekky this morning and he's going to cook me dinner tonight.

I can't wait.

31 is pretty good so far!!

Almost forgot...

How silly am I? I almost completely forgot to post my lucky last card!!

This was from an idea a while back on the hero blog, where a lady had stamped a bauble on an acetate card and applied glitter to the back of the image. I didn't have a bauble stamp - so I thought I'd try different colours of glitter on Santa. I love how he turned out.

I started and completed my Christmas shopping today. Just got a few other things to get - but that can wait a little longer. It's a bit of a relief now that I've got the majority of it done. I am usually finished by July 31st. Not this year.

I'm really grateful that I wasn't out doing the shopping on Christmas Eve, although I really thought that was what it was coming to.

Only have a couple more days of kids at school, then a job on Sunday - then I can enjoy the holidays with the kids.

I just might get some scrapping time in there ;o)

Long time no post

Just been generally busy. Lots to do at home. And not to mention, my computer is in the hottest room in the house.
I have made a couple of cards though and I thought I'd share.
One a day until they run out ;o)

Enjoy!!
Check back tomorrow for another one

A card

The first thing I did with my kit was grab the stamp that I ordered and embossed it in clear powder over top of red, green, pearl & yellow maya mists. I then used broken china distress ink to cover it all, then I cut it out.

I hate the green tape - but it's a bit late now. Big oops!!

Hoping to get some time to play tomorrow. It's definately the right weather for it at the moment.

Happy World Cardmaking Day!!

I managed 15 I think.

All Christmas cards. The holly & leaves are hand coloured with Copic Spica glitter markers.

The stamp is Hero Arts and the rest is Making Memories.

They were fun to make and I really like how they turned out.

I'm feeling good that I made a start on them. 20 down and quite a few more to go ;o)

Cards Galore

So with just a couple of supplies, I whipped up quite a few basic cards. A nice fat little stash of birthday cards. And a couple of simple chrissy cards. I still have a ton of my cosmo earth love pad left. Such sweet papers!!

Some more goodies

I bought some more goodies from TwoPeas last week. Received them today, just in time for the weekend.
I have been trying to get my hands on those Hero Arts 'Thanks" stamp set for ages. So when it finally popped back up in stock, I snatched it up straight away.
Anyway - hope you have a fabulous weekend.

Mine involves cleaning for an inspection tomorrow. Fun stuff.

Hopefully I'll get to play a bit tomorrow night.
