Emily's School Ball

Tonight is Ball night for Lesmurdie Senior High and Emily looked stunning in her gown with her hair done. I know I am a biased mum but just look at these photos. She is going with her friend Joel. Anyway I think I'll just let the photos tell the story.

Bleach Spatter and Sponge

Hello again. I hope those here in WA are managing to keep cool with this heat wave going on at the moment. A burst of 40 deg + days to finish summer.
Today I have a card to show you that I made using a new technique I tried. Its called bleach spatter and sponge. I used bashful blue card stock for my base and then sponged Taken with Teal and Bravo Burgundy over the card and then spattered it with bleach. I decided it was about time I used my stamp set Rustic Rooster so I used it to finish the card. I also gave the handwritten sentiment that a few people have been doing a go. I'm not too keen on my handwriting but after a few practises I went with this one.

That is about all for today. Im off to keep cool under the air conditioner. Blow the electricity bill!!!!

Roses for my birthday

After a good run on posting I have been slack again. I had a busy weekend with my birthday on Sunday and have been having some quiet, lazy days since. I had a really wonderful birthday with some lovely cards and presents from my family and friends. I received 2 lovely roses in pots. The first one is a standard and smells divine and is a pale plum colour from my niece Amy and the second one from my sister in law is pink and called Princess De Monaco. I bought a couple of big pots and plan to keep them in pots in my courtyard. I picked some buds and these are the photos of them.


I hope to have some cards to show you soon. Until then have a good week

Punched Book Worm

hi again,
Punching is one of my favourite techniques so here is another card that we did at my last get together with my friends. Jennie showed us this card which is cased so has been designed by someone out there on the web. I think this book worm is so cute. I have heard from the designer of this great punched caracter and it is Ellen Kemper.
Thanks for letting me know Ellen. I do like to give credit for where the idea came from.

This is another rushed post as I am off out to rehearse singing for church on Sunday. We have a team of musicians with a few singers to lead the worship service on Sunday at LBC. I am on this week and even though its my birthday on Sunday I still plan to be there. I do love to sing.
have a good day

Happy Valentines Day

Hello and Happy Valentines Day to you.
Graham and I are going to see the movie "Valentines Day" this afternoon and then go out for dinner. He's out fishing on the boat with his son this morning so I hope he catches some fish and he has put his new cray pots in for the first time so I hope he gets at least one for himself. I don't eat Crayfish so all the more for the rest of the family.
Today I thought I would show you the card I taught to my stamp club yesterday. It is a exact case from Barb Mullikan. The technique is chalk lines. I love these colours together and everyone loved the card. The colours are Taken with Teal, Ballet Blue and Lavender Lace. I used the set Spotlight on Christmas and stem sayings.

If you are interested in doing some technique classes I am going to run a series of them with a technique sheet for a booklet as well. Just drop me a line to let me know of your interest. I will also being doing a series of punch classes.
Anyway have a great day

Punched Lady Bug

Today I have another punched card to show you. This one is a total case from Julie Case. I thought why change it when I really like it as it is. I have visitors coming any minute so its a short post again today.

Punched Poodle

As I promised I have another card to show you today. I love doing punched cards. I found this lovely poodle on a blog surf and thought she was so cute. I will have to go search for who's blog it was so I can give them credit but for now I will show you the card I made. My photography isn't that great but its something to show you anyway.

well its a short post today as its my bed time. Have a good day tomorrow.
