new things

I have been really enjoying my scrapbooking lately, and I am finally getting through my mountain of 'to scrap' photos. Have 2 to share today. This 1st one is the cabin we stayed at for our 10th Wedding anniversary and its the 1st time I have played around with using a real doily on the page. I picked up this doily from the Salvos store for 50 cents!! Bargain! And i love the effect it gives to this page.
Items used: pp - stampin up, cosmo cricket tiny types, vinyl thickers, craftworks chipboard, doily, paper inklings rub on, enthaily flowers and leaves, kaiser, Gt and bella flowers, pearls, staples, brads, prima flower centre, date stamp.



This one I also love. Came together nicely. Journalling is about our WET visit to Culburra Beach where I made everyone get out in the rain and wind for this photo.
I am thinking of entering this in the sketch challenge for SFS again - I loved the sketch so much, this is just altered and flipped.
items used: pp - stampin up, cosmo cricket, bazzill scallop cardstock, li'l davis chipboard, foam tape, ink, gemstone, craftworks chipboard.

Quilled cards

I have been making some quilled cards the last few weeks (but they are quite time consuming). Last year I started making some and taught myself, and then I sold them at work. I got a good response from the cards I made, so I am making ALOT more, all styles, to try and sell again just before Xmas. I quite like these ones.
The stamps on these are from Stampin' Up.

comedy chocolate - intrigued???

I couldnt resist buying this funny block of chocolate for hubby. The Marital Bliss bar. Just perfect.
50% his and of course a larger 50% hers. Classic!! I found it at Coles and i have never seen this before, and there were others in this range, and its Swiss chocolate too.
