items used: pp - Cosmo Cricket, cardstock, Kaisercraft rub ons, queen and co felt, ribbon, glitter letters, doodlebug design letters, Jenny Bowlin bingo card, 3 bugs in a rug sticker, American crafts thickers, hat pin, ek success punch (a new purchase), button, lace, crochet cotton.

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.

For mothers day I got a recipe stand to 'showcase' my newest layouts on in the living room.

items used: cardstock, pp - making memories & kaisercraft, glimmermist, misc ticket, cosmo cricket tiny types, thickers, 3 bugs in a rug stickers, felt shape, chipboard star.

Happy (xmas page with a difference)

I have been playing around this past week making these ribbon flowers. I found this vintage lace from the op shop and turned it into these beautiful flowers. Now I have gone a little crazy and stocked up on lace, as I think the flowers look better made from lace than ribbon. I also picked up a 250g bag of great buttons on special (old stock) from Aldi Seven Hills for $4.99. Great buy!
This is another oldish photo, xmas 2008, lunch time at mum and dads playing out in the sun. The kids still holding onto their new toys from Santa.
Items used: making memories pp, kaisercraft bling, bazzill, lace, buttons, kindy glitz, ribbon, gold twine, journal spot, metal clip, paper doily, heart ghost shape, staples, American Craft thickers, I-kan-dee tag (ho ho ho), paper flower made from scrap pp - bo bunny and Kaisercraft.
