And YES - re: my previous post - i now design cards to sell at Aussie Cards for Sale so if you know of anyone who would like to buy gorgeous handmade cards online I'd love it if you could refer them :)

Masking tape

Some different ideas using masking tape - LO's are from an article of mine in a recent Scrapbooking Memories magazine.
I've used paint, ink, stamping, masking etc to give different effects.



Ok - well y'all have a merry christmas ya hear - I'm just filling in time on the computer waiting for Santa to arrive! Can't wait!!

Cards!

I saw this on Nerrida's blog and thought 'what a fantastic idea!' so thought I'd give it a go.
These cards are my application to be a designer for the Aussie Cards for Sale website - a great site for all your card shopping! Check out the details HERE.




Wish me luck!

Thanks to everyone who has emailed or left messages - it's been so wonderful hearing from you all!! And a huge congrats to all the other Masters for 2011 and now I can't wait to see the mag with everyone's submission and all the Honourable Mentions!

Bo Bunny Crush 'stuff'

In my DT parcel this month from Anna I received Bo Bunny "Crush" and Bo Bunny "Cambridge" - both of which I'd put on my wishlist from her. Kinda funny really as I never thought of myself as a huge Bo Bunny fan, yet it wasn't until I got the parcel that I realised I'd put 2 lots of their stuff on my 'list'. Anyhoo...I digress...
Also (digressing more....) funny story - of the stuff I got from Anna's Craft this month, I scrapbooked this photo of my niece's graduation with the 'girly' range and now I'm left with "Cambridge" and Pink Paislee's "Old School". Wouldn't you think BOTH of those ranges would be very suitable to scrapbook a graduation photo?? And I use the girly range to scrap my only school photo.......hindsight is a wonderful thing ;)





Thanks for stopping by! I'll be back in a bit with my other LO's.
