MIUM at Gina K designs

Gina K Designs has a challenge every Monday and it has been ages since I entered. This week the theme appealed to me so I decided to join in. It is a stamping trifecta. In other words there has to be 3 stamped images on your card.

If you want to enter, here is the link:

My entry used a very old stamp set called Eclectic Summer and it was one of the first GKD sets I ever purchased. The stamps are still just as good as the day I bought them. Anyway here is my card

The sentiment is from a stamp duo called "If I Had a Flower"

Hope you are having a creative day,

MIA

Hello Lovely people,
     MIA!!! I have been to New Zealand on a cruise during the last part of March and into April. I had a glorious time, but unfortunately came home with pneumonia. The ship was from the Royal Caribbean line called "Radiance of the Seas". They sure know how to spoil you and wait on you hand and foot. I didn't want to leave except I needed to get better. Hence, I have had to lie low since my return recuperating so no craft room time.

     Yesterday, feeling slightly better,  I returned to my room and had an order for wedding cards. You know that time in life when all your kid's friends start getting married and the rush is on! Everyone wants to get married together. Well here is the result of my craft time.

Silhouette Cameo cut files

 

A lot of my Inspiration came from Pinterest, so if you see something you like feel free to copy like I did. The cute owls are from a punch by Stampin' Up.

Hope you are having a creative day,

My Husband's Birthday

Last month I had so many birthday's that I forgot to post a picture of the card that I made for my DH. He is into go karting in a big way. This is great, as it is more expensive than anything I do!!(big laugh here) but we both are guilty of spending on our hobby.

          Anyway, when I got my Silhouette for Christmas I was browsing the store and found a go kart driver. This was amongst my first purchases as I knew I would find it very handy. This is my creation using all the dies I purchased for my Silhouette. His gokart colours are Orange and Blue which I used for the balloons. Go Babe! and I hope you like your card.

         Hope you are having a creative Day........

                                                                    xx   Liz

Happy Birthday to my Best Friend

My oldest and dearest friend is celebrating her birthday today. Wishing you the happiest of birthdays, Gail.

 Because we live in different states, I don't get to be there today, but tomorrow we are meeting up in Melbourne for a fun weekend together. Here is my card that I am giving her for the occasion.

 Her favourite colour is green so of course her dress had to be green. The stamp is from Stamping Bella   -  Uptown Girls Pattie and Dottie Friends Forever. The image is coloured in with copics. Pearls and lace just add the touch of glamour!

I hope you are having a creative day,

This is going to be my entry:

I hope you like it. 

I have used the lovely stamps from IBS: Garden Seed Packets and Vintage Tickets, both which have been embossed in Gold on cream cardstock. I have coloured the flowers with copics and added some purple cord and a flower. The background paper is from the Violet Crush paper pad by Kaisercraft.

I hope you are having a creative day.....

February's Post

2014 started with me running...... let me explain it like this.

 I had all the best intentions of maintaining my blog like I finished last year off;.... writing posts at least every week. Has that happened?? NO

Here it is nearly at the end of February and I have only had 3 entries. I am going to try to make amends in the next few weeks.

Today, I am in my craft room after 3 very busy weeks getting lots of music stuff organized for my church for the coming year.  You know the photos I posted late last year onto here of my NEW church, well ...... that lovely new building is to be officially opened this Saturday and I have trying to get the band together and choosing music etc. Hence limited time to get crafty and blog..

SO SORRY.

Today I am showing a few cards that I sent to help a friend. She supplies cards to the oncology ward at her hospital where she has treatment and I thought this was an opportunity to donate some surplus cards that I have in my stash.                                                              

 I hope you are having a Creative Day,
