Hello, hello,

How are you all my sweet peeps? I hope your week has been smooth sailing and enjoyable! My week has been up and down….lots of good and lots of frustrating (like when i re-aligned the side panel of my car along a steel pole!) but ah well, we also had the wonderful pleasure of picking up Ivan (rod’s brother) and Jolene (his wife) from the airport this morning. They are the gorgeous couple we had the pleasure of being in their Bridal party last year in Canada. They have made the move back to Australia and hope to settle in Cairns….. so that is rather special for us to have more family around! It is now the weekend and I look forward to spending time with the family. We have quite a busy weekend, so I hope I have the energy to get through it all

Okay so we have another sketch for you all. I LOVE this sketch and will probably whip something else up this week with it….so versatile and super easy to use. I hope you love it to!

Here is your sketch to work with:

Here is my creation:

I love this wee lil cupcake from my PTI Baby button bits stamp set….too cute! I have paired it up with my brand new My Mind’s Eye - Stella & Rose DSP!….oh la la this stuff is delicious! I added some stitching with my machine and coloured it up with my Copic markers, adding some dazzling diamonds for some bling! This little creation is going to my sister in law, whose birthday it is tomorrow! Happy Birthday Jolene…

Okay be sure to pop on over to the Inkspirations Challenges Website to see what else the DT has whipped up and to link up your own creation too!

Have a wonderful and blessed weekend everyone!

Hello, hello, hello…..

Long time no speak ey?

We finally got our internet connected last night! Two whole weeks without it was very hard to say the least, but feels to good to be re-connected to the outside world. Only thing now is that I have oh about 400 odd emails to go through and much to catch up on in the cyber stamping world!

Life has been beyond hectic of late, and I am so glad I am starting to see the end of the tunnel (slightly). The moving house is done, although it was a very challenging time with the owners not completely out of the house we were to move into! Then it was the last weeks of the school holidays, and boy was I hanging out for some routine again. The past 3 months have been so crazy, and I am so looking forward to some resemblence of normalacy, as well as some time in my new lil craft room stamping! Going to try and make it a priority, because I need some more of the right hand brain stuff rather than all the left! LOL!

Anyway so good to be able to say hello again and to play along with this weeks challenge too. We have a sketch for you all, and whilst it may look a tad scary it really isn’t. There is so much you can do with this as you will see over on the Inkspirations Challenge blog…

Here is the sketch….

Here is my sample for you all….

I have been dying to colour up this gorgeous Mo Manning image for ages, and it was so good to finally do it. I love the saying I found to match amongst my PTI stamps too… I know just who I am going to post this one off too!

So be sure to play along. You can read all the details over on the Inkspirations Blog Here...

Have a blessed weekend everyone and I promise to be back very very soon! *wink*

Hey people,

How has your week been? Sorry to not pop on in any earlier, we are actually moving house today and tomorrow, so I have been busy packing, sorting, charity dropping, and the like……no one likes to move house and I am no exception, especially in this heat! Thankfully all is going well. The house we are moving to is right next door to our block of land, so it will be make the building process a whole lot easier being so close. That was a real blessing. The owners we are renting from haven’t been able to get the removalists to collect their belongings because of all the flooding and trucks not being able to get to Cairns, so we will be camping out in the house with their boxes stacked in a couple of rooms until it can get picked up. Although we haven’t been hit with the floods here in Cairns, it is amazing how it still affects us in different ways…. like groceries, a lot of the shelves are bare, especially meat and fruit and veg! Something I haven’t experienced before but apparently it is quite common here in Cairns when bad weather hits. Adds to lifes expcitement I suppose

Okay enough waffle, and onto the newest challenge…..this week we have a sketch for you all. It is an easy one and so you have no excuse not to play along…heheh

Here is the sketch…

Here is my creation…..

I whipped this up at 6am this morning….sometimes crunch time can help with creativity! LOL!

So be sure to pop on over to the Inkspirations Challenges Website to see all the amazing inspiration from the design team and to link up your creation too!

Have a wonderful weekend, and please think of me as I cart boxes around and unpack….hopefully it won’t take too long to get back on-line and I will have all my crafty goodness all set up and ready to be used!

CIAO!

Hey there peeps,

How is your week going? I have had a crazy busy one getting caught up on so much, and also care for my little Janaya who has been very unwell. No time to stamp really, but seeing as pretty much everything in crossed off the ‘to-do’ list I have my fingers crossed for tomorrow!

This week we have a great sketch to play with, you can find all the deets over on the Inkspirations Challenges Website HERE.

This is the sketch to work with:

Here is my sketch inspired creation:

Not the best photo of this wee creation and it looks way better in real life but you get the idea. I have wanted to make a sweet pea creation for so long, and love how it turned out. I made this card for a sweet friend who had a little boy here in Cairns a couple of weeks ago. Mum and bub Samuel are doing really well

The DT have some amazing creations this week, so be sure to pop past and give them some comment love on their blogs!

Hope you can play along!
