Moving...

I feel like the world's worst blogger...though I'm sure there are other blogs that make my posts look "regular". ;o) Anyway....

We have been busy moving interstate for my DH's work which has meant new schools and finding a house to live in as well as selling our "old" house. Thankfully we have got these items checked off our list though we are still waiting to move into our "new" house.

Living out of a suitcase has been interesting. :o) I think we take for granted many of our possessions that we use on a regular basis and so when you have limited items you have to rethink what you are doing, etc. One of the things that I miss from our belongings is my craft stash. It has been a few months since I've been able to take the time to create and boy do I miss it! I think I've been going into withdrawal!?!! ;o) So when my DH asked me if it would be too much to make a card for his friend's wedding I was willing and ready to "sacrifice" myself and venture down to a local scrap shop. I have to admit I was pretty restrained considering I haven't been around these items for a while but I will admit I plan to go back. hee hee

So here is the card I made with limited supplies. All cardstock and paper is measured using my kids' pencils and ruler and then hand cutting with scissors. It definitely took a lot longer than it normally would to get to assembly stage but I am happy with the result. Now I just want to continue creating. (Do you think the school will mind if I'm late for pick up?)



I like the combination of the cream and black. Adds an elegant element to the card and I felt that it would really work for this couple. What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband!

It was my gorgeous husband's birthday on the weekend which gave me the chance to play with one of the new sets from The SU Spring Mini Catty. unfortunately withthe extra layers it hasn't scanned up too well but hopefully you get the gist of it all.

Contact me if you'd like any information about what was used.

Thanks for dropping by,

Choo Choo!

Nope - I haven't fallen off the edge of the earth.... :o) Thanks to those who've been checking back and asking how things are going.

August has meant the release of the new Stampin' Up! Spring mini catalogue. Yes, I realise it is not yet Spring :o) but am so excited to see some of the new things Stampin' Up has to offer. Contact me if you'd like to see a hard copy of the catalogue or click here to see online.

One of the new stamp sets that has been released is one that has a train with carriages and caboose. It is soo cute and there is even a matching wheel so that you can lay some tracks for the train to go on. Here is a card that I made recently for a swap. The brief was to make it using something from the new Spring mini catty. I hope you like it.


I've used Choo Choo and On Track for my feature stamps/wheel and also used a bit of the new Ski Slope DSP which has some lovely papers that I can't wait to use.

Drop me a comment and I'll see you back here soon.
