Women...

With this card I am playing along with the Cure for the Winter Blues Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.

When I was thinking blue, it made me think of this old china plate I had, and with that I thought the Waltzingmouse 'Afternoon Tea Sentiments' set  was a perfect match!

Really love this sentiment!!

Wouldn't a tea party with lots of chat and dressing up with your girlfriends pull you out of your winter blues?

You have until March 15th to play along!

Happy Easter....

Hi all!!

I am still in Easter/Spring mode here so made another card with WMS 'Spring Baskets' set embossing the larger eggs in white this time. I used the new sketch up at the WMS Sketch Challenge Blog and some really old Basic Grey papers that I think I bought on Ebay about 3 years ago for scrapbooking before I was even making cards! Such pretty colours!

chat later,
Robin

WMS Blog Party: Spring!!

I was in spring mode last night and had loads of fun with the Waltzingmouse Stamp sets 'Spring Baskets', 'Pic-nic Patterns', and 'Rescue Remedies Additions'! I used this weeks Sketch for the layout of the first card and some of our Easter baskets I took out of storage for colour inspiration...

looking forward to the amazing inspiration from all of the other Blog Party Go-ers... I will be Pinning away later I am sure!!

Embossing the eggs in white worked out really well for colouring with the Copics!

We're Baaaa-accccck....

from a short trip to Kilkenny with the kids, it's their midterm break so we spent a few nights at Lyrath Esate!!

The first pic is a quick set of Thank-you cards I made with the WMS 'Join Us' set. I have a good few card orders at the moment but I just wanted to sit down at my craft table and make something so this is what happened!

The rest are just some random shots from holidays....

Kilkenny Castle

A reptile zoo that visited the hotel

My monkeys at the playground behind the castle

kids in a candy shop... he he.... see the little guys face.. it cracks me up!

But, but... she got.... lol!!

Cookies and warm milk delivered to the room for the kids... a fun perk!!

And even better, when I got home the post man had left a slip to say that an international parcel had arrived!!
I had recieved two boxes of goodies from Northridge Publishing for some of the cards I had published in Dec. in CARDS Magazine and Create:Christmas Cards!!!! So fun!!

Papertrey Day 7...

A quick share for Papertrey Ink's Anniversary Challenge Day 7 where we were asked to use hearts in honor of the upcoming Valentine's Day holiday and Melissa Bickford's new Heart-2-Heart stamp series!!

I used Papertrey's 'Everyday Button Bits' set for the hot air ballon baskets and diecut hearts for the ballons in a rainbow of colours so I could play along with the challenge at Jay Gee's Nook!

Jay Gee's Nook Challenge #16

I will be without a computer for a few days so hope everyone has a sweet Valentine's Day,

Going 'Fancy Schmancy'...

for Day 2 of PTI's 5th Anniversary celebration challenge!! 

I used Dawn McVey's freebie for this challenge...

another girls blog where I can spend  a lot of time!!

When I think of Dawn, I think of fabulous colour combos....

Be Inspired #1

You have heard me talk about the new company The Alley Way Stamps lately, so here is a card I made with their 'Priceless Joy' set for their first 'Be Inspired' challenge!! 

I picked up the fun colours from the picutre and the bedroom is so sweet I was inspired to do a baby card!!

Still lots of time to play along!!

PTI 5th Anniversary Day 1: Our Favourite Things!

This really is an ode to Mish...

she is the reason I stumbled upon PTI in the first place through her blog, I could look at her blog and projects for hours... it really is amazing how she has a little of this and a little of that and it just seems to work!! One of her favourites, the friendship jar, was my first PTI purchase!! 

She also has to be blamed {lol} for my new Project Life addiction!! 

So here I tried to combine some of the things I often see in her projects..

doilies, friendship jar, buttons, take note set, fun mix of papers, scalloped edge.. the list goes on...

Time is running out for this challenge so I best go now and link it up!!
Robin

Be Silly!

Since I tend to bombard you all with posts of cards I made over the weekend on Monday, I thought I might spread it out a bit and post something quick today! I made this for the Paper Smooches SPARKS Challenge inspired by the fun pic below!! Took the idea of flowers, the fun edges, and colours from the inspiration picture that Kim posted!!  Wish it was a bit brighter here today so I could get a better picture... BUT it's not snowing like it was forcast so I won't complain!!

{Paper Smooches Stamps-Sentiment Sampler and Perky Plants}

Always lots of fun ideas and examples over at the blog.... see you there!!

Be My Valentine

First I thought I would share week four of 
Project Life with you all...
although I think I like Design A pages the best it sometimes is fun to have a different page to mix it up a bit!

Then,

a card I made last night... a simple, masculine, Valentine with WMS 'Pic-nic Patterns', 'Vintage Labels 3' and 'Sweethearts' sets.

Chat Later..
