AS PROMISED

I finished her last night and i'm pretty happy with the result. Did i tell you i LOVE paper piecing. Think i might have to schedule a class on it at The Imagination Factory soon! It really is so easy, especially with my most favorite tool of all, my cutterbee scissors. They ROCK!

 

Here's what i used.....

STAMP- The Greeting Farm

PAPERS-  The Girls paperie, Crate

COPICS

EMBELLIES- prima, jillibean soup

CARDSTOCK- Bazill.

This card got me thinking.......I love this card a lot, and i dislike the style/design of my blog a lot, so maybe i could make up a header with some colored images, kind of scrapped on a background with the title of my blog, and that could be my new blog! What do you think?

Oh, and mustn't forget, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to DH for today. I'll show his card tomorrow once i've taken a pic!

MORE PAPER PIECING

You know how i said i liked paper piecing, well, while i had everything out, i thought i would make up a second image exactly the same as the first. If you're anything like me, i take literally hours sometimes to decide on colors, papers, etc, so this cut down on so much time. And i still do LOVE paper piecing. It's definitely my new fave technique! Paper piecing in itself is also a time saver, as depending on what bits you piece, you have way less coloring to do.

So here's my card for another of DD's special friends who is turning 15.

Here's what i used

The Greeting Farm Creeper stamp(leslie)

Copics

Memento ink, Xpress blending card

The Girls Paperie Paper and stickers

Kaiser flower

Prima numbers

Bazill cardstock.

I think that's all.

I have nearly finished another TGF creeper with a paper-pieced dress and boots! Will hopefully show tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping by,

SPARKLY FLUFF

Someone asked me to make a card that has sparkly fluff on it,....so i used 4 different colors of it on ONE card! LOL! I think that she'll be happy.

So here it is.

Of course you'll notice that it's exactly the same image as my last card, and colored exactly the same, apart from her hair color.It was fun to see how differently the cards using these same two images turned out.

I used......

The greeting farm, Anya, Summer

Copics, airbrush

Sparkly fluff

jillibean soup tag

green tara flowers

the twinery twine

heidi grace pin

sassafrass and october afternoon papers

Bazill cardstock

spellbinders dies.

SUMMER FUN

I know, i know, you think i'm going a bit loopy. Well, i'm really not. I'm freezing my toes off in this chilly part of Australia as i blog, but in the northern hemisphere it is approaching Summer, hence the Summer Fun card for a challenge over at the COLOR ME CREATIVE CLASSROOM on the SCRAPBITZ blog here

So here's my card and i hope you like it. I chose my colors to go with the Fancy Pants paper that i really wanted to use.

Here's what i used

Greeting farm and Lawn fawn stamps

Cryogen white cardstock, memento ink

Copic markers and airbrush

Fancy pants paper

Bazill cardstock

Nestabilities and MFT dies

Doodlebug paper strips

The twinery twine

Kaiser pearl swirl

EK leaf punch(i think)

That should be everything.

As i used my airbrush to mask and color the clouds, i thought i would also enter my card in the COPIC CREATIONS coloring skies challenge here . I had lots of fun coloring my sky, then cut it all off with my circle nestie die LOL.

Oh, and i also entered it in the Thursday Throwback challenge for The Greeting Farm  here

Thanks for looking,

MOTHERS DAY

A quick post today as i have a sickie home from school ....again.

I had a lovely Mothers Day yesterday. I received not one, but FOUR handmade cards, one from each of my darling girlies! Do you think they take after me?

I am so lucky. I was thoroughly spoilt. They all gave me something special that they chose themselves. Here's a little peek at my two "crafty" gifts......

 

Harriet made choc fudge and decorated a jar to pop it in....YUM! Bea gave me PRISMACOLOR pencils! YAY! Hmmmmmm, now to learn how to use them. Had a quick little play today, but obviously i have LOTS to learn. Have registered to do a course at COLOR ME CREATIVE classroom, so stay tuned.

 

That's all for now.

Happy belated Mothers Day everyone,

tracey. 

SOMETHING DIFFERENT

Just for a change today i have some cards to show that don't have stamps or copics! Really!

I have used all the gorgeous new My Minds Eye papers and embellishments for these cards, plus a few little extras. Nice and quick to make when you need a card to give in a hurry.

and two more.....

....hope you like them.....
