Quick and easy thank you

Wanted to create a quick card to say thank you to Kiah's Calisthenics teacher.

Kiah's coach is leaving soon "sob sob" and moving up to Darwin to be with her fiance.

She has been an amazing coach and extremely tolerant with the girls. Kiah's team is made up of nine girls aged between two to four years of age!

They had their mid year revue this month and it was so cute to see all the hard work they had done up on stage finally.

Here's Miss Kiah all dressed in her Club tracksuit all ready to leave for the theatre performance.



Here's the card I have made for Miss Vashti

Happy Scrapping.

Birthdays Galore

Lots of birthdays happened here last month.. I think I created a lot more cards than layouts.. which is unusual.

Still had some of the Bella range leftover that I had been sent to play with thanks to Fiskars and Spotlight so thought I would play with some.

My son had a friends birthday party to go to so my first task what to create a masculine card.

Here's what I came up with.

This card was made so easy with a little help from my new favourite punch


Have you had a chance to play around with these Fiskars Everywhere Window punches... I warn you.. they are addictive!

Bowling away with Helmar !

Hello everyone.

It is a wet and rainy day here in Adelaide. Perfect weather to hide yourself away and scrap.

Just want to share with you a quick card I whipped up for a neighbours auntie. While cleaning my front porch on Friday my neighbour came over asking if it was possible to create a card for her to give to her bowling mad Auntie that was turning 90.

There was a catch though...
- it was needed by Sunday
- it had to have 90 on it
- it had to be personalised with her Auntie's name on it
and
- it HAD to be bowling themed as her Auntie is a mad keen bowler !

With all this in mind I set to work.

Here's the card I managed to create for her
I was able to create dimension to the front of the card using Helmar Zapdots under the journal spot.

Close up of elements on front of card
I then spent ages looking for a stopper for my trinket pin after I had added some decorative beads. In my mad dash to get the card finished do you think I could find one !!

After giving up I decided to add a small dot of Helmar 450 at the end of the last bead. It worked a treat! Dries clear and held nice and tight too.

Adhering the acrylic numbers inside the window was made easy with a dab of Helmar 450. They aren't coming off in a hurry that's for sure!

So with a little help from Helmar and a digi kit I was able to create this simple but effective card for my neighbour.

Off to get busy creating... I have more cards to create for my neighbour after she saw this one !

For a little girl with a cheeky smile

Had a very special card to make this month.

One of Miss Kiah's close friends, Adison, was turning four.

I have known Adison's Mum for six years now. We met through scrap booking and now there is four extra children in the mix between us.

This meant we had to create a VERY special card for a good friend.

I pulled out my Fiskars cupcake shape template to create this one.
