Two little bits of paper . . .

As you can see, all I’ve used on these great little cards is 2 pieces of paper. A 9.9cm x 19.8cm piece of cardstock and a piece of Urban Garden DS paper. Because it’s double sided, you can make your cards with a floral theme or flip them over and get a masculine stripe. Ohhhh [...]

Oh dear… I’m one too!

I saw this post at Yvonne’s Campbell’s site and laughed (quick go have a look, I’ll wait), then I looked at my own little note book full of ‘wish list’ notes and my new SU catalogue and thought “Hey, that’s not soooo bad..” I’ve got this whole ‘addiction’ under control – I don’t have to [...]

I’ve been to London to see the Queen..

….Well not quite.  I went to Sydney to see the ‘Diana – A Celebration’ exhibition with mum last Saturday.  It was a wonderful celebration of her life, her work, her fashion, her legacy and of course her funeral (*sob*).  It was quite a collection! THE wedding dress was there and, I must say, I didn’t [...]

Itsy bitsy , teeny weeny…

…. No it’s not a yellow polka-dot bikni! I have done some very simple ATC’s (Artist Trading Cards) for a swap with other members of the Inklings (other SU! demonstrators around Australia).  This months theme is Embossing.  Here’s my contribution.
