Sunday Night Scrappin'

I love Scrappin'. This photo was lovingly restored and copied by my cousin Kim. It is of my Great Grand parents, on my mothers side, Herbert and Agnes Pike. This was a family picnic sometime after they were married.(no sign of the kids!) I intend to do a little journalling when I get the history right. 
I wanted to honor their memory with a youthful page, so there is lots of flowers and buds to represent newness. Thanks to RebelInker.blogspot.com  For the design on the Five Petal Punch Flower. The Buds are all mine!
they are made from the same punch, in smaller quantities.

Card of the Week

Bodacious again! This time I have used Cameo Coral as my base card, and added Pretty in pink with W /White flowers.
Next layer is three flowers stamped and cut in G/Guava, Regal Rose and Rose Red.  The leaves are in Old Olive. That's six colours plus white. I'm sure there is a rule about using too many colours- it was fun anyway. Almost forgot, I also added Only Orange  to the G/Guava flower , using the Rock'n'Roll technique. The base card is Watercolor Vine in W/White. Thanks for looking.

Saturday Card Making


We are really on fire now! our lovely and talented ladies took on a wallet card this month. Everyone left a winner.We had some great wallets in four different colours. Thanks to Dannie Graves, for sharing her version with the world. I added a few changes to make it an Aussie version. The Faux Suede look was achieved using Cling Wrap, and the measurements are converted to cms. I was pleased to make a card that used up a whole piece of card stock, with no waste.

Card of the Week

How's this for a bright and cheery card! My newest stamp set is "Bodacious Bouquet," and I must have stamped this flower in nearly every colour in my collection today. Hehehe! I settled on makinga card in this colour combo, as there was a scrap of this DSP from the Summer Picnic range, just sitting in my "scraps to keep"  box. The rest of the flowers will find a home over the next week. 
I will try to do something amazing  and new with them.
