Make It Monday #61 - Di's Digi Downloads

Hi there, happy Monday!

I hope you have all enjoyed a fabulous weekend.

Mine was pretty good, the weather was great so lots of time spent in the pool with my boys. 1st November is the official start to our tropical wet season so we aim to make the most of the nice weather before the rain sets in. They are forcasting a pretty wet one this year.

I know lots of you will be making final preparations for your Halloween festivities and I saw loads of fabulous Halloween crafty creations in last week's MIM linky party. Halloween is not widely celebrated here in Australia but it sure does look like fun!


In between dips in the pool I did manage to find a little craft time and created this card for this week's linky party using the image "Dafodil Fun" from our sponsor.


I think this is the first bear image I have coloured and it sure is a cutie!!

I have coloured the image with Copics and the kite has been popped up with foam tape.

Our sponsor this week is the lovely Di from

Make It Monday #59

.
Hi MIM fans!

Here we at Monday again already!

I'm really finding that the weeks are just speeding past now. I think since I made the step up to working three days a week  I feel like I am chasing my tail with everything! I take my hat off to all the Mums who work full time. I could certainly take some time management lessons from you!

Still it is only a few weeks (seven, but whos counting, lol) till the end of the school year and I plan to use the six week school break as an opportunity to re organise myself.

I did manage to find some time earlier in the week to get my card made for Make It Monday.


I have used the "Happy Moments" stamp set from Stampin' U! and have coloured with my Copics.


and this week we are sponsored by

How awesome is this card, I ask you?!!

Suzanne is an extremely talented lady and always makes the most beautiful cards. She is actually the main reason I ventured in to using copics over a year ago. Her blog was one of the first ones I came across when I started blogging and I was always blown away by her amazing colouring skills.

Please swing past Suzanne's blog and say hi, let her know you saw her here.

Thank you for sharing with us Suzanne!

Make It Monday #58 - Did you miss me???

Well, it's been a while but I'm back!!

Did you miss me?

It has been just over a month since I was here last and what  month it has been. Firstly my family was struck down with a particularly bad bout of the flu, knocked us all for six for a couple of weeks but luckily we all recovered in time for us to head off on our family holiday down south to see my Parents.

We had an absolutely fabulous time but now we are back home and back in to routine. I sat down at my craft desk this weekend for the first time in weeks but sadly my mojo appears to be still away on vacation,lol.

I am excited to be back in the Make It Monday saddle today though and looking forward to seeing all the fabulous entries that you link up this week.

Make It Monday #58 is now open

I managed to come up with a sweet little note card and pillow box combo for this weeks MIM using some pretty digi paper from our sponsor.


I have used the floral design from the Polly Anna collection


This week we are sponsored by the lovely Mandy over at


http://www.cupcakecardcraft.co.uk/

Mandy is so kindly offering the Primrose Path digi paper collection to our winner!
