<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hi</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've been pretty quiet on the creative front again. Just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day lately and it doesn't make me feel any better that my middle son tells me this morning that there are only 75 school days to go till the end of the school year!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I was gifted a fabulous image the other day from the lovely Cheri Lyn over at<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/KarleighSueDigis?ref=si_shop" target="_blank"> Karleigh Sue Digi's</a> so I grabbed my Copics out for the first time in a while and coloured this beauty up!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This image is called <a href="https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/197598318/sassy-summer-from-karleigh-sue-digis?ref=shop_home_active_11" target="_blank">Sassy Summer</a> and she is all attitude in those shades so I added the sentiment to go with it. Poor thing lost her pinky toe to my big nasty scissors though :o(</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I absolutely love the school holidays! No lunches to make or drink bottles to wash in he evenings (although I have delegated that job to my boys now but it still takes quite a lot of time to actually get them to get it done). And I can stay up as late as I want without worrying about having to get up early and get the boys organised for school.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I was going to colour this image up last night after my boys went to bed but I got side tracked organising some paper work and reading instead. No where near as much fun. We had planned to go out today to meet some friends in the park this morning but the rain put an end to that so instead I decided to colour up this gorgeous image while the boys decided to play with their lego. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Sadly not much crafting from me lately but I did manage to grab a little me time late last night once my boys were in bed. </div>

and I have coloured her using my <a href="http://www.pinkpaperparadise.com/" target="_blank">Copic Markers</a> in the following colours:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

The weather has finally started to improve here in Tropical Far North Queensland and my boys are on school holidays so that means more time out and about doing fun things and less crafting time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But, I do hope to pop around to visit as many of you as I can this week to see what you have all been up to.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hi, welcome back.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm back again with my third make for the Stamp Set Challenge I have set for myself. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">See my side bar for the challenge details. I would love it if you would join in.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was out shopping for clothes for my boys last week and one of the t-shirts I bought had this tag attached and I thought it was too good to go in the bin so I decided to repurpose it for the challenge.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hi</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well this is a turn up for the books, two cards in as many days!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am enjoying this challenge I have set for myself to dust off my stamp sets and start creating.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The idea is that I will randomly pick a stamp set off my shelf and create five different cards with it before moving on to another stamp set.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000;">I have opened this Stamp Set Challenge to all of you and you are more than welcome to <u><b>link up your creations in my side bar </b></u>so that I and others can come visit you. There are no real rules other than to try to get in to the spirit using those unused stamp sets and papers etc that you have been hoarding. You can even use digis if you want, cause I know we all have a heap of those saved on our computers that we haven't given the love that they deserve.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am up to card #2 for the first stamp set off my shelf - Bring on the Cake.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is a great little sentiment set but I felt I wanted to add an image to my card this time so out came another set called Flower Fancy from Stampin' Up!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Mqn26BfN8c0/U43aG2QB4uI/AAAAAAAADOo/KhPfZT_txt4/s1600/Stamp+Challenge+1b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Mqn26BfN8c0/U43aG2QB4uI/AAAAAAAADOo/KhPfZT_txt4/s1600/Stamp+Challenge+1b.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I even used up some old Stampin' Up! DSP from my stash called Candy Lane. I think this DSP is from way back in 2010!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hi there!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Been a while since my last post (again) as life has been so busy. Nothing out of the ordinary just typical life of juggling family, work, school etc.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found a little time this week to do some crafting.At first I was a little lost with no real inspiration so I just stood there and stared at my craft stash wondering what I could create.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R2K_JNHd9iM/U4q8xzOvpdI/AAAAAAAADOQ/z6Y-OOEQIAs/s1600/photo+(2).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R2K_JNHd9iM/U4q8xzOvpdI/AAAAAAAADOQ/z6Y-OOEQIAs/s1600/photo+(2).JPG" height="320" width="239" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While I searched through my stamp collection I thought about how many sets there were that hadn't seen any ink in a long time. There were also quite a few that had never been inked AT ALL!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to set myself a challenge to use each set and create five different cards from it before moving on to another set.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I closed my eyes and reached for the first set I would work with which turned out to be...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xHR_K2MUUVE/U4q40vCybWI/AAAAAAAADNw/Y1oJ43BlMdE/s1600/008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xHR_K2MUUVE/U4q40vCybWI/AAAAAAAADNw/Y1oJ43BlMdE/s1600/008.JPG" height="265" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bring On The Cake - Stampin' Up!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just so happens that this is one of those sets that has never been used.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As much as this is a great sentiments set it wasn't bombarding me with inspiration so I decided I would google it and see what ideas I could get from there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally, some inspiration from <a href="http://www.born2stamp.com/2013/08/03/lego-geburtstagskarte-fur-moritz/" target="_blank">Heike's blog</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
where she had made a Lego card that I thought would be perfect for my son's birthday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my recreation of Heike's card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6opL74xtMmQ/U4q5P0YIg7I/AAAAAAAADN4/dK-bqOiFWZo/s1600/004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6opL74xtMmQ/U4q5P0YIg7I/AAAAAAAADN4/dK-bqOiFWZo/s1600/004.JPG" height="320" width="247" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6KdsOeGpREA/U4q5Z68LKGI/AAAAAAAADOA/aJ_IwD7h10o/s1600/006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6KdsOeGpREA/U4q5Z68LKGI/AAAAAAAADOA/aJ_IwD7h10o/s1600/006.JPG" height="320" width="258" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used assorted off cuts of Stampin' Up! cardstock and the small studs on the lego bricks were made using the 1/2" circle punch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I coloured the sentiment with <a href="http://www.pinkpaperparadise.com/" target="_blank">Copics</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In an effort to keep my craft space (which is very limited) in order I thought it might be a good idea to create a folder with all my stamps sets in it for easy reference .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-25_nQhxVaRw/U4q8wgkFCRI/AAAAAAAADOM/hehaSdzZzb8/s1600/photo+%25281%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-25_nQhxVaRw/U4q8wgkFCRI/AAAAAAAADOM/hehaSdzZzb8/s1600/photo+%25281%2529.JPG" height="239" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So here starts the challenge to myself</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Create 5 different cards with each of my stamps sets.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My poor neglected blog. I really miss popping in here regularly to share what I have been creating (not that I have had any creative time for a while now) and also checking out what everyone else has been up to.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My boys are on school holidays at the moment and that means things are a lot less crazy around here so I have been able to blow the dust off my craft supplies and whip up a quick card to share with you today.</div>

Well here we go, heading in to the last two weeks of my boys school holidays.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been fantastic, no rushing around, getting lots of large projects ticked off the to do list.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The tropical wet season has decided to make it's presence felt in the last few days and I'm beginning to think it has settled in and has made itself comfy and has not plans to move on anytime in the near future.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm ok with that though because it means that the boys are happy to stay indoors and play lego while I craft away in my space.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I created my card for this week's</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hi there, welcome back.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Posting two weeks in a row, lets hope that is a sign of things to come in 2014 for me :o)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I felt sorry for my poor Hubby today, back at work after a lovely Christmas / New Year break. Although, I'm thinking he is going to enjoy the rest as he managed to build a fence, take down a palm tree, erect a shade sale over our pool and clear the vegie patch on his days off. Not bad going!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I did help of course but mainly with supplying the food and drinks to keep his energy levels up and by entertaining our three boys so they didn't kill each other out of boredom while these house renovation projects were completed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I did have lots of fun though over the last few days playing with an awesome gift my wondeful Mum gave me</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A Thermomix!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have been busy making dinners, deserts, juices, smoothies, yoghurt and icecream, loving it!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If anyone out there has any good links to thermomix recipes etc I love to see them :o)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As regards Accessories there are heaps of bargains to be had with the retirement of the 2011-2013 In Colours (although some of these are being welcomed back as part of the core colour families), and other established colours such as Baja Breeze, Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose, More Mustard, Cajun Craze, Not Quite Navy, Riding Hood Red and River Rock.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Don't forget as well as Classic Stamp Pads you should also think about getting your hands on the Marvelous Markers in their colour family groups. . .</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

Wow the last two weeks went by so fast.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My boys are back at school today. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The school holidays were wonderful with lots of fun family time, playing tennis up against the wall at the side of the house, swimming and the beginning of the Little Athletics season.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
House seems too quiet today so I am going to have to get busy and keep myself occupied till it's time to pick up the boys, lol. You would think that after two years of my youngest going to school I would be used to it by now wouldn't you!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before I get in to the jobs around the house I want to share my make for this week's </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://ppp-makeitmonday.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">MAKE IT MONDAY #136</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No card this week just a simple little tag</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4bJ_hMaw5Nc/UWKoI1td5nI/AAAAAAAACrY/4Vdy42qydTg/s640/MIM+%23136+A.jpg" width="430" /> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tag was created using a great little digi from our sponsor called <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> </span><a href="http://www.bugaboostamps.com/Tags--rose-tag_p_3082.html" style="background-color: white; color: #dd8866; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Tags - Rose Tag</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I printed the tag out three times</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the <a href="http://www.pinkpaperparadise.com//category_68/AIRBRUSH-KITS.htm" target="_blank">copic air brush system</a> to colour the outside edge of the first layer with <a href="http://www.pinkpaperparadise.com//category_22/4/Red.htm" target="_blank">Copic R89</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With the second layer I cut it down to the inner section of the tag with the script background and used the airbrush system again to distress the edge using YR93 and YR91 and E50 and then adhered it to the first layer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut the rose out from the third layer I coloured the rose with Copics R81, R83 and R85 and popped in on to the tag with dimentionals.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Added a coloured rhinestone flourish.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
