Nearly forgot about my old blog, so have loaded an old card from 2011 to reflect time gone by, lol.

Here are a couple more photo's of my recent card making. Really enjoyed playing with these dies and my Minc Machine :)

Freezing days and nights over here in Oz this winter.  Always good times for crafting.
Here is my latest card for a friend's birthday. She loved it. A combination from my stache of dies and my Heidi Swapp Minc machine make this quite an elegant style card.

Running in the Kimberley

Made this card for my grand-daughter as the colours represent the beauty of the Kimberley region of Australia, where she lives. The negative runner was made using my Silhouette machine and this shows her competing in athletics, as she is a good little sprinter.

So long since I posted!!!

Wow, how time just gets away from you when you're crafting!

Loved creating this card as I simply love the beautiful images

 created by Krista Smith (what an amazing talented lady).

So love those gorgeous big eyes.

 I made this card for my lovely sister in law's birthday.

 

Coloured with my Copics, added some distress glitter. 

Sparkly ribbon from my own stash,

and finished off with some pretty Prima flowers.

Absolutely love this blue colour and of course who doesn't love butterflies. Added a doily bought from the lovely "Bizzy Bec's" store. Mounted and distress ink edged a Spellbinders label, added some flowers & gems along with a sentiment from my collection (a Penny Black one, I think)

Just loved using this cute free digital stamp found on the web. Added some shine to my copic colouring with Perfect pearls (a bit bright with the camera flash...I really do need to get a photo tent!).

Pretty Pastels (flowers look real)

Some really pretty card stock and the addition of some Bella Bling pearls, along with some "look a like flowers and cute ribbon" are all you need for the garden lover in your family.

Penny Black-"Fashion Delivery"

Received some awesome Hero Arts  & Penny Black stamps a little late for Christmas, but there is no time like the present  to start getting ready for next Christmas. Amazing how quickly you can colour with Copic pens, add a touch of Red Glitter, a few embellishments for highlighting,  and Voila, all done.

Cut out paper credit cards obviously fooled who ever stole it from the mail! Oh well, I suppose I could take that as a compliment, lol
