It Wasn't ME!

 

'Someone has eaten the candy...it wasn't ME!  I can't stop making these business card size cards! They are so much fun to create, as well as being quick and easy! The cats and Ghosts have all been stamped and cut out using my scan n' cut machine. So quick and easy! And fun! We are having absolutely gorgeous weather lately. It's Autumn, but the weather is much better than Summer was. It was up and down during Summer, with some rainy days. Autumn has been stunning blue skies and plenty of sun day after day. Yes, it is a bit cool in the early mornings, but the temperature soon rises. I am definitely enjoying it! Thank you to Andrea for your comments! You are so right, Ghosts do need sunglasses! Ok, just a quick post today! Thanks for dropping by! Have a SUNSHINE day! Remember to always be your authentic self, and shine bright each and every day!

Trouble Makers!

Another mini card I created this morning! After stenciling in the brick background, I stamped and cut the sentiment. I attached it to the card using some glue. what looks like tiny lights, is actually very tiny plastic bubbles. They were caught by the flash on my camera which makes them look like lights! This card is a bit bigger than a business card. I used a scrap of kraft card I found on my desk. I used a clear sparkly gel pen to draw around the lines on the Ghosts. Not visible in this photo, but it is there! I never knew Ghost's wore sunglasses until now! Thanks for dropping by! Have a SUNSHINE day!

Just Another...

 

I made this card yesterday. I measures 3 inches by 2 inches. I stamped the border onto water colour card stock. (That is an old stamp I have had for years.) Then I used a Lavinia stencil to create the brick wall. Once that was done I added the ghost, and then the miniature brick! The sunglasses and brick are from Temu. As soon as I saw the bricks when they arrived in the post, I knew exactly what I wanted to create! I got a few more 'embellishments' that will work with the Ghosts, so watch this space! I The sunglasses are the perfect size for the Ghosts a swell. I had Romeo to the Vet yesterday for his pain injection. I also donated some more cards I'd made. Someone has wanted to pay for their card, but I said 'no', that this is my way of paying it forward. So I said to the ladies at reception, to donate that $5 to someone who may be struggling to pay their vet bill. After all, I got two beautiful hand made blankets for Romeo and Wookie- which they both love! Sorry if I am not explaining things well, I am in pain. I was just diagnosed with Polymyalgia, last Monday, and it's in my neck and back. Anyway, I had a lot of fun creating this Ghost! Thanks for dropping by! Have a SUNSHINE day!

Wings, Crazy Cats and Other Stuff!

Ok, so here's what I have been up to recently! First photo shows some 'wings' I die cut using a Tim Holtz die I have. I painted the water colour cardstock before I die cut the wings, using some Granulating Gansai Tambi colours. I can't remember which colours I used because I have different sets. 

I stamped the Crazy Cats (Tim Holtz) on water colur cardstock then cut them out using my scan 'n cut machine. Then I 'painted' the cats in various Granulating Gansai Tambi paints. Once again, I used a mix of colours.

I love the colours n the cat below! I love purple and green together, and I think it suits this Crazy Cat! I added some wings too! 

elow is a background I created awhile ago, and never used it. I'm not sure how I did it, but I think I used some Dinkles (Lavinia Stamps) in pink, green and blue, on water colour cardstock. From there, I used a  'think'' I used some thick clear embossing stuff over top of a Lavinia Stamps stencil. I'm really not 100% sure this is right! Oh, and it 'might' have some sort of clear glitter on it. You can see it better on the close up photo below this image.

AndI Even managed to make a card!  The Ghost is supposed to be surfing the waves! I' not sure if that's what it looks like, I hope it is! I had already created the wave background, and just added the Ghost. The ghost is on one of those wobble spring things, so he wobbles when you move the card. The words were from a Tim Holtz stamp set.

Below is one of the Crazy Cats, dressed in her favourite hat!

I also cut out some extra Ghosts on black card stock, and I embossed them in white. I have yet to create anything with them. Oh and I also cut out some milk bottles which are with the Crazy Cat set of stamps. As well as all that, one of my friends had asked me to make her a card the same as one I had created last week. So that's done and she will come and pick it up later. Ok, thanks for dropping by! Have a SUNSHINE day! Remember to always be your authentic self, and shine bright each and every day!

  

 

Just a Test Post!

I am learning how to use a new laptop, after mine stopped working. Unfortunately I lost all my saved photo's. But I do still have them on an SD card. These  next three photo's are a few of the ones I took to Romeo's Vet Clinic. They had a box of free donations recently, and I got a new blanket for Romeo, and one for Wookie. I thought I would make some very quick cards to take to them for people to take if they wanted one. Well, as soon as I showed the staff the cards, they all asked if they could have one! I told them of course they can! I think there were about 12 cards in total, all cat ones. I take Romeo back to the Vet on Tuesday, and if they cards have all gone, I will make some more for them. It's my way of giving back, and creating cards is one of my passions. I've had to learn how to transfer photo's from my mobile to my laptop, and there has been some stress involved, but I got there!

This photo below, it one of the Lake at Western Springs. I love the reflections in the water! I think it's such a peaceful scene, amongst the chaos going on at the Festival, which was behind me! 

I've had to re-load all my favourite web sites etc, and have (temporarily, I hope!) lost some of my mojo. It will come back once I get things sorted on this laptop. The Tech Support is absolute rubbish, and a nightmare trying to get to talk to a REAL human being. They have a "Virtual Assistant" you have to talk to. It was soooo frustrating trying to get her to understand my issue. (she never did, and she hung up 0n me!) After many calls to them, I finally got to speak to a real human! Even then, he said he would call back,  however I never heard back from him. This was three days ago. I managed to get things sorted out myself, and I am still learning! Or 'exercising my brain'! Ok, thanks for dropping by! Have a SUNSHINE day! Remember to always be your authentic self and shine bright each and every day!

 

Two More Spooky Cards!

I'm having fun creating these! Enjoy!

On the first one, I painted a small wooden handsaw I found in my stash. I call it The Chainsaw Massacre! For both cards I used backgrounds I had already created. It was one piece and I cut it in half. The 2nd card has a wobble spring behind the Ghost. The tiny bottle has tiny beads in, and they shake around when you move the Ghost. The Ghost is on one of those Wobble Springs, which means when  you touch him, the tiny beads in the bottle move around. Before putting the Ghost and cat on the card, I embossed in white, the spider web. My laptop stopped working so I'm doing this on my mobile. Not easy as my eyesight is limited. So bear with me and any spelling mistakes, I blame it on those cute and naughty Ghosts!! Thanks for dropping by! Have a SUNSHINE day! Remember to always be your authentic self!
