More Roller-skate Cards!


Here are some roller-skate cards I just made. I just LOVE roller-skating & have my old skates from when I was about 14! (Yes, they are 'antiques' now!!)
Susan will understand this! These cards were made by stamping an ice skate stamp I have (I love to ice skate too!) & I chopped off the blade & added buttons for the wheels.
Scroll down a bit to the last one & check out Cammies blog, that is where I got the idea for these cards! Cammie has some neat stuff on her blog so check it out! Click on Cammie to see her blog! Thanks again Cammie!
There are stick on pearls on the lace studs on the skate & I added a bow. These cards really are quick & easy to make, and FUN!! I am taking some cards to the local hospital for them to sell, soon, so I will make a couple of these for them too.
Thanks for visiting & I hope your day/evening is going well!

Are there any other stampers out there who like to roller skate?! Let me know! :-)

Memories


I got the idea for this card off Cammies blog, PLEASE check it out, she has some awesome stuff! (Thank you Cammie!)
Years ago when my friend Susan & I were kids, we used to go roller skating every weekend, we loved it! So I made this card for her!
I used an ice skate stamp from thINKing Stamps Australia & chopped off the blades & added some big buttons for wheels. I used a word stamp (memories) from Art Impressions & had to chop it up because it didn't fit on the card. I used a rectangle nestie for the pink card & added some stick on pearls for the studs on the laces. The final touch was the blue bow - oh so quick & easy to make! I am going to make some more of these in different colours
I had fun making this card!
Thanks for visiting, have a fab week!

Circle of Love



The word "Love" is a small silver sticker. I used my nesties to cut out the pink, lavender & silver circles & layered them onto a pale pink card. I put some paper flowers & stick on pearls in the corners & added a tiny drop of kindy glitz to the scallop circles. A really quick cad to make!
Have a great day & thanks for visiting!

Snow Much Fun!

My Spiral Whisper stamps arrvived three days ago, they only took four days to get here from the UK! Wow, quick service!!
"Milly On Yule Log", is the little girl, & "Row of Tree's" is the Xmas tree's.
I first stamp Milly then made a mask for her & stamped one row of tree's directly behind her. I then masked the tree's & stamped them on each side of her to get a longer row of tree's. I masked her again & stamped the snowy hills (Stampendous). Oh yes, I added the tiny bird (also Stampendous). I coloured the whole card using my copics. I lastly added kindy glitz to the snow on the log & the snowy hills & tops of tree's. These stamps (Spiral Whisper) are just gorgeous, do go to their site & check them out! As I said, they arrived within four days!! I want more...
Have a great day & thanks for visiting:-)

Love



Here is another card I made. This one is on dark silver card, sort of iridescent & sparkly. Much nicer IRL! I added some white paper flowers & gems. The flowers around the words have tiny gems in the center.
I like working with this card as it is a nice firm card & holds it's shape well.
I am a bit cranky right now - my glasses I need for distance vision have broken...yet AGAIN!! I have not had very much luck with my glasses & refuse to go back to my original optician after the last episode with my glasses. As luck would have it, I am off to The Eye Institute tomorrow to find out if I am a suitable candidate for either lasik or laser surgery. Because I have extremely little peripheral vision, glasses block my vision so much so that it is dangerous. I have huge trouble crossing roads etc. So now I just need the 'money fairy' (I know there is one...) to drop me some money to pay for the surgery!! Wish me LUCK! At least I have my reading glasses so I can still STAMP!! Have a fab weekend & see you again soon! Thanks for visiting!:-)

Halloween!

Well here's how I celebrated Halloween! It's not all that popular 'down under' but I found this cute "Casper the friendly Ghost" in the $2 shop & just had to have him! I attached him with fine wire to my shopping trolley & took him shopping!
I have been stamping but due to a fall I had earlier in the week, I haven't done much & haven't posted what I have done. I had just (last week) finished four months of physio for my left hip & now I am back at physio again with my other injuries:-( (Nothing broken thank goodness!)
Right at this moment I am working on a wedding card but it has a bit more to go before I can post it. Stay tuned...I am still stamping! I have a busy week ahead with physio & other appointments but don't give up on me yet!
Hope you all had a fun Halloween - thanks for visiting!
