Some New Stuff!

These are some very simple cards I made using a tree punch & a flower punch.

As you can see I have done them in various colours..

In the center of each flower I have added a small stick on pearl.



I've used small stamps for the words, these ones are from Hero Arts.



I used some dotted ribbon across the bottom of this card.

This is a gift bag I made using a lunch bag. Very easy to make!

I used my nestabilities to cut out the cream card. The bag measures

about five inches across. It was alot of fun to make & I sent it to my

friend Ruth.

Yes it was a bit early for Valentines day but I was impatient

& wanted her to have it right away!

Thanks for visiting,

{{HUGS}} from me to you:-)

New Years Cards

The above New Years card is an idea I copied from my friend Miss Twinkletoe! She got the idea from the Internet somewhere. Instead of a snowflake I put the dragonfly as the person it went to loves dragonflies! Both these cards look better IRL, isn't that usual!
This is a Hanna stamp & I have added some pleated ribbon to the bottom to give her a bit of 'pizazz'! I used my Swiss Dots embossing folder on some pale blue vellum & punched out some flowers using my Martha Stewart punch. I have also added some stick-on pearls & I diamond gemstone around her neck. The dots on her dress have kindy glitz on. Very sparkly IRL! This card has gone to my friend Rosy...hope you don't see this before the card arrives in your mail box!
Thanks for visiting, hope to see you again sometime:-) {HUGS} from me to you:-)

Merry Christmas To You!

Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to all my visitors! And a Happy Birthday to those having birthdays today or anytime soon!
Thanks for visiting, hope you come back soon:-)

Yippee, Yippee, YIPPPEEE!

It's my birthday tomorrow (19th)!! Happy Birthday to me...:-)

Just thought I'd let the world know about it!

It was "Ro-Ro's" first birthday today so we have been celebrating with cat food & warm milk all day...yukk! Is it any wonder I am slightly loopy?!

See y'all soon..

Y's from me!!

Oh My, Have I Been Busy!

This is my cute little Koala bear called "Harry", who is over 30 years old & had been on every plane trip I have been on! He is only about two inches tall & the camera around his neck is one I made many years ago from modelling clay! Here he is with his Santa hat on & his sunnies, hanging in the Xmas tree!

This is "Ro-Ro" playing with a ball filled with tiny polystyrene balls, he loves it 'cause he can get his claws into it & actually hold it!


Here he is again, chewing on the ball! One of these days it will burst open!

"Oh hai", sez "Ro-Ro", "Ai iz lookin' very cute for teh camera, my mom taiks lot's of foto's of me"!!

A little ceramic ornament I stamped on.

"Harry" hanging on to "Ro-Ro's" tail...it only lasted seconds then "Ro-Ro" was off galloping round the house with "Harry" being flung all over the place!! Oh the Spirit of Christmas...

These two canvases are less than two inches square. This is a bit of Kiwiana, the jandals, the shells & the glitter on the canvases represent the beach - all the things I was bought up with. I spent alot of time on the beach & in the water as a kid growing up, great fun!

Here is another canvas I did, this one is about 3 1/2 inches tall by about 2 inches wide maybe. Once again it represents all the things I grew up with - sun, sand, seashells & the beach. Oh yes, and the currency I knew as a kid, pounds, shillings & pence & on here is a sixpence from 1958, two years younger than I am!

This card was made using a Stampin' Up set, Snow Swirled.

Another SU set, Pocket Silhouettes. I had alot of fun with these sets!

Oh boy, this was a marathon effort - 5o bookmarks stamped & assembled in a couple of days! I made these for the coffee group I go to - they loved them! Once again using SU stamps.

Another Xmas card using the SU stamp set, Snow Swirled.

I used some background paper & a strip of wavy card I cut, & punched out some green Xmas trees & added them to the red strip. I added white dots to the tree's. Forgive me if I am not doing my usual detailed brief of each card, but I have had some health problems for some time & I am also very tired, so I am just giving you the barest details here! Of course, if there is something you would like to know about the cards, please email me at westiegirl@kol.co.nz & I will do my best to answer your questions!

Another card made with the SU Pocket Silhouette stamp set, this time using a domino in the middle. I stamped on the domino with Stazon black ink. I enjoyed making this card & think I did four of them in total!

I used a cuttlebug embossing folder for this card then added the stamped image (Pocket Silhouettes SU) to the corner. They matched perfectly! Another fun card to make!

Another Pocket Silhouette card from SU!

The inside of the note card set I made using my scor-pal.

Here is the front of the note card set. I used my nesties for the shapes & just stamped on the white one. More fun:-)

"Ro-Ro" says, 'sometimes you just need a hand to hold', so he gave me his paw...so cute!

"Oh hai! ai iz just sayin' hai to Santa, ai nawt touchin' him mom"...Ok, so he knows he is not allowed to touch Santa!! But he can resist anything but temptation - a bit like his mom! He said he was just 'adjusting' him as he was a bit crooked...yeah right!

This is "Super Cat" in his Super Cape! He was very tired after chasing moths & bugs...

Mommy's 'Lil Bloke!

..no head no body just legs, er, paws! Ro-Ro was lying on his back with his front paws in the air so I took his photo! He often sleeps on his back, especially when he sleeps in his baby sling...
...and here he is peering over the top of my bookcase he was sleeping on! He likes being up high! You can see his wobbly heart shape under his chin!

"Oh Mom, I am SO cute..." sez Ro-Ro!

Wow! What A Weekend!!

This is a little bag with four note cards inside. I made the bag using my Cricut machine. I used my oval nesties to cut out the ovals & my Martha Stewart punch for the zig zag white bit. I stamped a butterfly on each card & added a gem stone. These were fun to make! The bag handle is attached with brads & the handle moves so you can easily get the cards in & out.

I made this card last week but forgot to upload it.

Sadly this card does not show up very well on here. It is stamped in silver & has some Viole Interference powder over the top to give it some sparkle. This is just one of the many cards I made this weekend using a Stampin' Up stamp set. Thanks for visiting, {{HUGS}} from me to you:-)
