Hi there Everyone,
How are we all today? Today was my little girls, well middle girl, hehe, official full day of kindergarten and I just wanted to share a photo I took the other week when she went for half the day in her uniform with her little sister……
They both love this photo, but then again they love all photos of themselves….. hehe, wonder where they get that from, *looks around the room.*
So today I have a card for you made with another cutie from the C.C Designs Spring Kit. I’m not usually a boy person card maker, no wait did that make sense, mmmm any ways, haha. There is something about the Sugarplum boys that I find them easier to use than other boy stamps.
This is for my Stamp with Fun DT card and this week we have a challenge that I am sure you will agree is easy to play along with…. As it’s the month for love, reds and flowers this week we have the theme….
Can be a stamp, pattern on the papers, etc the skies the limits. Be sure to jump on over and check out the rest of the amazing creations and cards the DT came up with, something to get every one’s heart going, hehe sorry couldn’t help it!
It’s also for my very first DT card with The Pink Elephant .WHOO HOO Lori asked me the other week and I have done everything not to blurt it out there. 
I’m so excited to be working with an extremely talented bunch of ladies. The girls have been amazing and so welcoming. Back to the challenge at hand that is….
And I was stuck, for a bit I must admit I had in my head what I wanted to do but how….? So I used the sketch over at Create 4 Fun…
I like to think I pretty much stuck to the rules on this one, don’t you think, hehe?

What there your all wondering?!
Before I start I must say that I am really over whelmed by the support and most of you I have never met or know….If you get me?! hehe… But all your lovely supportive and encouraging comments, that you girls have shown me is very heart warming and I can’t thank you all enough. Means so very much to me and I just wanted you all to know that I appreciate them more than you could know. I have been so lucky enough this year to be asked to join several Design Team spots and I can never wait to share my exciting news with you all…..
As you may had seen I made a card using the gorgeous image from HERE…. and I thought it was just gorgeous, not my card, hehe the image! And they are FREE can you believe that?! And what is even better is that SJ does a colour image, non colour etc so there is always one for everyone to use. Freebie Friday they are called and the one this Friday is OMGosh sooooo cute, have her printed and waiting for me to add to a creation, she reminds me of my girls lately as they keep getting into my shoes and walking around in my heels.
I was so excited when I got an email from SJ asking me to join her Little Musings Creative Team along with a gorgeous and talented bunch of gals. So when I say I have been turned musing I meant…..
Heheh looks funny seeing myself turned *mused* I guess you could say….
No card today, well maybe days not over yet I guess, bahaha. But I will definitely be back tomorrow with the next Magnolia Down Under Challenge card.
Well that’s all from me for now, Happy Stamping and thanks so much for stopping by and take care xx.

Very cute stamp. My new years resolution is to make more male cards. I have that many female cards ready and waiting but always wait until the last minute to do a guys card!!
Which is funny because I am so the same, I have soooo many female cards but not many if any at all male cards and am always rushing a last minute jobie for a birthday, thank you etc….
Contact me on kelliewinnell@yahoo.com.au and I shall get her off to you asap.
Well I have borrowed my mums BRICK of a monitor hehe, it’s like a TV and so not what I am used to and seems a bit blurry which is annoying so will have to look into a new one over the weekend I think.
Happy Stamping. Thanks so much for stopping by and take care xx.
Hey there everyone,
Just a quick one as I have had to come into my mum’s work, thank goodness she has an office to herself. My computer, well not my computer my screen has died! I was playing with all the cords, and connections, and cleaning them jsut in the hop that would be a quick fix and it just wouldn’t work. After sending it to the computer Dr, hehe, they have confirmed that the power box it’s connected to has died. So am off to see them about it soon and see what and if anything can be done. But my mum has mentioned she has a screen at home doing nothing, so FINGERS CROSSED, cause being without a computer for the whole weekend, OMGosh I don’t think I could survive, hehe!
So if you have emailed and have not gotten a reply this is why, and I promise to get back to them as soon as I can 
Must admit but, I got a fair bit done on the DT card making sides of things last night not having a computer to get side tracked with and blogs to hop on.
Well best let her get back to her work and go and find out what can and can’t be done.
Take Care and Happy Stamping xx.
Good afternoon all,

After re-reading it a couple of times and taking all of a split second to reply YES…. lol! I have been asked to join the All That Scraps Design Team as a permanent member!

Good Morning Everyone,
Well finally I have the challenge up this morning with the help of Kristy, I came down with a really shocking headache last night that stopped me from scheduling the challenge post. As some of you may had read, my head ache started lightly Friday and just kept getting worse till last night was a doozie, was in bed by 10pm and for me that is super early on a Saturday night. I still feel a tad light headed, having little dizzy spells but fingers crossed the worst of it has been and gone!
The challenge over at Magnolia Down Under Challenges today is a good one we are asking 3 things of you with this one and did you know that we are now going back to weekly challenges? You can find all the info on the challenge blog… So we are asking…
Here is what I managed to come up with yesterday while trying to ignore the throbbing. Doesn’t a head ache know that it’s taking up precious crafting time!? Hehehe…..
Magnolia Stamps : Wrapped Tilda and Sentiment.
Other Stamp : C.C Designs Spring Kit Swing.
Digital : The Cutting Cafe : Sweet Background… Sponsor
Distress Inks : Tattered Rose, Dried Marigold, Worn Lipstick, Aged Mahogany, Frayed Burlap, Fired Brick, Antique Linen, Brushed Cordury and Spiced Marmalade.
Papers : Making Memories, October Afternoon and Kraft.
Other : Magnolia Down Under Store : Cream Lace and Flowers *Soon to be in Store* White Gel Pen, Bizzy Becs : Pink Gems, Sting, The Stamp Spot : Doily.
Unfortunatley my batteries in my camera were going flat to, you know the ol it doesn’t rain it pours, haha. Be sure to jump on over and check out the amazing DT work and check out their personal blogs to leave them some comment lovin 
Each have come up with a fabulous inspiration.
Well you know when your sick nothing gets done around the house, funny how that happens? So I better get into it. Although this post has taken me an hour as I keep thinking, I’ll just pop a load of washing on, which then leads to cleaning the kitchen, then back here then I’ll just tidy the toys up, so really I am almost done, bahaha.
We have some sad news and some good news over at Magnolia Down Under Challenges. The sad news is we are sadly saying good bye to Norma and Sue. They have shared an amazing 6 months with us and have been a true inspiration each and every challenge and I truly hope they join in with us when can and wish them both all the best on their crafting adventure.
The good news is the Guest call was a HIT, a big thank you to all whom applied, we had so much talent and it was really hard to narrow it down and still some that applied will be asked to join us for a monthly guest. But after all the looking and having a list the size of my arm we are very happy to announce that joining us for 6 months will be …. Chelsea and Jane…. They have both accepted and are willing to not start in March but from February instead as they are both just excited as the rest of us.
Well thats all from me for now, Happy Stamping and thanks so much for stopping by and take care xx.
Good Morning All,
Well when I was blog hopping last night I found the blog by Sarah Jane and she has these cute images called ‘Musing’ and I thought of bum digital I can’t use them, and then she had them in colour as well, and then all of a sudden a light bulb went off and I thought you know I reckon I can use this and so I did.
The challenge over at Cute Card Thursday is…..
And I just love my new flowers, so bright and colourful and I will have them in my store soon! And I think that against the kraft they stand out even more. And isn’t Elizabeth gorgeous, so I thought with them both i fits the profile, lol. So here is what I came up with….
Stamps : Sentiment – C.C Designs Spring Kit.
Papers : Making Memories, October Afternoon and Kraft.
Other : Brown Brads, Dazzling Diamonds, Flowers, Cream Lace and Chipboard, The Stamp Spot : Doilies…. OH and my trusty White Gel Pen!
Was really strange not having to colour an image. Has been ages since I done something like this where I didn’t colour but I loved being taken out of my comfort zone and trying something new! Sarah Jane gives out Freebie Fridays and I think I will now be first in line every Friday!
Well thats all from me for now, Happy Stamping and thanks so much for stopping by and take care xx.
