Farewell Cards - Graphic 45

Hello Everyone

I had to make 2 farewell cards for colleagues at work, that were leaving to seek greener pastures.  So I made 2 cards using some Graphic 45 bits and pieces. One masculine and 1 feminine.

They had to be pretty robust, as they pass through many hands for signing and writing messages.

Here's the one for the male colleague.

Here's the feminine one.

I think it is always nice to receive a handmade card and hopefully is a special reminder of the colleagues remaining behind!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I hope you have a super weekend!

Thinking of You Tag - Prima PPP October 2015

Hello Everyone

Today my parents have been married for 49 years! Amazing right?! Not many people even come close these days to that! So this evening we had some dinner with them and it was lovely to have the celebration with them! ;-)

I did make a card but will share that with you shortly.

But for now I share a tag that I made for the Prima PPP this month.

Here's the tag.

I used a lot of little off-cuts and pieces from different collections. I also used some Prima Mulberry paper that I have had forever, for the background of this tag.

I really did add lots of layers of fussy cut bits.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I hope you had a super Thursday!

Thankful for You - Berry71Bleu Oct Challenge

Hello Everyone

I am up on the Berry71Bleu blog at the moment and I am sharing my take on the gorgeous mood board for October! ;-)



Here's the mixed media page I created for this challenge.

I used the fabulous Enchanted Harvest Collection from BoBunny along with the super chippie from Creative Embelishments.

I did lots of splashy work on the background and used some watercolours along with BoBunny Gold Glimmer spray.

I did lots of heat embossing on the chippie leaf round too...in fact about 5 layers.  The effect was amazing and has a crackled look to it.

Joe has such a serious little face here! ;-) This was taken on his 2nd Birthday and we were playing in the garden.  I cannot believe he is already 8.  6 years have been a flash by!! But yes, everyday, I realise how he adds so much to my life and how much he means to me! ;-)

There is a day or 2 left to play with the challenge, so you had better jump if you still want to enter! ;-)

Thanks for stopping by!
Have a super Wednesday!

First Journal Page - Graphic45 Times Nouveau Collection

Hello Everyone

I am so excited to share this post today as it is my first ever journal page! LOL...behind the times I know...but eventually got there! ;-)

I was inspired by Solange Marques journal pages on the Graphic45 blog a few days back and thought that after seeing her pages, I need to give this a go.

Being the watercolour fan that I am I had bought a watercolour pad and so this became my journal.
I did not even do the cover yet, as I had such a seed in my brain for the first page, that I just had to get cracking.  So here it is.

I really had so much fun making this page! ;-) I know that I need more practice but think it turned out pretty good anyways! ;-)

I have been wanting to use this inspirational quote for quite a while and I simply love it! ;-)

"No matter how you feel, Get up, Dress up, Show up and Never Give up"

I used the Times Nouveau collection from Graphic 45.  I did lots of gesso, embossing, stamping and of course water colouring.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I really do appreciate your visits!

Have a super Sunday!;-)

Inspiration Canvas - FabScraps Tranquility Collection

Hello Everyone

I hope that Monday was kind to you and that you had a super day! ;-)

I have a canvas to share today, that has a super sentiment and one I often look at, to remind myself!;-)

I fussy cut some bits and then did some gesso stencilling, stamping and watercolour effects! ;-)

Here's the sentiment close-up.

I did some heat embossing on the chippies and love the weathered look.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Be back soon!
