Circle Punch Flower Birthday Card

It was a folding frenzy to make this flower card using 9 x 2 inch circles(1 as a base, 8 for the flower). I had a ball making the petals and I think the pearl brad adds that touch of class. It took quite a while to line up the piercing to create that faux stitching look. It’s the very first card that I have ever taken money for and I sold it for $4 to my wonderful  neighbor, a monumental moment!!

Valentine’s Day Treehouse Card

    I love this Valentine treehouse there is just so much detail in this image, and I had a ball colouring it in with my Copics. I used a border punch from Martha Stewart to make the hearts frame and I added a few white gel pen love hearts to my sentiment tag. I think love is in the air!

True Love Circle Card

My girlfriend Vicki and I made this construction style card together and thank goodness for the telescoping card instructions, but like anything it’s easy when you know how!!!It swivels open using the brads,clever design, and I had a lot of fun making it. I used Vicki’s Kaisercraft stamps and several of her dies. I haven’t used blue in ages and thought it was a nice change.

Queensland Modern Art Gallery- Kids Exhibition Magicland

I took my daughter to see the latest kids exhibition at the Brisbane Modern Art Gallery (Australia), we ended up going twice, it was that good! So we have heaps of photos to share with you, it was an area as big as two or three tennis courts to give you an idea of the size of this exhibition. This was such a wonderful place to visit, in fact I had been to this gallery at least 5 times previously and on our last visit a lady security guard overheard us talking in the ladies toilet.We were thrilled about the place where you wash your hands, as overhead there must have been some motion sensor projector and these life size hands appeared and washed their hands …where we were washing our hands and she overheard how we were saying “ it was so fantastic and we thought it was the best part of the whole gallery” and she chimed into the conversation and asked if we thought it was better that the kids section of the gallery and we said.. what was she talking about, what kids section???? Well after escorting us thru a series of hallways I assumed were offices or private areas we found this huge area full of kids hands on activities. I will show you in another post our first visit to the kids section.

Here is the link to read about the artists Pip &Pop who created Magicland and if you have kids they will love this interactive multimedia, compliments of the gallery  We Miss You MAGICLAND.

Thanks for dropping by and have a great week

Snow Queen Castle Card

Making an all white card was certainly a challenge for me. I had to get out of my comfort zone and start trying new stuff and thinking about things in a new way. I am so pleased my snow queen…. got her castle. I used the Cricut to cut out the castle which looks a lot like the Princess Castle cake I made my daughter .
