Giving Thanks

The joy of parenthood and children is certainly something to be thankful for and I know how blessed I am to have my own two beautiful children. In fact I have turned into one of those Mum’s whose whole life revolves around their children and the activities they have embraced. I am thankful that in all my children attempt… they try their hardest, what more could you ask for! When I saw this image it reminded me of when I was pregnant, and I had this favourite dress I wore and I have copied the fabric design onto my image Mom Loves You from Milk Coffee. 

I’d love you to come and Join our Challenge this week at Card Crafter’s Circle 50th  Challenge

HO HO MERRY CHRISTMAS

I love this image from Bugaboo Stamps because it reminds me of my own two cute kids and how happy that I am to be truly blessed to have them in my life. I would also like to thank my girlfriend Vicki for helping me work out my card design, you know what I mean… when you just go blank…. and not sure what to do, and there is a looming deadline. I’ve had my eye on this red & white striped ribbon for a while, and a friend recently gave me some so I’ve used it to add texture to the front of my card combined with the embossed layer.

Anita Munro in Todd McKenney’s “Songs and Stories of Peter Allen”

My 12 year old daughter Anita Munro auditioned for the Todd Mc Kenney “Songs and Stories of Peter Allen” which is currently touring around Australia and won Todd McKenney’s Search for a Star. Anita will sing “When I Get My Name In Lights” with Todd and join in on the finale song “Rio” and dance the Samba with Todd in Toowomba,Queensland, Australia. We are so very proud of all Anita’s achievements and her career in Musical Theatre is showing a very promising start. What a year, 2012 don't want it to end!

Please Click Here to see Anita’s video audition on Todd McKenney’s Facebook Page.
Below are a couple of photos of me with Todd McKenney. Here I am getting Todd’s autograph at the Stage Door when Anita worked together with Todd earlier in the year when Anita played “Annie” in Annie the Musical at the Lyric Theatre in Brisbane,Australia and Todd played “Rooster”.

Congratulations Anita and we wish you every success for the future!

Winter Bird Christmas Card

I used Winter Bird from The Doodle Garden for my Christmas card and created an extra few branches for my birdy to sit on using my Bird punch, which has been literally gathering dust as I haven’t used it it ages. I also used the punch poo from my snowflake border for the little stars.  I just love snow and this reminds me of all the wonderful holidays I have had at the snow. I remember that moment when for the first time I actually noticed a snowflake on my ski jacket and it looked like the snowflakes on Christmas cards I had received over the years and I realised that is how they really look…this was a more than 20years ago folks when I had lovely young eyes and could still see everything!

Christmas Card

I used some patterned paper from Kaisercraft and the flowers on this paper are all velvet. and it feels so nice and especially perfect for a wintery style Christmas Card.  I wanted Candy Cane Ava from Bugaboo Stamps to look like a Christmas ornament hanging under the tree. I added a smile to Ava with my Copic Multi liner.
