                                  ANZAC DAY 2024      LEST WE FORGET                                                                                                                                         

I made this card some time back but it has only just  been received by the birthday girl.  The card is from Dreaming Tree Fashionable Ladies bundle and I resized it slightly.  The bag is also a Dreaming Tree file from the Handy Handbags bundle and I also had to resize it to accommodate the card.  I believe it was very well received.   

 A bit of time has passed since I have been crafting or blogging  but slowly starting to find my way back.  Early in March my son Craig passed away after a 3year fight against brain cancer. He will be forever loved and forever missed by us all.  During this I also had a second knee replacement so my craft room  has become quite redundant for a couple of months. I have been doing a bit of beading and some lego but sitting for any length of time  has been a problem.   I have a few projects to show you over the next little while and hopefully things will be back to normal soon 

I recently realised that while I shared a lot of individual photos of items from our Christmas Market I never shared any of my stall so for the next few days I hope you will indulge me.

 Birthday card for my friend and neighbour who recently celebrated her special day. I have used beautiful Prima paper and die cuts for this card.  Such lovely soft tones in this paper pad.

Another birthday card today for my Son who recently celebrated his special day.    He loves tinkering with his cars and in his garage  so I used all sorts of embellishments to suit his interests.  

A wedding card and box for my Great Niece and her new Husband. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend due to knee surgery but I believe  it was a beautiful day for this lovely young couple. I used Spellbinders dies for the hearts and various unnamed dies for the flowers and leaves on both the card and box .    

A birthday card for a friend who is a passionate  Collingwood Football Club supporter.  they are known as the Magpies hence the bird on the front cover  I added a pennant and a footy and of course their colours in the background.  

Today I am sharing an order for an 80th Birthday card.  Obviously for a German Shepherd lover. I saved the last page for a birthday message    

An order came in for a Graduation Card and then cancelled so another one for my stash. Always handy to have.  I printed the front image from Pixabay.     

I tried my hand at making these succulent gardens for our Village fair.  I only sold one, but I was very happy to add the others to my garden. Now they just need to grow😀  

To start the new year off we had a Fresh and New challenge for our  Craft Mad Monthly Swap. I was gifted a box of these cards for Christmas.  I decided to add a bit to them so printed out and added the  photo of the peacock and the greeting.  

To start the new year off we had a Fresh and New challenge for our  Craft Mad Monthly Swap. My second card for my partner last month. Once again, I went to my stash and used 49 and Market papers and empheria   that I had previously never used.    

Happy Birthday to my Big Brother today. Hope your day is extra special ...just like you xx   

To start the new year off we had a Fresh and New challenge for our  Craft Mad Monthly Swap. For my first card I chose to use items from an earlier swap, when we had to make a box and  fill it with craft goodies.  

I think a lot of people struggle with cards for men , me included. These have been made with leftovers from packs of Uniquely Creative papers and die cuts. Just quick easy and simple.    

 A special card for a special lady.  My friend is celebrating her 70th birthday. Loves pink and all things girly so hopefully this card  will be well received.    

The next few posts are some random cards I made to refill my card box.  These are all Hearty Crafts 3d images with various background, plain and embossed.   

 Happy Australia Day  Enjoy your day celebrating our wonderful country. Happy Birthday to my Brother Geoff  celebrating the Big 70 today. Hope your day is extra special ...just like you xxx

Love this cute puppy. Another order for a client who wanted dogs, flowers, blue. 😀  Think I filled the brief on this one as well.  

Another order where I really had to put my thinking cap on.  The client wanted a bit of green and a bit of purple in the card  but not enough to overshadow the fact it was a wedding card.  I was pleased with the result.  

This one was a bit more difficult.  the brief was a card for a man "with no particular interests." So, I went with the chess set and hoped for the best.   I believe he really enjoyed the card.   

 Just catching up and thought I would share a few photos of my Christmas Market tables. We all had a lovely day with beautiful craft and food to sell.   

Another order today for a card for man who loves golf.  I heard that he really enjoyed the card. Always like to get a bit of feedback especially, the positive type 😄  

An order for a Golden Wedding Anniversary card. I embossed the background and added Spellbinders Hearts  with the couples initials added. Finished with a flower, flourish and a greeting.     

A 70th birthday card for an order. Had to be blue with flowers.  I was very happy with the finished card.    

I made this card for a friends birthday  using Uniquely Creative papers and die cuts.  I love the soft colours of this Australian themed range.   

The theme for our last card swap for 2023 was Trees and Holly  for the second card for our partner. I added a glitter background to the die cut tree and added a stocking and a gift,   finished off with some stars.   

The theme for our last card swap for 2023 was Trees for the first card for our partner. I have had this die for a while but used it for the first time for this swap.  Rather like the effect it makes on the tree.   

  Happy New year to my Family and Friends. May all your dreams and wishes come true in 2024
