Easy being Green

This little La La Land cutie has been sitting on my desk for quite a while now - along with many other part finished projects. 
Then, a miracle happened .... I was casually and calmly looking for my scissors (yeah right!) and a green paper pack happened to fall out of its plastic sleeve and....
 Hey presto! I had a card. 
Well actually, I had a whole lot of paper on the floor, a stab injury from those scissors and a fair few expletives echoing through the house and then .... after a while .... actually a long while .... I had a card.

I am going to pop little Marci here into the following challenges:

White on White


It is time for another challenge over at Little Miss Muffet and this week they are asking you to create something White on White
Naturally, I approached the challenge in a calm and orderly manner. 
When I had a spare minute, I casually popped on over to Miss Faye and enquired ..... 
DOES THAT MEAN I CANT COLOUR!!!!! 

Okay, so perhaps not so calm. 

But PHEW! all is good. Any colour is okay on the image but the rest of the card should be white. A reassuring shoulder pat and I was able to sleep well that night. 

I am loving these LMM images and this one is called Babe Superstar.
Pop on over to the challenge site and you will be inspired by this talented team.

Shimmer and Shine

This week I have learnt a valuable lesson. After a recent storm we were without power in our home for nearly 24 hours. Luckily for our gas stove top and gas hot water we weren't hungry or smelly however, we were placed under a fair bit of pressure. 
I couldn't tell you how many times I attempted to turn on a light, how I decided to just do a little ironing, how I thought I might watch a bit of telly. I mean ... duh! Finally the power flickered back on and cheers were heard.You just don't realise how much you rely on something until you don't have it. 
BUT, the most valuable lesson I learned was this: If the power ever goes off again, put your 17 year old daughter in the car and drive her directly to grandparents, friends, strangers homes - anywhere - as long as she has power to charge up her iPad and straighten her hair because you don't realise how much you rely on your sanity until you don't have it :)

Over at Southern Girls we are all about Shimmer and Shine this fortnight. Break out the bling, dab on the glitter glue and shimmer away! We are sponsored by Marianne design, flourish with a Bling and Rhoda Design Studio so there will be some fabulous prizes on offer. I have used a Sherri Baldy image, papers from Bazzill Basics and Copic markers.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:
Crafting by Design Anything Goes
4 Crafty Chicks #164 Multiple layers

And they called it ....

It is not even my turn ... but I just couldn't resist. Over at Southern Girls, this fortnights challenge with Team Lou is 'Song Inspired'. As soon as I saw this image from Sherri Baldy, I immediately thought of Puppy Love. I would like $1 for each time I listened to that song. 
I would be a millionaire. 
"And they called it Puppy Love 
Oh I guess they'll never know 
How a young heart really feels 
and why I love her so"  
Come on sing it with me. I know you know it!

Vintage Violet

I am certainly loving Washi and have already made a collection of cards with bits of tape all over them. But ... I looked over and saw my neglected Copic markers. I just blurted out to Washi that Copic is where my true love lies. I have to say, Washi took it very well. I am sure Washi knows that it is still high on my favourites list.

Speaking of favourites ... that would have to be anything from Saturated Canary. This is Vintage Violet and I have teamed her with the Basic Grey 6x6 pad Lucille and the following Copics:

E04,07,08,09

Happy Times

I have very happy memories of my time at school ... Don't be rude ... I can remember that far back. The excitement of being chosen as the milk monitor, my projects proudly displayed on the classroom wall and even inside games during a rainy lunch time. All happy times. Perhaps not so much for the teachers who I now appreciate so much more - they didn't get a break from us on those rainy days. 
See! my memory is perfect. A quick post today 'cause I am off to take the kids to school ..."Has anyone seen my keys and where's my bag!"
I have used a La La Land image called Backpack Marci and papers from Kaisercraft 6x6 paper pad 'Shaken Not Stirred Collection' and the following Copic markers:

Enjoy

This is going to be me soon. Off on a sun filled holiday - eating ice cream in my bikini - looking glamorous by the pool - hair flowing in the warm breeze .... And then I woke up.

I am actually off on a sun filled holiday soon (fingers crossed there will be no summer storms) and I should have woken up at that point because all that ice cream, bikini and hair flowing was a sure sign that dreams may be based on fact but they become fantasy very quickly.

The more likely scenario would be: There will be a one piece with a wrap to hide my 'bits'. Ice cream in the heat drips faster than you can eat it so that often results in lots of slurping and mopping up. So now I have ice cream on my wrap, it has flicked in my hair, and then, OMG there is a breeze! Now there is ice cream on the man next to me and my wrap has flown up over my head. That sounds more like it. I am looking forward to my holiday and you may not have noticed, but perhaps I am really neeeeeeding a holiday.

I have used a Saturated Canary image, Summer Breeze paper pad from Kaisercraft and the following Copics:
E000,00,11,13,95
YR12,14,16,18
Y21,35,E99,47

All Dressed Up

I know! I know! I know! You have taken one look at this little Miss and I know what you are all thinking. I do, really! 
She is all dressed up in her finest clothes, looking very fancy in her fabulous colours and ... no lippy! 
OMG! No lipstick! 
Not even a smidge of lip gloss - what was I thinking! 
I hope my Mother doesn't see this. 
I guess that I just thought that she was making enough of a statement without the need for gloss :-)

happy day


Whhh whhhh whhh! .... that is me - blowing the dust off my blog. It sure has settled here recently. 
The reason that I have been so absent is because umm ... I had to umm..... I was going to umm..... I have been umm .... 
I don't even have a good reason. 
I think that 'life' just got in the way of my blogging - how dare it! 
But! I am back and can't wait to see what you have all been up to and catch up on all your blogs.
   
Even while I have been 'away' I have been busy making cards and this is one that I just finished using a Saturated Canary image 'Spring Ball'. Just by the name, it may not appear to fit into the whole 'Summer challenges' but I think that sunshine and outdoor activity are perfect together. I have also used Bazzill Basics Licorice paper pad, the Stacking Star die from MFT and Copic markers. 

I am going to enter this card into the following challenges:

And yet again ... a Boy


Once again, here is that image that reminds me of my brother, just a mere 43 years ago. Cool Dude Joe from Digi Stamp Boutique. And yes! he did have a skateboard and then a go kart and then a bike and then a motor bike (I think Mum is still recovering from that one) and then a car. What is it with men and their obsession with things!!! 
I, on the other hand was perfectly happy with playing schools, Barbie dolls and Donny Osmond. Of course I am over all that stuff now. 
Got to dash, I am off out and have to find my purple cap and I am distracted by one of those old songs playing on my ipo ..... I mean, the radio "..... and they called it puppy love, I guess they'll never 
know ... ". 

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

And again with the Boys

I've always liked the saying ..."When you are on a good thing - stick to it" and these cute Digi Stamp Boutique images are definitely a 'good thing' in my book. 
Luckily for me, I purchased the '3' set of images cause I love 3's of. 
Perhaps not so lucky for you - cause there is another one on the way. Stay tuned for 'skateboarding Joe"!

Boys!!!

This little fella, 'Joe and Present' from Digi Stamp Boutique, looks exactly like my brother used to look... about 43 years ago. 
That cute, adorable, 7 year old, sandy haired kid, who could do no wrong. 
(If you believe that then you have never had a younger brother) 

I thought that he might like to give this card to Mum for Mothers Day. All I have to do now is to go and choose, buy and wrap the present for him to give Mum. I am sure that I will be greatly appreciated with a - "Oh good! Thanks for that. What did I get her!" 
Brothers! 
I think that my sister and I created a monster. A lovable monster that is.
