Here is a card I made on behalf of the girls at work...for one of our lovely colleagues, who is setting off on a journey to Cairns for several months..

I love this Stampin'Up! set...with the clock

Have a great weekend xxx

A Layout too

This is the layout I completed whilst watching the DVD Space Chimps (which I really enjoyed) with the kids yesterday. I was very proud to get my still new Slice out to cut the 2 flowers and the words. Turned out great. Can't wait for my 4 new cartridges to arrive from the states. Now does anyone wanna buy a cricut, LOL...Seriously.
The butterflies are a Stampin Up punch which I have borrowed, thanks Gail. Very handy, might need it!! This is Emmy at her Fairy Birthday party. She looked so cute..
Enjoy your week...

Galiforce Stampers challenge

I am always up for a challenge. So when one of our team members chose this challenge out of left field I jumped on board...
The colours are from one of the DSP's in the Summer mini. They are so bright, but alas do look good together. We could also add Tempting Turqoise, but I didn't. I think it is perfect for a girls card, and will add an age somewhere with a bit of sparkle and I might add some bling to the 3D butterfly for antennas.

The colours used are - Pixie Pink, Pink Passion, Only Orange, Summer Sun and Green Galore. The cute butterfly (butterfly prints) set and punch are out of the mini too...

I hope you have all enjoyed your weekend. We have had a quiet one at home, with a nice dinner with friends last night. I got in a couple of movies, and completed a layout. And am looking forward to an extra day off this week. I also çan't believe in 8 sleeps I will be a school mum. I am so excited for the changes I will see in Harry, and for his new learning experiences.

catch Ya soon.

Cheers Karen xxx

Happy New Year

Happy New Year, I hope you are all well and inspired for a rewarding twenty ten..

I have had a lovely holiday in Inverloch over the New Year with my family, including my sister. We enjoyed going to the movies, the races and out for New Years dinner. I also had a chance to scrap while away, and then at 2 crops since new year. I have 2 to share from last night, and need to finish 1 layout and I will post the others too.







I bought a(nother) new tote last night, and I love it, so much of a better shape than my old one. Everything fits in much better and is easier to access. I am motivated to keep creating today..however I have to get washing done too. I am also keen to maybe go to Zoo Twilights tonight, but hubby may not be keen after his 120 km bike ride (madly training again for more Ironman events, crazy!!).
I was meant to go back to work this week, but had to take sick leave after Harry swallowed a coin last Saturday night, I have been on poo duty, and although I believe I have been thorough, it is yet to surface!!
Ok off to get the washing on.... take care
