A Balancing Act

Delighted to report that I have been very busy creating new things and filling special orders but I must admit that during busy periods  I have found it hard to maintain a work/blog balance....

I am working on lots of new projects  and preparing seasonal lines and will be able to share some sneak peeks soon, but until then I will share a few of the cards I have made since my last post.

Son birthday card

Father's Day card  for the footie fan

Thank you card

Fun birthday card

Shirt & Tie shaped card

Don't forget, if you would like a one of a kind special card made for the one of a kind special person in your life all you have to do is contact me to discuss your requirements and I will get to work on it right away.

Such grand plans

Oh I had such grand plans for 2012 . . . but in order to do all the things I want to do - keep making lovely things, make new and different lovely things, explore new and lovely crafts, live an interesting life, laugh lots and still keep up with the household stuff -  I have realised I need more hours in every day and at least three more pairs of hands, a double double dose of extra energy . . . oh and some extra brain power wouldn't go amiss either ;-)

So while I am waiting for my pre-ordered super powers to arrive, I am happily plodding along and keeping a fine balance of making lovely things and trying new lovely things, laughing lots and living life to the best of my ability.
                                                                                                   
                                                                                         Last week a super-fabulous return  customer (all customers are fabulous of course, but regular return customers are super-fabulous) contacted me with a request for a special card for her daughter . . . and now that the card is in the safe hands of the intended recipient, with the customers permission, I can show it off.

2012 Live your story

 
And now for something completely different . . .

  This is a 12 x 12 inch framed project for 2012 using a mix of neutrals for backing and a lot of inky stuff, chipboard and a little bling. . .

The central old metal charm is embossed
with the words

"Live Your Story. . . "


I had such fun with this - there will definitely be more to follow.

Many Thanks to Monica Gale for sharing her project which was the inspiration for my interpretation xx

Flower power

It has been too long since I updated and  sometimes it can be hard to maintain the balance of creating, updating and juggling those little curve balls life throws every now and again . . . but I have been busy behind the scenes and will have lots of new things to showcase shortly . . . for now, just to prove I have not been completely idle, here is a little peek at what I have been up to lately . . .

Type Talk

Fancy Folds

 Type talk - in this case given the distressed treatment







Fancy folds cards, in brights and pastels

 

Fresh Flowers

 This is one of my latest designs and one of my recent favourites - quite possibly subconsciously made with someone like me in mind  ;-)

Craft fair season is moving into full swing shortly and I will be updating the events calendar pretty soon . . . but for now I have things to make . . .

Something Blue...

Last one from me for tonight....

Summer  officially starts at the end of this month and with that comes the wedding season. So I thought I'd make a start with this triple layer decoupage on this wedding card... with stardust accents.

Flowers for Mum

Thought I would share this floral Mother's day card. It has been really hard to get a decent picture because of the sheen factor of the finish, but I hope you can see  some of the detail and can appreciate how lovely this is. It has three layers of floral decoupage with glazed accents and carries the message

Happy Mother's Day.

Mum....you're sew sweet

Its all about Mum at the moment - with Mother's Day just 18 days away.


Mum's everywhere are a great reason to celebrate ... Its time to show just how much you care.

To my special Mum I say, get ready for an attack of the Mum hugs xx
