Gardening.....

Today Neil and I realised just how BIG our garden is!

We spent all day today Mulching. We did the entire garden....it took us 8 hours. And we're both exhausted.

Yesterday we spent the morning preparing the Garden for today - cutting, trimming, weeding.

So we are pleased that it is all done - although we still have a bit of cleaning up to do. But it probably means that I will not be able to walk much tomorrow. I'm already starting to cease up!

Here's a few old pic's of the garden....sorry to tired to go and take new ones.

Makeesha's Inspiration Challenge

Wow...I have not posted anything here for a month!
I have heaps of things ready to post here...but I just have not got round to it. Oh well - I'm here now.


So here is a little card I did for Makeesha's Inspirational Challenge this week.
I've used Ballet Blue & Whisper White. And the flowers are done with So Saffron & Cameo Coral. Stamp Sets are Baroque Motifs & Botanical Blooms.

Hope you like.

Also - here is the Link to Makeesha's Challenge post. So you can play too!

Bleaching Class.

As I said in my last post - I have been playing with Bleaching lately. These are the cards we did in a Class.

A New Year Challenge...

Now that it is a New Year, it is time to get back into Weekly Challenges! It's a great way to try new things - layouts, techniques and colour combos.

So the first one that I have participated in for the Year is a Sketch Challenge from Makeesha. And this is what I made.

I have used the Bleaching technique on this card. I was doing something very very similar for a class that I am running at the moment so combined the sketch and the bleaching to come up with this.

I will post some pic's from the Bleaching Class soon.

One Template / 3 Projects.

I have a few projects that I have not posted yet. So I thought I would start playing catchup now.

After going to the Perth Regional's last year I have been playing around a bit with taking one idea and doing a number of projects with it. I decided to do this in a class so that I could share the idea with everyone else. And this is what we made.... 1. A little Love Note.

2. A standard size Card

3. A 6 x 6 Layout

Ouch!

"I hungry" Sarah said as she ran to the pantry. Standing on tippy-toes she started to sort through the shelves to see what she could find.

Just as I came up behind her she found something and pulled it out....unfortunately she knocked a can of Fruit salad - off the shelf straight onto her big toe!

After a few seconds delay (during which I thought she'd missed her toe) she screamed!!

So we then spent the rest of the morning nursing her sore toe.

Here's a pic of it.....DON'T LOOK though if you don't like sore toes.

But one day later...she seems to have forgotten she hurt it.
