Catching up...as promised...

OMG!! I can't believe my last blog post was in October! 

Let me start be welcoming the new year! I hope you all had a wonderful and safe Christmas. 

As promised I have a few photos to share of my sisters wedding from November 2013 (which now seems like awhile ago now). The day was perfect, we had wonderful weather and everyone absolutely enjoyed the day.

Being the artsy crafty sister (and the maid of honor) I was responsible for helping out with designing the wedding invites. This was no easy task...with specific taste and a Sh*t load of pins from Pinterest we finally found the right paper (thanks to paper flourish @Enfield) and created some awesome invitations.



Six weeks later, I was back to the creative drawing board to help make their bombonieres, order of service, guest book as well as other bits n' pieces.  







There were many little touches that were made that helped make the day even more special. Thanks to Nat (a bridesmaid) who made these gorgeous wedding car decorations. I absolutely loved this idea and was glad that my Silhouette Cameo stencils were helpful for this and a gift she made for the bride and groom.

The day was magical and I had a wonderful time with my sister and her bridesmaids. It's always fun (and a little stressful) creating for a wedding, but I highly recommend Pinterest (I only wish it was around when I was getting married). The ideas, different themes, colours, all in overwhelming numbers that you can't possibly re-create them all! But we sure did try for their BIG day!

For those that have read my previous blog, you will know that things are still very crazy at the moment. My scrapbooking room is in shamble with me packing it up, getting ready for the move to Canberra at the end of this month. So I will probably get one more post in (Christmas catch up) and then silence again, till February (of which I really cannot wait to get back in to crafting mode!) 

So please stay tuned, more good things to come in 2014

Happy Crafting!

Growing in Unity: Day 1

Image
Yippee!! After waiting 11 months, 10 days, it's finally my week to share my Unity cards. 5 whole days of inspiration is coming your way...oh! and lets not forget the sponsored giveaway by Unity at the end of my week - a grab bag with 25 random stamps! My first card I decided to use one of my favourite sets - I actually combined two (no, three!) Unity sets that really go well together. How do you use your Unity stamps? Would you mix and match them? When I first starting stamping (15 years ago) the thought of mixing sets would make me cringe - but now... no problems! I think it's a great way to make the most of your stamp collection. Here are my cards using Unity: Tumbleweed Houses , On My Way and Gypsy Journal (sentiment only) I coloured the images using a few of my ZIG brush pens and cut them out with my silhouette (for those who are visiting me for the first time - I try to avoid fussy cutting!) I added a few sewing machine details and adhered the hous...

A Super Quick Card!

Image
Just sharing another card I made (with the help of master 2 1/2yo). Stamp is unity -  Vase with stripes.  C oloured with prisma pencils and gamsol. A super quick card to make as master 2 1/2yo did most of the work. I just added some washi tape, sequins, twine and a stamp I coloured in during the week (for practice)  :) Entered into  ARTastic Inspiration Photo Challenge . Link to Unity Friends with Flair.

A Spring Inspired Card...

Image
This week (or should I say the last few weeks) have been super crazy busy! We got good news, my Hubby renewed his work contract with the option to move back home to Adelaide (which of course we jumped at!) So...we are now packing our belongings in to boxes and the worst room is...come on! have a guess! :) Yup!! My craft room... But its mostly packed up, with the exception of a few stamps, paper packs, a handful of embellishments and my copic markers.  Last week, in between all the craft room packing (I got distracted a few times!) I created this card, its from Unity's ...bunches of love stamps. I decided to make a few, I hate having left over paper, so I tend to create a card (generally for someone's birthday coming up) and then duplicate it so I have a stash of cards for those occasions you forget someones birthday coming up!  This was the perfect stamp set to do this! While stamping, I wished I had that misti tool Ive seen a few times now through youtube videos,...
