Monthly challenge for March

Ok as March in Australia kicks of Autumn, my monthly challenge is to use Autumn tones and leaves. You may like to make some leaves from stamps, use real leaves or artificial ones - it's up to you. Make sure you incorporate the beautiful colours of autumn. This is my fave time of the year - the leaves are great, the air is clear and the sun still manages to shine. Bring it on. Have fun with this challenge - can't wait to see what you create. 1. Shandell 2. DebiJ 3. Vicky Luv Sandie

Embellish Magazine - Masculine Colour Trends

Here is my take on the challenge currently running at Embellish Magazine.

The challenge was to use 4 colours and produce a masculine card.

I have used chipboard squares and cogs by Scrapbook Lady, Pakenham and some Japanese tapes and also an old cog from a tape cassette. I made a card several years ago using the other red cog and was hanging onto this one for just the right thing. Oh and the sentiment is from a set of Hero Art stamps.

Hope all is well in your part of the world.

Happy Birthday To Me

Well there you have it - another year older!!!!!

I have to say I've had the bestest day.

It all started early this morning - the kids got up rather early to finish off my birthday cards - all handmade which I just love. Of course in true tradition - I cried when I TRIED to read them..........priceless stuff!!!! I am truly blessed I tell ya!!!!!

I have had lots and lots of text messages, phone calls and Facebook greetings - I am blown away. Thank you so much to all.

Sean and I both had the day off work and made our way into Melbourne. We walked up and down Chapel Street which was lots of fun, took some silly photos in one of those little photo booths, had a nice lunch together and a couple of cuppas. Back home in the afternoon in time for the kids to get home and then headed off for dinner to Sean's mum and dad's home for a nice home cooked dinner.

Fantastic day and feeling rather spesh!!!!
