Autumn ...not here but somewhere!

I am having a rest from the christmas posts.....just for a short time...regular programing will continue shorly HEHEHE

Today I am posting a card made for the CAS-ual friday blog challenge.
Here today we are having our first really nice warm day in for ever! But on the other side of the world they are celebrating the start of Autumn.  They have challenged us to make a project inspired by Autumn.

I straight away new what i wanted to do...but had done something similar before....so i tweaked it a little and came up with this.


I know the flowers are a little summery, but the colours are definatly inspired by Autumn. .
I used some Distress stains and emboss resist to make a card I adore
Please pop over to the CAS-ual friday blog to see more great creations.
 Hoping you Enjoy your day no matter if its hot or cold!
Cheers Nat

Have u MISSED ME

Have you missed me....i have missed you all.  So where have I been u may ask?

I have been working away in my workshop on some fabulous new projects that are yet to be released.

I have loads of fun exciting projects to share with you! But I will have to keep you waiting for a few more weeks. Sep the 18th is Launch date....and I can hardly contain my excitement!!!! YEAH

 I have been extremely busy with these projects , but still had time to keep an eye on what all my friends in Blog world are doing. And as always you guys ROCK.

With such a long absence, its only fitting I return with a challenge from CAS-ual Fridays my all time favourite challenge blog!

This weeks challenge is to create a square card, and since today im off to see one of my best friends children baptised, I thought I would make their Baptisim card.


Have you ever made a Baptisim card........ it did stump me just a little!
Would love to see some of your designs if you have!

Oh and Congratulations Mia Tom and Archie , Have a fantastic day.

Will be back soon !

What girl dosnt like a little bling

Hi everyone,

I have another card for you today ( managed to get a few min in the workshop even with the little boy)
This weeks challenge #55 at CAS-ual Fridays is Bling! and lets face it what girl doesn't like a little bling , especially on out papercraft projects.
I went looking for some inspiration for this card and found a link to this blog by Virgina. Wow what inspiration, please pop over and check it out its amazing fun. Its all about colour and rainbows of it!

So with a few min to whip something up this is what I came up with.

You may have already guessed,  I did it with my Tim Holtz markers, so much easier than pulling all the ink pads out LOL.  The stamp is part of a the Birthday greetings set that was released last January.
After stamping all the butterfly's and the sentiment , I ran the card through the Ezy-press and embossed with white dots. After that I burnished over where the butterflies where stamped so that the dots were not so pronounced. And then the bling, Each butterfly was covered with a generous amount of icstickles. Fun and easy! Just the way I like it.
When I have a little more time Iwill probably re do the matting on this as its not quiet right.
Have a good day

Rainbow butterflies

Hi all
Today I have a layout to share , that I have been meaning to do for ages.
I Had a fantastic demo party the other week and had such a fun time playing with my Tim Holtz markers and then letting all my ladies loose to create some fab cards.
Then after the demo a few special gals stayed on to create this layout.
It is one closely adapted from a workshop created by Karen Turner, I just changed the stamps a little and used a new distress markers technique.
Here is the layout












And some details

And this last one is of my absolute fab'est girls ever, look how happy they all look, not to mention
 how each of them made there layouts their own! Love these ladies.



If you are wondering I'm in the center...don't mind been center of attention LOL
Have a good day
Nat
