Some news to share

As some of you may already know I stepped down from my postilion on the Lime Tart design team. I have been a part of the team for nearly two years and I felt that it was time for me to move on. Thanks heaps for your faith in my work and for having me on the team Philippa.

Here are two of my last projects for them.

How tweet it is.

 

Best buds.

And as the saying goes, One door closes and another opens. Well two in this case. lol

That is what happened after I made my mind about leaving Lime Tart, Lee Anne from Scrap Therapy asked me if I would return as a design team member . Therapy was my first online forum dt and it was nice to be asked to return home so to speak. What was even nicer was to find out that one of  Therapy's members, Deb, whose work I have always admired was joining the team along with Mandy, who like me was returning home. Mandy and I have crossed paths in a few dt places before but Therapy was the first and it was where our online friendship blossomed into what it is we have today.

Here is something I have done for the Man of the month showcase that was posted last night. Yes Man of the Month or MOM has returned. I won't tell you what it is though as you will have to pop on over and check that out for yourself.

Love adore card set.

Terri over at Challenge Masters also asked me to come on board as one of the challenge diva's. I will be running a "Scrapping the girls" challenge and a "Card and tag challenge" each month. 

Here is what I have done for the "Scrapping the girls" challenge.

but we will need to wait a few weeks for the "Card and tag "challenge.

Well I think that is all from me for now. I really need to get of my but and do some housework.

Till next time, as always thanks for popping in, any comments and happy creating.

Wahoo after a few dramas with my printer I finally printed out some of the photos that Sandie took a few weeks back. This one is my favorites.

Love my day dreamer.



Using the brick stamp from my new Tim Holtz set.

Seeing how Colleen used it on her projects so effectively I just had to add it to my collection. I was using it at the crop yesterday and Anne Marie sold the one she had in the shop and one of the other girls has put in an order for it too.

Beanie girl.

Lime Tart share

Now that the gallery has been up for a few days I thought I'd pop my projects I haven't shared here using January's half tart.

So proud


I took this photo one day after we asked Asher to go and get dressed for dinner one night. It was so hard not to laugh as all I could here from her room was "Leggings are my friend" over and over as she was talking herself into putting on something she doesn't like to wear and not long after that came "I've got to make mum proud."

Scrapnapping my friend Lou's gorgeous little girl Lucy again.

Sending you hugs and kisses.

Made using some of the wide trim that was left over from my Dec A la tarte kit.

This card is on it's way to a very special friend who is in need of  a pick me up.

Wonderful friend.

Made from some material. I cut out five, folded them into quaters and the arranged them onto a scrap of card before adding a button to the middle.

It was my sisters 40th birthday the weekend before christmas and seeing as I had just got my Lime Tart half tart kit the day before I used it to make her card.

Happy birthday

As always thanks for popping in, any comments and happy scrapping.

Pop on over to Kylie's blog, a new member to the Lime Tart team to find out all the details.


While you are there make sure you check out her other news too. I am sure that she will be having lots of fun with some cute stamps for a while.

Lime Tart projects.

I was thinking of what I will do with my January Half tart kit once I get christmas out of the way today when I realized that I haven't shared all of my projects from the December A la Tarte so here are the rest of them.

Hi card.


Lets dance card.


Adore layout.


Make sure you pop on over to the Lime Tart gallery to check what the other girls have done.

Thanks for popping in, any comments and happy creating.

December Lime Tart gallery.

is up and the girls all did an awesome job but don't take my word for it. Pop on over and see for yourself here.

Here is one of my two layouts using the A la tarte Kit.

You catch me daddy.


I've been scrapnapping again. I seen this photo on Kathleen's blog a while back and just fell in love with it so asked if I could scrap it for her.

As always thanks for popping in, any comments and happy creating.

I'm back

with that card I promised you.

You're just right.

I am entering this one in the latest challenge over on the Kraftin' Kimmie blog.

Hey did you notice that I gave Goldilocks a make over of sorts. Mine has something that the original hasn't. A friend suggested it and I thought seeing as it is going to be Missy's birthday card this year why not.

As always thanks for popping in, any comments and happy creating.

Guess what

I'm working with the month?

A very yummy A la tarte kit from Lime tart.


Stay tuned I played with it last night and did a layout and a card. I will show you the card later on today. I just have to get the photo of it.

I've had some fun.

I've been making flowers again

It was my turn for a step post this Saturday and I played around with my punches to make some flowers.


I am yet to put these two pink ones on a project but have done up a blue one that was used on this card.

Hi card.

You can find the details of how I did them on the Lime Tart blog. Fiddly but I love the look and it is a great way to use up those scraps we all have laying around.

Thanks for popping in, any comments and happy creating.

A challenge card

On Wednesday night when I was scrapping with Jane I was playing around with my pens and stamps. Once I had coloured in the hair and skin of my Sweet Pixies Birgitta I was not too sure just what colour to do the rest of her and Jane suggested purple. Now those that know me, know that doing purple is a real challenge but I so love how the colours in the Basic Grey papers came together with the copics I chose to use.

You make me smile card.

I'm not loving the way the spica on the wings looks though. Oh well I now know not to use it over anything that hasn't been coloured.

Here are the copic colours I have used.
Hair-E50,E51,E53
Skin-E000,E00,E01.R11
Dress and boots-BV0000,BV00,V91,V95
Flower-R11,R12,YG91,93,95

Once I had Birgitta coloured I pop on my computer to see if there were any challenges going that I could do the card for and the first one I checked out was Basic Grey challenges and guess what the challenge was. Wings. So I got to work on putting my card together using one of my growing collection of Nesties, a favorite greeting from one of my Rachelle Anne Miller sets and some punches.

If you get time why not play along as there is still a few days to go before the end of the challenge.

Thanks for popping in, any comments and happy creating.

How do you

My clear ones are stored by manufacture in a drawer.
My rubber ones are mounted on ezy mount stored on ezy mount sheets in a clear folder in a drawer and
