Emmas Gift for Elphine House Australia!

Hi, Hope your all well! Just a quick post tonight as i am not feeling so great...I have been changing  medication about the past few weeks and cant get right dose...i hope its all worth it! 

Its time for a new challenge at Elphine House Australia!

We had many beautiful entries last month... its great to see all those Elisabeth Bell images come out to play along with us!

This month the challenge theme is ..Make your own background...No Designer Papers!"

I love my designer papers so i was wondering what to make. Well what you see is NOT the card i first made. I had my card just about finished when Carrie came running in and knocked my Spun Sugar Re-Inker all over my desk and some splashed over my card! Laugh or Cry!? i didnt know what to do!!

Carrie looked at me and said in a totally serious voice "Oops...well to be honest Mum..i think that card maybe wasnt you best anyway!!"  What do you say to that!!

So here is my new card...which has been approved by Carrie! lol!

I used "Emma's Gift of Love" which you can buy from the Elphine House Australia Store.

She is coloured with Promarkers and Polychromos. 

Dies - Sizzix Thinlet Doily, Spellbinders Beaded and Classic Oval, Memory Box Vivienne, Butterfly Delights, Marianne Design Flourish and Spellbinders D-Lites antastic Flourish Three. The embossing folder is Floral Fantasy.

Flowers from Wild Orchid Craft and Ribbons, Lace, gems etc are all from Hobbycraft.

Here are a few challenges to enter my card into ....

Papertake Weekly - Lovely Layers

City Crafter Challenge - Lace and Flowers

A Beary Big Hug!!

Hi! Hope you have got nice things planned for you weekend!

I have had a busy week with appointments for Carrie and myself so looking forward to a relaxing weekend.

I am here with a card that i made just for the fun of it...

This stamp is another of my old favourites from Elisabeth Bell. She is called "Beary Big Hugs" and was a Belles n Whistles stamp.

I have coloured her with Promarkers but a lot of the shading and colouring was done using my Polychromos Pencils. I love these pencils, they blend so well. They are quite expensive but i just add to my collection by buying a couple each time i am at the local craft store. 

Materials..

Hello, Well what a day. I am late with this post because i was not feeling great today. We also had Carries school harvest service but just as i was leaving i got a call saying my mum had fallen down the stairs. She has had so many falls lately. Her brain Tumour has left her with mobility and co-ordination problems as well as short term memory loss and very poor concentration. We are not sure why she falls. She just has no idea. We got the Careline service installed for her so she has her button on her wrist which has came in handy a few times!

Anyway enough of me babbling on. I am here with my card for the new Elphine House Australia challenge!
