Going Home

I'm finally getting out of my dungeon (my room with inadequate lighting) in Timaru and back home to "shaky land" tonight!

It has been great fun here and I really enjoyed Psychiatry (somewhat surprisingly). Loved the people I got to work with.

Nonetheless, it all must come to an end. I shall be back home tonight to where all my crafting gear is :D

I do have a wedding in Queenstown over the weekend, so probably no crafting till next week, but hey! I'll try and update the blog a bit more often :)

Traffic Light Sunflowers

Hello again!

Back with another card. I just found a card in my harddrive that never got shared. So here it is! I actually submitted this card to a magazine but never got a happy mail from. I loved this card when I made it, but now that I look at it, I don't really like it so much. I think my style has changed slightly yet again since November last year!

I have to say I'm totally craving stamping atm. But I have nothing with me here in Timaru T_T And I still have another 5 1/2 weeks left here! Perhaps if I had a big Crop In Style tote, then I'd have an easier time taking things around with me. There's even a decent scrapbooking shop in Timaru, and they do crops every two weeks. If I only had my things!!!!! I need to find myself a way to get myself one of those Crop In Style totes. Can't get them new here, and those ppl trying to sell theirs are all in North Island and won't ship them to where I am :(

But anyway, card time.

So a fairly simpile card. Three pieces of different cardstock, put them all together side by side and heat emboss images. Separate them out slightly on a card base, wrap around some vellum and ribbon. Heat emboss sentiment. Easy as pie.

Anyway, I'll leave you with this card. I have two other cards that needs to be shared, but one of them is Stephinka's bday card. I will share it on her birthday unless it reaches her in the next 36hrs (which I highly doubt).

Thanks for coming by!

Night Night Moon Baby Card

Hello again everyone!

I've got another card to share with you all today. I've absolutely no motivation to study tonight and this is going to make me feel like I've done something! lol

I'm back down in Timaru and I've left all of my crafting gear at home, so I have nothing to play around with here T_T Dad just texted me this morning that my new purchases off someone has arrived today. Which means more baby stamp sets and houndstooth!!!!! But I will have to wait till next weekend to play with them <_<

Anyhow, here's a baby card to keep you entertained. I have to admit, the next three cards all look more or less the same. But I just love this style and technique. Stamp backgrounds with outlined images, then go around each image with T1 Copic Sketch marker for a bit of shading and then run it through the Woodgrain impression plate. It totally rocks <333

This card is specifically made for one of my patients who is eagerly waiting to deliver her baby next week. I seriously hope the baby is still a girl when we deliver her lol

I think this makes such a neat card. It's simple, yet has enough. And it's very very easy to colour coordinate too. Btw, I used my brand spanking new Berry Sorbet ink pad. It inks beautifully. Though I have to say, Orange Zest inks and stamps better than any I've ever tried. Anyway, a close-up view here. You should be able to see the Woodgrain Impression a bit better here.

Hope you enjoyed this post. Next two cards aren't really that different but hey, at least I'm posting now aren't I? ;)

Thanks for poppin' by!

A Mini Update

Hello everyone.

Sorry I've been rather quiet recently! I just haven't had time to make anything. The one card I did manage to make ended up as a PaperCrafts submission so fingers crossed for that one! hehe.

I'm going to be out of town for 2-3 months for my studies. I'm off to the beautiful Central Otago town, Cromwell, on Wednesday and there for a few weeks to 'work' at the general practice there. Then I'm off to South Canterbury for my other runs.

Because I now have a car, I am going to shove all my crafting gear into a box and take it with me. So hopefully I'll have time to do a bit more once I'm settled. Unfortunately I don't think I'll have a good camera with me (not that I ever had a decent one), so you'll have to put up with my phone!

Anyway, I hope everyone is faring well. Will give another update once I'm settled down in Cromwell, famous for their cherries and apricots (and in season now too!!!). YUMMY! :D
