Paris girl

Hi there!

Well I can't believe it is nearly a month since I last posted!! But I have just got through a really busy 3 weeks. Calving started on the 20 July and we have been flat out since! We have 300 of our 400 cows calved and I am rearing/feeding 230 calves so far! Plus it hasn't helped that in the last 2 weeks, we have had half our yearly rainfall!!! So it has been very wet & muddy!! But I am now in a routine each day and have managed to get an hour or two in my craftroom! Had a good sort/tidy up and now have some cards to show you over the next few days!

I have been using Carta Bella paper - Paris Girl, love these dress Manequins. The die I have used is from MFT-Sew Nifty.  The tape measure ribbon is just new out from Kaisercraft.

Carta Bella-Beautiful Moments cards

Hi there - Here are some Carta Bella-Beautiful Moments cards I have made.

Love this Beautiful Moments Collection that this new company, Carta Bella, has put out.
I have also used the new Kaisercraft -Miss Match- ingo cards and their Vintage - Cherish Stamp.
As well I have used my favourites - Bakers twine, Butterfly Punch, Brads and the TH Ticket die.

 I am now back from holiday after spending 3 weeks up in the lovely Golden Bay at the top of the South Island!  Spent the time reading, walking & fishing! No crafting! So I am excited to be getting back into scrapping and card making.

2 Nostalgia Cards

Hi there,  here are a couple of cards to show you, using the Ruby Rock-it Nostalgia Collection.

For this card I die cut a kraft tag then stamped and white embossed a quote on it. I then added some of the chipboard from the collection in the way of the daisies, swirls and bird.

 This is an easel card to which I have added the chipboard spinner to the front.
A very versatile collection to work with.

A Broken Leg!

Hi there.
Here is a layout  to show you, using the Ruby Rock-it Nostalgia Collection.

My youngest, Matthew, got a broken leg when he was 5 months old. I love this photo of him with his leg in plaster - it didn't worry him at all! He loved to sit and hit the plaster cast, it made a good sound!
I have used the chipboard pieces to make the banner and I love the cute umbrellas.

Nostalgia Cards

Hi there
Well Artfull Crafts Centre Stage this month is Ruby Rock-It. So I have a couple of cards to show you using the Nostalgia Collection. I have gone with a sewing theme- love the cotton reel ends!

I love to machine stitch on my cards - so much more fun than mending farm overalls! The lovely sayings are from Papertrey Ink and I have embossed them with white embossing powder. Love the white on the Kraft card!
